The first Time Out Most Underrated Travel Destinations list is being released today, with the aim of inspiring and enabling people to discover places which pack a punch in terms of food, culture and experiences but are often overlooked by travellers. Time Out – the global media and hospitality company – has curated a 14-strong list of locations around the world, which it feels deserve more attention this year. The global locations on the list include Plymouth in the UK, Burlington (Vermont) in the USA, Gippsland in Australia and Srebrenik in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In number one position is Mongolia, selected as it is much easier to reach and cheaper than people realise and offers a unique nomadic experience with a true feeling of stepping back in time. More than half of the country’s population live in gers (felt-roofed, round structures), which you can stay in and experience the local, traditional way of life. The country has a plethora of landscapes and cultural activities to discover and explore including the Gobi Desert, breathtaking national parks and festivals including Naadam (July 11-13) with horse racing, wrestling and archery; a trip there is truly an other-world escape.  Lake Bacalar is second on the list – an area of outstanding natural beauty on the Yucatán peninsula which is often missed off Mexican itineraries. The 30-mile-long lake close to the border with Belize is known for its seven shades of blue; you can while away your days on its many beaches or take o
