Best Countries to Visit for Well-Traveled People Who've Been Everywhere

Bhutan

A Buddhist kingdom set high in the Himalayas, visiting Bhutan is like stepping into a magical realm. Fortresses and monasteries adorn the high valleys and mountaintops, and gross national happiness is not only measured but taken extremely seriously.

The concept encapsulates Bhutan’s holistic approach to well-being and sustainable development. As part of this philosophy, Bhutan tackles tourism with a low-volume, high-quality strategy that sees visitors paying a minimum fee of $250 USD a day.

While it is not a cheap destination, it is most certainly a unique one, with a blending of ancient and modern worlds that will fascinate and inspire you.

Georgia

A former Soviet Republic on the edge of both Europe and Asia, Georgia is coming into its own as a unique and exciting destination.

It has a little bit of everything: the Caucasus Mountains, the Black Sea, the ancient wine-growing region of Kakheti, cave monasteries dating back almost a thousand years, and diverse architecture among the cobblestone streets of Tbilisi, the capital city.

Every aspect of Georgia is utterly charming, sure to delight even travelers who have been everywhere.
