Top 10 Extreme Vacations

Mountain Climbing

As the holy grail of mountain climbing, the legend of Mount Everest looms large in travelers' minds, and with good reason: risking passage through the "death zone" (which takes lives every year) and reaching the summit is the achievement of a lifetime. If you're an accomplished climber, Adventure Consultants offers summit expeditions from Nepal that will set you back about $60,000 and come with no guarantees of summiting.

Low-Adrenaline Alternative: If you've just got to see Everest but don't want to risk your life (or spend your life savings to do it), entirely doable (and more affordable) trips to base camp – complete with spectacular views – are available from KE Adventure Travel for about $2,300.
