Nugget & The Waterfalls

On: By:
Waterfalls are some of the most spectacular tourist attractions which should be included on everyone's bucket list. Putting together this list felt near impossible as each waterfall has its own unique features and there's so many around the world, but here are some of the top waterfalls around the world. 
PLITVICE LAKES NATIONAL PARK, CROTIA
Plitvice Lakes National Park is Crotia's most popular tourist attraction and I completely understand why. Unlike the other waterfalls featured, Plitvice is made up of sixteen inter-connected crystalline lakes where terrains cascades into each other via beautiful waterfalls. The emerald and turquoise  have been compared to lakes in JuiZhaiGou Valley from Nuggets & The Lakes. What I love about this destination is that the falls are not only popular during the summer, but during the winter as the lush green forests transforms into the most beautiful winter wonderland.

HAVASU FALLS, ARIZONA
Havasu falls is the most spectacular waterfall in the Grand Canyon. The surrounding red rocks and mountains makes the flow of the bright turquoise water so much more beautiful. The waters plunges over 100 feet into the pool and spills into numerous secondary pools and small dams. This amazing tourist destination is only accessible via hiking in the blistering Arizonian sun, but I've read that these falls make the trip worth it and I really hope that's true.

VICTORIA FALLS, ZAMBIA
Found between Zambia and Zimbabwe,Victoria Falls is one of the seven natural wonders of the world creating a view too majestic for words. The combination of its width of 1708m and height of 108m classifies it as the largest sheet of falling water in the world. One of its most amazing feature is the Devil's Pool. During the dry season, the river dries significantly and visitors walk along the edge of the falls to bathe in the ultimate infinity pool. I don't know if my heart will allow me to enjoy a bath on a cliff of death. Take a look at the video below for a 360 degree experience of Victoria Falls.

BIGAR WATERFALL, ROMANIA
Now I don't know why, but this waterfall looks like it's a home to tiny fairies like Tinkerbell, or maybe I just watch to much tv or have an overactive imagination. It just seems a bit magical the way the water flows from a green mossy carpet forming a water veil as countless tiny streams run alongside the body. Bigar waterfall is situated in the territory of Bozovici, Romania. The fat, rounded, apex shape has made it one of the world's most unusually shaped waterfall and is Romania's most popular waterfall.

PONGOUR FALLS, VIETNAM
Pongour Falls is one of the most popular falls in the province and a popular tourist spot. This stunning terraced waterfall is about 40 meters high and 100 meters wide. Water cascades the natural staircases which allows visitors to walk through the falls but if I try to walk...I will fall. The beautiful and poetic scenery has made it a preferred location of locals for romantic meeting and picnics.

These falls are all too uniquely beautiful to pick my favourite. I love the appearance of Plitvice, the contrast of colours of Havasu is so beautiful, Victoria is beyond majestic, Bigor is magical and Pongour...will tempt me to walk on it and I will fall...But I love them all. Comment below and share some waterfalls around the world which has made it to your bucket list!

Nugget & The Blue Holes

By: On:
Looking for an underwater adventure? Blue holes are usually found in shallow coastal areas and the darker the shade of blue, the deeper it goes. The Travel Nugget won't venture into these depths for 2 reasons. Firstly, diving in these places has a prerequisite of logging over 25 dives so an extreme amateur, like the Travel Nugget, can't. Secondly, the mystery of the creatures that lurk in dark, deep waters scare me. GREAT BLUE HOLE, BELIZE The Great Blue Hole of Belize is the most popular blue hole and I have no idea what its appearance reminds me of. It measures over 300 meters across and 124 meters deep. The blue hole rests in the middle of Lighthouse Reef where an island of corals encircles the shallow area, giving it a beautiful turquoise colour. Many visit by boat and aerial tours while the more adventurous opt for skydiving into the waters. I imagine myself screaming at the top of my voice until I touch the water if I ever attempt that one but maybe, just maybe, ...

Nugget & Unorthodox Places

By: On:
I may not exactly want to visit all these places, but their  uniqueness and weirdness deserves them a right to be blogged about by the Travel Nugget. They're definitely places to go to if you're seeking an adventure. GRUNER SEE, AUSTRIA Gruner See or "Green Lake" is a lake found in the village of Styria, Austria. The name originated from the beautiful emerald green colour of the water. However, the pretty colour isn't the main reason why I'm interested in this spot. During the winter, the lake is merely 3 to 7 feet deep and people enjoy the surrounding county park facilities. However, as Spring approaches and the temperature rises, the snow melts away and the water is collected in this emerald basin transforming it into a beautiful version of a snapshot from the 1995 movie, Waterworld. The water level rises to a maximum depth of 39 feet which swallows the park and many scuba divers explore this water-world. Venturing under these waters, the theme song ...
