get lost Magazine's Issue 25 has landed, and this one heads straight for the parts of the map that stops your scrolling and leaves you asking WTF?

From tracking snow leopards in Central Asia to swapping Google Maps for a paper compass in Slovenia, to disappearing into Southern Utah and downward dogging on Table Mountain, this issue proves the world's still full of places capable of completely blindsiding you.

Inside Issue 25

Our special section takes us to the 'Stans, seven countries where adventure still slaps you in the face with both hands.

Forget the stereotypes. We're talking Soviet spaceports still launching rockets, singing sand dunes, marble cities shimmering in the desert, forbidden Soviet art collections, snowboarding in Afghanistan, kayaking Pakistan's mighty Indus River, ship graveyards in the middle of nowhere and tracking one of the world's most elusive predators through Kyrgyzstan's mountains. It's Central Asia as you've never seen it before.

Next stop: South Africa. Our Editor discovers that Cape Town isn't just ridiculously photogenic, it's also good at forcing you to slow down. Sunrise yoga atop Table Mountain, coastal Jeep adventures, luxury safari at Kapama Private Game Reserve and moments of complete silence in the African bush combine to create a journey that's as restorative as it is exhilarating.

Next, Editor-at-large Roberto Serrini heads to Slovenia, where he discovers that one of Europe's most underrated countries is best explored on foot. Walking from Ljubljana to Trieste with On Foot Holidays, he trades phone reception for paper maps, winding his way through vineyards, medieval villages and mountain trails that reward curiosity far more than speed.

And finally, Southern Utah, where glamping somehow coexists with near-death experiences. One day you're sleeping beneath a billion stars in a luxury canvas tent, the next you're gripping chains on Angels Landing, tearing across the desert in UTVs and abseiling into narrow slot canyons.

A global adventure, still proudly indie

"The further you get from the obvious, the better travel becomes. This issue is packed with places that challenge assumptions and reward curiosity. Turns out, there's still plenty of the world left to surprise you."
– Kate Gazzard, Editor
