Visiting Canada all in one trip is a massive undertaking. Over 5000 Kms separate Toronto in east from Victoria in west (about the same distance separates London and Riyadh, or Tokyo and Calcutta). To drive from one end of the country could take 7-10 days or more (and that assumes you're not stopping to sight see on the way). A flight from Toronto to Vancouver takes over 4 hours. Everything about this country is big & even bigger. When speaking of specific destinations within Canada, it is better to consider its distinct regions.

Atlantic Province is well known for unique accents, the origin of the Acadian culture, outstanding natural beauty (particularly around coastal areas), the historic beauty, and a huge fishing and shipping industry. When one thinks of Quebec, one of the first things is usually 'French'. Quebec is one of the most unique regions in Canada, and for that matter, North America. Canada's largest province by population - Ontario has endless opportunities of things to see and/or do. From Canada's largest metropolis (Toronto) to the national bi-lingual capital (Ottawa) to glitzy Niagara Falls, to the vast wilderness of Northern Ontario and the Great Lakes, Ontario is full of almost everything that represents Canada. Alberta as part of Prairies starts off with rocky terrain and flat farmland, and as one travels westward, eventually ends up at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. The region is rich in geographic variety, from rolling hills to rich canola farm fields to forests rich in diversity to outstanding lakes to rather unique rock formations. British Columbia is one of the most beautiful regions in Canada, both for those who are looking for nature excursions and those who kick it in the city. From the liberal & culturally diverse cities of Vancouver and the bustling downtown & beautiful beaches of Victoria, to Okanagan Valley which is home to wineries, graceful mountains, resorts, and retirement villages, BC is a never-ending experience. Canada's territories reside in the North Provinces. They are some of the most remote regions on Earth, which means plenty of nature to observe. The vast wilderness calls this region home with extremely extraordinary animals and vast landscapes.

My area of expertise is Trip Planning & Budget Travel. I have done a number of Backpacking trips, some with my friends and few on my own. I love to see new places, meet new people & learn everything bout that place. I hate organized tours & package trips, I feel the true essence of travelling lies in experiencing that place with the locals, live like locals. I have covered almost the entire India, and few places ... full info
