Everybody loves to visit new places. However there a number of locations around the world which will give you nightmares. You will forget your sleep after watching some uncanny attractions. Here are the top 20 dangerous tourist attractions in the world.
1. Mount Huashan
The Plank Walk on China's Mount Hua is considered by many as one of the most dangerous hikes in the world. Hikers walk across a few planks of wood bolted into the side of a 7,000-foot peak to reach a small shrine. While the hikers are harnessed, it is still a terrifying adventure to many who dare. The amazing fact is, this dangerous tourist attraction is considered one of China's five sacred mountains and is one of the most popular tourist attractions and pilgrimage sites for Chinese people.
2. Hiking Trolltunga
This dangerous tourist attraction is Norway's most spectacular hiking destinations. But it is one of the most dangerous and hardest hiking destinations on earth. The estimated trekking time is 7-10 hours. Signs along the trail show the remaining distance to both Trolltunga and back to the trailhead. There are several options for traveling by bus, and every routetakes you via the village of Odda in Hardanger. On this dangerous holiday spot, a 24-year-old Australian girl fell off the Troll's Tongue and died.
3. Devile Pool - Victoria Falls
Devil's Pool is located atop Victoria Falls, one of the largest waterfalls in the world. The pool has long been a top must-explore tourist destination on the travel bucket list of many adventure lovers. Devil's Pool is located in the Zambezi River, along the Zambia-Zimbabwe border. Here, tourists swim dangerously close to the tipping point of the falls, only prevented from falling by a slippery, submerged lip of rock.
4. End Road
This most dangerous tourist destination in Bolivia is known as End Road for all of the reasons you'd guess. Driving up or down this 43-mile switchback is extremely perilous due to fog, landslides, cascades, and cliffs that drop 2,000 feet at every turn. The road hardly gets wider than 10 feet. Multiple crucifixes spot the ground as memorials to those who have perished there.
5. Trift Bridge
It is the only suspension bridge of the longest walkway in the Swiss Alps. Beside the long trek, the view here may also weaken some people's knees. It is suspended 330 feet from the valley floor and 560meters in length. This is only the second bridge ocated in the beautiful valley with its dazzling andscape. In 2004, a huge hydroelectric plant was uilt under Trift Glacier. The plant collected and controlled the runoff from the glacier. A bridge was needed to reach the power plant below the glacier and o this precariously positioned structure was built.
However it is not considered as dangerous as the lass bridge in china.
Kokoda and Black cat Trails
This dangerous tourist destination is a challenging 8km Papua New Guinea Adventure that runs etween Salamaua and Wau in the Morobe Province is a forgotten World War 2 trail that passes through come of the toughest and most hazardous terrains in he world.

10 Most Dangerous Tourist Destinations ON EARTH!
If you're tired of all-inclusive beach holidays, sightseeing tours, and package deals, if your sick of vacationing in the same boring places, why not try something a little more exciting and a lot more dangerous? Here are the 10 Most Dangerous Tourist Destinations ON EARTH!
1. Praia De Boa Viagem, Brazil
One of Brazil's most beautiful beaches, its warm waters make it a wonderful place to swim, and not just for humans. In 2012 an 18-year old became the 56th shark attack victim in the last 20 years. Shark attacks have an average mortality rate of 16% but here, for some unknown reason, Bull and Tiger Sharks are much more aggressive and mortality rates are a whopping 37%!
2. Shenzhen Safari Park
Home to over 10,000 animals and over 300 different species, it also has some of the rarest species too! The Giant Panda, The Golden Monkey, and Magellanic penguin to name a few. Shenzhen safari park is also home to numerous lions and tigers, and these animals are not in cages! you can view them from the inside of the caged tour bus, Just Be Careful With Your Fingers!
3. Mount Sinabung, Indonesia
Hikers and climbers travel here to reach the summit of mount Sinabung whilst enjoying the beautiful Indonesian landscape. However, this Mountain is actually a volcano and after 1200 years of lying dormant, in 2010 it began erupting, further eruptions in 2013 and 2014, and a Pyroclastic flow in 2016 which killed 7 visitors. these small eruptions seem to warn us of an imminent larger one although no one knows when, so visit at your own risk!
4. Kokoda and Black Cats trails, Papua New Guinea
If you enjoy trekking, you may want to consider Papua New Guinea. This 4 to 5 day Trek through mountains and leech-infested swamps to the town of Wau is known as one of the toughest in the world. Lonely Planet described it as only suitable for Masochists and Israeli Paratroopers.
5. Mount Washington, New Hampshire
At around 6200 ft tall, Mount Washington is actually a rather small mountain, don,t let its size fool you though as it's actually known as the most dangerous small mountain in the world. It has extremely high winds, with gusts up to 230mph! It has recorded 150 fatalities since 1849 and is known to have literally blown climbers off it.
6. Madidi National Park, Bolivia
This Park is one of the largest protected areas in the world and also one of the most biodiverse. However, if you wish to visit it you will be faced with some challenges. Torrential rain can make the flight into Rurrenabaque, let's just say interesting. Next, a 15-hour bus trip on a flood-prone mountain path in addition to the numerous insects, parasites, poisonous plants, snakes, and spiders doesn't really make for a good Travel Brochure.
7. Lake Natron, Tanzania
Lake Natron is a salt lake and has extremely alkaline water, this water is home to very little, some endemic algae, invertebrates, and birds, most notably the lesser flamingos who gather there to feed upon Spirulina the algae which gives the birds their color.
The lake's excessive alkalinity, above 12, and extreme temperatures, up to 140f make it not only an inhospitable place but also a dangerous one.
8. Mount Hua, China
Mount Hua is one of China's most important mountains and also one of the most dangerous, claiming around 100 lives a year. The only way up is via a thin wooden walkway that is bolted onto the side of the mountain and some wires to hold onto. the lack of handrails turns any slight loss of footing into a 7000ft freefall!
9. Yosemite Half Dome, California
Whilst on the subject of dodgy ascents, the Half Dome is 8800ft high and the only way up is via an improvised stairway made of two handrails and some planks of wood. The half-dome has claimed 12 lives in recent years and 240 emergency incidents.
10. Skellig Michael, Ireland
This twin-peaked island is home to a 7th-century monastery which is accessible via 3 stone staircases. These staircases were made to be difficult to climb as a defense mechanism against invaders. Nowadays these stairs are a defense mechanism against tourists, especially when wet, which is almost always. Many tourists have complained asking for handrails to be installed, although the Irish tourist board says this would ruin this perfectly preserved historical site, and that maybe tourists should do some research before visiting.

Cannibalism in Ancient Fiji
From the Global Village Travel Guide and DVD, Islands of the South Pacific. Stock footage available from
Transcript:
For hundreds of years,
the Fijian islands were avoided by explorers such as Captain Cook
who dubbed them the Cannibal Islands.
This grisly reputation held Europeans at bay until the
early 1800s. Today the only vestiges of cannibalism
are found behind glass at the Suva museum.
This display depicts the ancient custom of putting the bones of hated
enemies between the branches of a tree at the edge of the village
as a warning to potential raiders and to keep evil ancestor spirits
away.
These implements are forks used in a ritual
cannibal ceremony. They prevent the fingers
of the diner from touching the flesh of the victim.
Although cannibalism disappeared with the
spread of Christianity, another unusual ritual
practice survives in Fiji today

from Nadzap Airport to Lae, Papua New Guinea
Whatever happened to the Old Lae Airport?
Whatever happened to the Old Lae Airport?
That is the question I am often asked by former Lae residents now living overseas.
To best answer this question, I flew my drove over the airport towards the sea and back, on the morning of February 14, 2022.
For those who came in late:
The old Lae airport has played a significant role in the history of the town, Papua New Guinea, and the whole world for that matter.
Mordern day Lae and PNG grew because of the airport.
The greatest airlift the world had ever known started from Lae to the Bulolo goldfields in the 1930s.
World attention was focused on Lae in 1937, and continues to this day, when it was the last port of called for the famed American aviatrix Amelia Earhart before she disappeared somewhere over the deep-blue South Pacific ocean.
Lae airstrip was bombed out by the Japanese on January 21, 1942, however, recovered to become a major player in the development of post-war PNG.
I still have unforgettable memories – as a child - of flying to Wewak, Rabaul, Buka, Kavieng, Goroka and many other places in those trusty old Ansett, TAA and later Air Niugini DC3s and F27s.
The old Lae airport started losing its thunder in 1977 when Nadzab, an American World War II strip, became operational.
Fierce political squabbling over the pros and cons of Lae and Nadzab continued until 1982, when, in an unsolved mystery (just like Amelia Earhhart), the Lae airport terminal was burned down.
Nadzab had taken away its glory; however, Lae continued to be used by Air Niugini and other third-level airlines until 1987.
Lae continued to be used as the base for the PNG Defence Force Air Transport Squadron until it was transferred to Port Moresby in 1992.
After that, one of the greatest icons of PNG history was literally left to the dogs, and became covered by bushes.
It was then sub-divided for commercial purposes as well as given back to the traditional landowners.
Famous Snake Man
The famous snake man in Morobe Province, and PNG, is Pathsy Saku from Widuru in the Labuta Rural LLG of Nawaeb district. He's a threatre dancer who used to roam around the country with a dancing troupe. His interest with snakes started in 1988 after researching a 100-year-old story that his ancestors charmed a python. The python was believed to be a messenger.
He can handle any species of snake and is fond of pushing their heads into his mouth, a feat he's proud of. All his family members can charm snakes, including his young son, who is seen in this video.
