When you think about it, the world doesn't seem to be such a small place after all. Don't expect a warm reception or tourist friendly services at these places since some of them might just put your life in danger or make your visit a living nightmare. So be careful what you wish for Wink

Some contributors mentioned these destinations as hard and almost impossible to visit.

1. North Sentinel Island

North Sentinel Island is located near the Andaman and Nicobar islands and is home to the Sentinelese tribe who do not welcome any contact from the outside world. Even after the 2004 tsunami when rescuers tried to find out if the tribes had survived, their relief parcels were reciprocated with spears and arrows. Anthropologists have given up studying about the tribesmen due to their potential wrath of killing outsiders on sight. The only images that exist of these people are from satellite photos and spy cameras.

2. Eritrea

Nested between Sudan and Ethiopia, Eritrea ranks lower than North Korea when it comes to freedom of the press. Information is thoroughly controlled, so if your visa is denied, don't be surprised. Reporters Without Borders claims that there are no foreign journalists in the country.

While Ethiopia and Sudan suffered from famine, there were no official reports on the status of Eritrea. The east African nation's human rights record is unknown, considering that many refugees from the country try to enter Europe by crossing the Mediterranean Sea by boat.

3. North Korea

Travelling to North Korea is difficult. Visas are only issued if you are travelling with a tour group assigned by the government and the tour leader will follow you everywhere. Okay, well not to the toilet, but he/she will not allow you to venture out on your own and interact with locals.

If you do interact with any of them, they are assigned by the government to speak to you and display North Korean hospitality. If you thought you can enter Pyongyang through Seoul, think again. You can only fly in through Beijing.

4. Jan Mayen Island

Jan Mayen is a volcanic island located in the North Arctic Ocean and is a part of the kingdom of Norway. It has around 18 military and scientific personnel stationed there for research. Special Permission is required from the Norwegian government but that doesn't mean going there by plane or boat is easy.

There's just one flight per month and due to the absence of harbours, and ferries there are sparse. The island maybe virtually uninhabited except for defense forces but it has been significant throughout history from being a migration point of ancient monks to being a strategic standpoint of the Allied forces.



If you're a Geology buff you must visit the island just for the heck of it. The views are amazing, and hey, you having bragging rights when you get back!
