A group of experts have compiled a list of the top ten adventures for travellers to experience over the coming year.
The jury, which included writers, explorers, tour leaders and other authorities, came up with the ranking on behalf of Adventure Travel Live, an event set to be held in London this month.
At the top of the list is visiting Kanha National Park in India to go tiger tracking on the back of an elephant.
Skiing on the Asahidake mountain in Hokkaido, Japan was ranked second, followed by diving with hammerhead sharks in the Galapagos.
Having an encounter with mountain gorillas in Rwanda was also recommended, along with following the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in Peru.
Other adventures that travellers can take this year include walking the Larapinta Trail in Australia's Northern Territory, hot-air ballooning in Tanzania and riding Russia's Trans-Siberian Railway.
Simon Calder, senior travel editor at the Independent and one of the jury members, said: "Whatever tribulations the economy may deliver, the British spirit of adventure is alive and well.
"Travellers are turning their backs on the beach and going to extremes to satisfy a craving for adrenalin-fuelled experiences."
