(Before It's News)

n time of New Year’s eve, almost everyone is busy writing down their resolution – but other people are also jotting down their Bucket Lists. In writing a bucket list, you can write down just about anything you want – watch the sunrise on a sandy beach, publish an autobiography, buy aluxury car, travel in Europe, learn how to cook, or learn how to dance Salsa. And then there are bucket list activities that can be too costly for your lifestyle, but you write them down anyway. How expensive can these things be? Read on this list of 10 Most Expensive Bucket List Activities!

Rich Top 10

10- Bhutan trekking

Known as the only Buddhist kingdom in the world, Bhutan has been a preferred location for those wanting to experience nature at a whole new level. Actually, it is also the only country that measures its success not by its happiness quotient. It is the most sought after tourist destination, known for its spectacular monasteries located in mountains, including the Himalayas. Getting into Bhutan alone can be a challenge because the governments limits the number of visitors that could enter. But there are packages offering hiking adventures, cultural adventures, and volunteerism trips. You can even be adopted by local villagers.

9- Tour de France Cycling

If you love biking, probably the first thing you will add on your bucket list is joining the annual Tour de France. Tour de France is where you can either cycle in the event’s routes or just watchthe world’s top riders compete for the top prize. Basically, it is like the Super Bowl in cycling, although more costly. A week-long trip can cost the participant more than $6,000. This trip includes 5 star accommodations, a prime spot on the roadside where you will be watching unobstructed from the crowd, and even a private skybox to watch the race the following day. And, of course, this would not be a trip without the sumptuous meals and the best French champagne!

8- East African Safari adventure

The National Geographic magazine may not always satisfy your needs. If you are looking for an adventure or an off the beaten track experience, there are tour companies that could design an itinerary that will combine fantastic wildlife viewing with activities such as hiking, mountain-climbing, white water rafting, and gorilla trekking in East Africa. These are just a few things that are available beyond the traditional safari experience. There are also unique destinations within East Africa that await your exploration – places that are remote and stunning. If you want to step out of the safari vehicle and experience the country more closely or have meaningful and mutually respectful cultural experiences, check out this website.

7- Travel the World.

If someone told you that there is no such thing as traveling the world, they were lying. In creating your own bucket list why not go all the way by trying to visit every continent in the world? It might seem too hyperbolic, but that is the aim of the list. Visiting each and every continent on the earth and staying in most exotic, splendid locations of the world, using all the best available services in the world like staying everywhere in five star hotel mostly in the most expensive or costliest rooms available, dining in the most expensive restaurants, Aroma therapy to complete body massage in highly expensive spa, travelling in world’s costliest and most luxurious as well as sophisticated cars along with chauffer is another wish item or Bucket list items for billionaires.

6- Throw Tomatoes at La Tomatina

La Tomatina is an hour-long festival in Bunol, Valencia (Spain) where an estimated 150,000 tomatoes (a whopping 90,000lbs of juicy, pasty awesomeness) are flung everywhere and at everyone. The action begins at 11 a.m. sharp and ends an hour later: a water cannon usually signals both. Afterwards, those who’ve experienced La Tomatina claim that dark red covers the entire town square and that tomato juice abounds more plentiful than air. What better way to kick off your bucket list than participate in one of the world’s largest food fights?! Of course if you are in Valencia, you will travel to other places. The entire trip+ the festival will cost you an arm and a leg.

5- Explore Antarctica

Antarctica remains one of the most unexplored continents in the world and a short trip to the South Pole will surely be a lifetime’s adventure. One of the most trusted tour operators in Antarctica is the Polar Explorers, which has been operating guided polar explorations for two decades already with impeccable safety record. Long road out of Eden.
