Joining a tour group can take the pressure off planning, help you connect respectfully and safely with local culture and wildlife, and keep you safe while you explore.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, there are the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/nepal-backpacking\/\" class=\"post links\">Everest Basecamps<\/a> and the Machu Picchus of the world, but what\u2019s also REALLY fun is exploring the destinations you don\u2019t always hear about.

Whether you\u2019re at the start of your travels and are looking to shake off the 9-5, or you\u2019ve been on a whirlwind trail of party hostels, concrete jungles and beach parties, a little bit of headspace could be just what you need to centre yourself. Silent meditation retreats can be found dotted around Thailand, Japan, Indonesia, India and many other backpacker-friendly countries. Ranging from 3-30 days and beyond, these retreats have been known to change lives\u2026If you can keep quiet, that is!<\/p>\n<h2>Head out for a different dive<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-136994\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/GettyImages-514741984.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"474\" height=\"316\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/GettyImages-514741984.jpg 724w, https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/GettyImages-514741984-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Coral reefs are beautiful diving spots, but if you want to venture into the big blue for a once in a lifetime experience, head to Malapascua Island in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/backpacking-philippines\/\" class=\"post links\">The Philippines<\/a> for some shark action. This tiny island to the north of Cebu is home to thresher sharks, who head there for a daily scrub down from local cleaning wrasse fish. Macro divers also flock to the island for the colourful mandarin fish, seahorses and blue ring octopi. A PADI license is a must, but stay for a little longer and you can get your accreditation on the island.

Bornean rainforest deforestation means they\u2019re becoming increasingly rare, but if you want to spot them in their treetop homes head to the Kinabatangan River in Sabah. Here, you can stay in huts along the water and head out on daily river safaris to try and spy their fuzzy orange heads up in the rainforest canopy. You can also go on night-time treks to search for snakes, spiders and even slow loris\u2019!
