Victoria Falls in Africa - when I first saw these falls I was utterly impressed. Turned out what I glimpsed through the trees was only a small part of the falls. Over a mile wide and 100 metres high, these are some amazing cascades. When you're there make sure you do the rafting. Class 4 and 5 all the way (and one class 6 which you walk around) - the BEST!

Where Adventure Begins

Halong Bay in the north of Vietnam is a pretty place with lime stone cliffs coming straight out of the sea. When I went I made sure I stayed two nights in the bay. This allows you to explore further afield and discover less traveled spots. http://www.adventurecenter.com/details?TripID=11889

Bagan is an ancient city in Burma (Myanmar). From the 9th to 13th centuries, the city was the capital of the Kingdom of Pagan, the first kingdom to unify the regions that would later constitute modern Myanmar. During the kingdom's height between the 11th and 13th centuries, over 10,000 Buddhist temples, pagodas and monasteries were constructed in the Bagan plains alone. Of these the remains of over 2200 temples and pagodas still survive. http://www.adventurecenter.com/details?TripID=4
