  • Laos, 4 000 îles : pourquoi passer 3 jours à Don Som ? | Douzeregardsdumonde

    Pour éviter les bien connues Don Det et Don Khon, Don Som est le spot idéal pour 3 jours sur les 4 000 îles au sud du Laos. Why spend 3 days in Don Som? To avoid the (too) well-known Don Det, Don Khong and Don Khon, Don Som is the perfect spot to spend three days on the 4,000 islands in southern Laos. The island extends over a little over 10 kilometers. And yet, unlike its neighbors Don Det and Don Khong, only one guesthouse has made its mark. Run by the Lao-Dutch couple, Tanoi and Sander, the Don Som Riverside Guesthouse borders the Mekong. And its hammocks are a great way to watch the sunrise over this peaceful island. In the middle of a Lao village Placed in your bungalow, you can easily engage in discussion with your hosts, super friendly and very good cooks. They love to share Lao culture and will advise you to take a tour of the island to meet the locals. Super welcoming and smiling, the latter could well invite you for a drink or two if they meet you on the way, between two happy “Sabaideee” of their children. Want to go to Don Det? Everything is possible The place is perfect for relaxation and the locals will make you want to enjoy it. But if you want to go to Don Det to take a look at the waterfalls and the dolphins on the Laos-Cambodia border, Tanoi and Sander rent bikes and scoots for the day... Just to be back in time for dinner at the edge of the Mekong! From Pakse, take a tuk tuk to the km8 terminal to the south. You will then find songthaew for 40,000 kips per person towards the 4,000 islands. You have to ask if the driver stops at the Ban Khinak market. From there you will have to walk 100m to a wooden bridge and then take a boat at 3,000 kips per person. By turning left at the exit of the boat, you will then find about 500m a sign indicating the guesthouse. For more info, Tanoi and Sander will answer you in detail via their Facebook page!

  • Chine : Comment aller de Yangshuo à Zhangjiajie | Douzeregardsdumonde

    Passer des pains de sucre de Yangshuo aux mystérieux pics karstiques de Zhangjiajie (Hunan) ressemble à un petit défi. How to get from Yangshuo to Zhangjiajie Going from the sugar loaves of Yangshuo (Guangxi) to the mysterious karst peaks of Zhangjiajie (Hunan) looks like a small challenge. But hopefully it won't take you more than a day. The route starts at Yangshuo North Terminal. Buses leave very frequently to Guilin for a journey of about 1h30. Once on the bus, you have to be a little zealous with the driver to tell him your stop. You want to get off at Guilin South Station (“ Guilin Train Station ” on maps.me ). From here, several trains leave for Changsha. With a bit of luck, there should be places left for a train in the early afternoon. This magnificent day of transport in China will cost you 350 yuan all inclusive. The bus between Yangshuo and Guilin costs 35 yuan, the high-speed train between Guilin and Changsha will cost you 180.5 yuan, and the last transport of the day, the bus between Changsha and Zhangjiajie, costs 134.5 yuan. How much does it cost ? In Zhangjiajie at the end of the day If you're sitting on the train, the hardest part is done. In 3h30 (in express format), it will take you to Changsha South Station. Luckily, buses to Zhangjiajie leave from this same terminal. You will then have 4 to 5 hours left (depending on the motivation of the driver) to reach your destination and finish this long day of transport. Once there, you can easily find a hostel in the area, with plenty of touts doing their rounds (hard to bargain lower than 100 yuan for two). Staying in the area is also rather a good plan because you will be right next to the terminal from where the buses leave for Zhangjiajie National Park.

  • Pérou : pourquoi aller au Choquequirao ? | Douzeregardsdumonde

    Dans l’ombre du Machu Picchu, le Choquequirao a de nombreux atouts pour concurrencer son mythique cousin. Why go to Choquequirao? In the shadow of Machu Picchu, the Choquequirao nevertheless has many advantages to one day compete with its mythical cousin. Between authenticity and economy for the wallet. They stand in the middle of the clouds. At 3000m, intact, the ruins of Choquequirao reveal a piece of Inca history. All around, the summits are competing to go as high as possible. Below, the Apurimac river tries to make its way between the mountains. During this time, the tourist finds himself lost. Amazed by this magical setting. Alone in the world The impression is enjoyable. In this mystical setting, you are alone (or, at worst, you come across 4 or 5 other hikers). Alone with this mysterious Inca city, whose exact function we still do not know. Between the upper part and the lower part of the site, take your time. Either way, no one is going to rush you. You are alone. Very far from the hustle and bustle of a well-known neighboring Inca city. Isolated, but not for long... The mood could change. Much less popular with tourists than Machu Picchu, Choquequirao is nevertheless in the sights of the Peruvian government. The former president Kuczynski had even scouted there for a cable car project. The goal ? Increase the number of visitors from a few thousand per year to several hundred thousand. Quick, it's time to go! The calves will be well rewarded The walk could be discouraging. With its very high slopes, the “Choque” is indeed frightening. Ultimately, this trek is worth doing precisely because it challenges its trekkers. Above all, the Inca city found at the top and the panorama then offered to the eyes of the tourist largely reward this walk. Relief mixed with amazement. The correct operation of the wallet Prices have been rising lately... But nothing to panic about! Entry to Choquequirao still costs 60 soles (about 15 euros). Much less than the 150 you have to pay to enter Machu Picchu. The wallet will therefore quickly choose its side.

  • Rajasthan : que faire à Bundi ? | Douzeregardsdumonde

    Étape assez peu prisée dans le Rajasthan, Bundi possède de nombreuses beautés à découvrir. Au programme, un fort abandonné, de magnifiques réservoirs et un peu de chill en terrasse. What to do in Bundi? Not very popular stage in Rajasthan, Bundi has many beauties to discover. On the program, an abandoned fort, magnificent reservoirs and a bit of chill on the terrace. Nagar Sagar Kund, in the middle of town Cenotaph, lake and reservoirs The old town serves as a peaceful retreat.away from the noise , in the middle of the cows, laughing to the rhythm of the monkey races on the roofs. However, a small tour in the new city offers other discoveries. A combo ticket (500 rupees in October 2018) includes entrance to Rani Ji Ki Baori Reservoir and its impressive gate, Kipling's Palace by Jait Sagar Lake, and the 84-pillar cenotaph. On the way, the twin wells of Nagar Sagar Kund (free) constitute a very nice stop even if the waste spoils the beauty of the place. Rooftops, sunsets and reggae Light is its best asset. At sunset, the roofs of Bundi reflect their most beautiful brilliance. And it's time to taste thalis, aloo gobi or sweet lassis. To enjoy it, the city offers many rooftops on which to spend a few hours in the evening. According to our totally subjective experience, the superb welcome of the Guddu family, at the Guddu Palace, and their reggae playlist are number one for chill evenings in Bundi. Plan wide for the palate It overlooks the city. From some high windows, the view over the blue roofs of Bundi is splendid. Even more at sunset. The old Bundi Palace, unoccupied and not really maintained, strikes with its raw beauty. Upon entering through the huge door, the visitor is immersed in an atmosphere combining nature and history. And the walk can last for hours getting lost in the halls of the palace. Don't miss the abandoned tanks The discoveries continue higher. In the Chitrasala mural gallery first. Then in the strong Taragarh. Abandoned, these ruins leave room for the imagination. Wandering among the crumbling walls, gain height for a panorama of the magnificent Bundi. Above all, push your visit to the water reservoirs. In the middle of the trees, the well is completely natural. Savage. The contrast is striking with those located in the city, filled with waste. View of Bundi Palace from Taragarh Fort Can we enter Chitrasala for free? The subject irritates everyone. In Bundi, two versions oppose each other. In the center, the Chitrasala. A pretty gallery of turquoise murals bordered by a garden. The place is public. And free. Well, it's not that simple. Because the monument is wedged between the palace of Bundi and the strong Taragarh, deprived. And paying. Former properties of the Maharaja, these two buildings were open to the public until his death. But his nephew, the only heir, decided to charge admission... even to the inhabitants of Bundi. No more cricket games on the fort for the local kids. And hello confusion. Because today, a sign posted at the entrance to Bundi Palace reads “ Chitrasala, free entry ”. Certainly, but as you must first enter the palace, it is impossible to avoid payment. So you can then enter the Chitrasala for free. But only after paying. You understood ?

  • Trek des Annapurnas : dormir à Thorung Phedi ou au Thorung High Camp ? | Douzeregardsdumonde

    Avant d’achever votre tour des Annapurnas et de franchir le Thorung La Pass, vous devrez trancher : passer votre dernière nuit à Thorung Phedi ou à Thorung High Camp. On vous donne un coup de main. Trek des Annapurna: is it better to sleep in Thorung Phediou at Thorung High Camp? Before completing your Annapurna tour and crossing the Thorung La Pass, you will have to decide: spend your last night at Thorung Phedi or at Thorung High Camp. We give you a helping hand. If you are well oxygenated: High camp (4,800m altitude) For a few days already, you will be above 3,500m in altitude, ready to cross the Thorung La Pass after your acclimatization. The Thorung High Camp culminates at 4,800m above sea level. If you made a detour by Tilicho Lake during your hike, you will not be afraid and surely willing to sleep so high. We opted for this option after spending the night at Churi Ledar (4,200m). Firstly because it felt good, secondly to cut the elevation in half between Ledar and the Pass (twice 600m instead of 300 and 900), and thirdly because it allows you to leave a little later on the last day. At this point in the hike, it is important to act according to your state of form. The last reason to sleep at the High camp is the panorama then offered to hikers. After reaching the camp, having had your fill of some dumplings and warmed up with a ginger-honey-lemon tea, climb to the adjacent summit. To make you a little acclimatization before the climb the next day. But above all to access a magnificent panorama of the Annapurnas. Enjoy it, you will say goodbye to this valley the next day. To avoid MAM (acute mountain sickness), we advise you to talk a lot with your co-hikers. Do not hesitate, in case of fatigue, shortness of breath, headache, to warn your companions that you would like to slow down. It is necessary to watch out for the warning signs as much as possible in order not to suffer from MAM and to make the most of the hike. Everyone reacts differently depending on the altitude and every hiker can suffer from MAM, even if it has never happened to them. We therefore advise you to stay hydrated, to avoid sweating, to avoid being out of breath (this means that you are managing your effort well) and, once again, not to hesitate to warn other people at the slightest doubt. MMA If you dread the MAM: Phedi (4,500m) View from High Camp Again, the decision to sleep at Phedi or High camp depends on your fitness level. If you're worried about sleeping less at high altitude or getting a few headaches, spend the night in Thorung Phedi. The camp has several rooms and, arriving early enough from Ledar, you will be sure to have a bed to spend the night. In order to prepare for the next day's ascent to the Pass, you can take advantage of your afternoon to complete part of the climb to the High Camp. The next day, you'll have to climb more than if you left High Camp, but you'll be climbing in the dark so you won't see anything! Sleep in Phedi and then in High Camp? Bad idea In our opinion, there is no point in cutting your effort in half and sleeping in both Phedi and High Camp. Firstly because, it must be admitted, we do not spend the best nights at altitude. Doing you a night at 4,500 then a night at 4,800 is therefore not the best idea. Then because you will be very close to the end of the hike and will want to finally cross this Thorung La Pass. Getting frustrated by spreading this effort out over two days can turn into a downturn in morale. Finally, it is important to insist once more here, if you have such doubts about your ability to cross the Pass, it may be a sign that it is better to stop there. Without being alarmist, you must nevertheless listen to your body and, in case of doubt, do not hesitate to go down even if you do not cross the Pass. If you decide to sleep at Thorung High Camp, try to arrive as early as possible as places are limited. This will save you from having to sleep in the common rooms, as is also recommended forTilicho Lake .

  • Afrique du Sud : Pourquoi la Wild Card vaut le coup ? | Douzeregardsdumonde

    Vite remboursée, la Wild Card permet de bien économiser en Afrique du Sud. Et elle vous réservera de jolies découvertes. Why is the Wild Card worth it? Reimbursed very quickly, the Wild Card can allow you to save a lot of money in South Africa. And, in addition, it will surely reserve some unforeseen discoveries for you. As a reward, we crossed the Golden Gate National Park (the photo is just above), nestled on the border with Lesotho. Luckily, the Wild Card allowed access. Not in the initial program ofour journey in South Africa , this superb park where you quickly gain height was finally one of our favorites. The temptations are many.Kruger Park , necessarily. The Addo Elephant National Park, then. Andthe Garden Route , Of course. In South Africa, nature parks are everywhere. And, to save money, the Wild Card will be your best friend. The stunning heights of Golden Gate National Park When booking campsites in Kruger Park, we looked at the benefits of the card. And, in a few days spent at the Kruger plus a hook up to the Addo Elephant National Park, it was more economical to buy it rather than pay the daily entrance fees. You can order it directly on theSouth Africa national parks website or buy it once there. Where to get the Wild Card?

  • Brésil : pourquoi faire étape à Florianópolis ? | Douzeregardsdumonde

    Flanquée entre l’État de Rio et le sud du Brésil, la presqu’île de Florianópolis offre une nature paradisiaque. Why stop in Florianopolis? Flanked between the state of Rio and the south of Brazil, the peninsula of Florianópolis offers a paradisiacal nature. We therefore recommend that you spend 3-4 days there. The choice was a bit arbitrary. Arriving in Florianópolis, we set up our base camp next to the huge Praia do Campeche. It turned out to be quite nice for hiking. Or for a simple stroll on this endless white sand beach. For hiking lovers A few kilometers to the south, it is easy to reach Praia do Matadeiro, in Armação. It then left for a hike of a few hours along the Atlantic coast, in the middle of the vegetation or facing the wind. Very accessible, this walk will take you to the peaceful praia da Lagoinha Leste and its lagoon, offering you superb viewpoints along the way. You can then quietly enjoy the isolation of this little corner of paradise for a picnic or a simple dip session. A must in Florianópolis in our opinion. Dunes and... caipis Further north, the Lagoa do Conceição also offers some hiking trails. Right in the middle of the locals' homes. With a return by ferry possible to the city of the same name if necessary. Not that far, you can also walk on the dunes of Joaquina. But don't leave Lagoa do Conceição without spending a great evening there with caïpi by the water! For the few trips to be made on the peninsula, we opted for Uber. You shouldn't be in a hurry because there are relatively few, but we were able to get around easily thanks to that. How to get around in Florianopolis Why not go to Morretes?

  • À propos | Douze regards du monde

    Douze regards du monde est né en février 2017, après un voyage au Cambodge. De retour en France, on s'est dit qu'on allait partir en tour du monde. Twelve views of the world in a few words Douze regards du monde was born in February 2017, after a trip to Cambodia. Back in France, we thought we were going to go on a world tour. It was a first point, rather important. But we didn't want to go alone. So we decided to create Twelve (like the number of countries on the program) views of the world to share our encounters and our discoveries with as many people as possible. How ? On video, it's always easier to explain. To reach as many people as possible, we therefore decided to mainly make videos on social networks. With several main formats to be found on our Facebook page: Pass your relay, Back to school, Snapweek or even 90". pass your relay Our video format "Pass your relay" is surely the best ambassador of DRDM. The principle is simple: in each country we discuss with people we meet on our way to discover a little piece of their life. At the end of our exchanges, we ask them to participate in "Pass your relay": receive an object from our previous meeting to give a new one and continue sharing! A trip in your satchel To ensure sharing, DRDM also has its young ambassadors! Before leaving, in October 2017, we launched a partnership with two classes of CE1 and CM1-CM2 in the Yvelines. Throughout the year, the children worked on the different countries visited, we chatted on Skype and they even wrote a story about the DRDM mascot, Leyla Miaou! On Facebook, this partnership took shape with "Back to school". The purpose of this format: to give a drawing of one of the students distributed before we left to someone we meet, who then answers several questions about their country ( Who is your head of state?, What is your currency?, What languages are spoken in your country?). The following... Leyla Miaou at Kruger Park (South Africa) After several months of travel, we have prolongé un peu plus l'aventure. On this site this time, just to share our tips and tricks. And, above all, to be able to obtain yours. So that DRDM continues to be a platform for meeting, discovery and sharing.

  • Grande Muraille de Chine : itinéraire | Douzeregardsdumonde

    Mêlant sections restaurées et plus sauvages, la Grande Muraille de Chine permet d’organiser différents parcours à partir de Pékin. En 4 jours, il est possible de passer de section en section avec un programme bien diversifié entre Jinshanling, Gubeikou et Jiankou. Great Wall of China: 4-Day Itinerary Combining restored and wilder sections, the Great Wall of China allows you to organize different routes from Beijing. In 4 days, it is possible to go from section to section with a well diversified program between Jinshanling, Gubeikou and Jiankou. Overnight in Huairou After this good day of hiking, do not linger in Gubeikou. Take bus 25 towards Huairou, where you can spend the night. The Super 8 Hotel is one of the few to accept non-Chinese guests. A double room cost 216 yuan in June 2018. D2: from Huairou to Jiankou Around 11am, take the H25 bus towards Xizhazi (it only runs twice a day according to Lonely). The terminus is located at the end of the village of Xizhazi, the perfect entry point for hikes on the Great Wall. Several hostels offer accommodation and catering. D2: " stairways of paradise " and sunset Once you have dropped off your luggage, head over the Jiankou Wall (officially closed to the public) via the bridge located 200 m from the bus terminus. In a marvelous setting, walk west to the " stairs of paradise " for a bit of exercise. Then extend a few turns furtherfor a beautiful sunset . For the return, it is possible to reach the village of Xizhazi by going down the " stairs of paradise ". Xizhazi - "Stairs of paradise: 1h30 walk D4: from Jiankou to Mutianyu On the last day, leave Jiankou early enough to reach the Mutianyu portion. The degrees of incline are pretty tough on this section, until you reach the “Corne de boeuf ”. The continuation takes the form of a long descent to the section of Mutianyu, where it seems complicated to dodge the payment of the entry ticket (40 yuans). At tower 10, you can go down to the village of Mutianyu where a minibus can take you to Huairou, the last stop before Beijing. A last trip on the 916 bus will complete these 4 magnificent days on the Wall. Jiankou - Pointed North Tour: 1h Sharp North Tower - Ox Horn: 20 minutes Ox horn - Round 10: 1h D1: start at Jinshanling East Badaling, Mutianyu, and now Simatai. It will be no. For 4 days of hiking on the Great Wall of China, these three restored and "Disneylandized" sections are to be avoided. The entry point can be at Jinshanling, where you will have to arrive the day before. The next day, the hike starts at Jinshanling East Gate (65 yuan). Be sure to walk around to the two easternmost towers. Unrestored, they overlook the Simatai wall in a magnificent setting. Unfortunately, a guard posted in the corner will forbid you to go further. D1: from Jinshanling to Gubeikou Do not delay too much on the restored parts. Around the Jinshanling wall, the landscapes are magnificent but you will quickly have to slalom between the tourists disembarking from the cable car. So continue your walk on the Wall towards the West. A 5-6 hour walk awaits you to Gubeikou. You will surely be alone, walking along the wall on a section surrounding a military camp, strolling on the " dragon enroulé " and noticing the change in the surrounding landscape , very green then very dry. Jinshanling - Gubeikou : 5-6h walk J3 : de « l'aigle prenant son envol » à « Beijing Knot » For this whole day on the Great Wall, maps.me will be your best friend. In the early morning, do the reverse of the way back from the day before. Once at " escalators of paradise ", continue your discovery to the West via " l'aigle nid 915cc78 -5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_”. On these partly restored portions of the Wall, it will sometimes be necessary to leave the building to walk along it for several tens of meters. This somewhat physical hike can end at “ Beijing Knot ”, dominating the surroundings and once again offering a splendid view. If time permits, you have two options. Prolonger de « Beijing Knot » jusqu'à « la Tour aux neuf yeux » ou alors walk the short section from your entry point on the Wall on day 1 to the point called “ Jiankou ” on maps.me , a kind of notch wedged between two vertiginous staircases. « Escaliers du paradis » - « Beijing Knot » : 1h15 Jiankou - 38 pedaling: 45 minutes Little tricks - On the hike between Jinshanling and Gubeikou, the most beautiful landscapes are on the side of Jinshanling (even if everything is a matter of taste). If you find a way to reach Huairou as easily from Jinshanling as from Gubeikou, we would therefore advise you to reverse the first part of the hike. A good way, in addition, to end up with the two superb towers more “ authentiques” towards Simatai West. - It may seem obvious but we really saw the difference, try if possible to hike on the Wall during the week! You will really feel like you have it all to yourself. How to get from Yangshuo to Zhangjiajie How to get from Yangshuo to Zhangjiajie Zhangjiajie Park: which itinerary for 1, 2 or 4 days?
