National Geographic Traveller Magazine

7 November 2024

This month’s issue reveals National Geographic's Best of the World list for 2025. From island-hopping in Stockholm to rock-climbing in India’s Suru Valley, it brings together 25 meaningful travel experiences worth getting excited about. Whether it’s visiting Indigenous communities in Raja Ampat, Indonesia, or supporting the protection of the rare kiwi bird in New Zealand’s far north, Best of the World aims to celebrate the people, places and projects making a positive impact. Elsewhere, we prowl Malaysia's wild corners on the revamped Eastern & Oriental Express; journey into Iceland’s isolated highland interior, where fact and folklore intermingle; meet the creatives conserving the Cook Island’s age-old crafts and traditions; and plan itineraries to experience Central America's Indigenous culture, ancient temples and more.
