10 Most Dangerous Countries to Tour

Travelling for need or for pleasure had been an integral part for the human race, since the pre-historic times. While Travellers would take their near and dear ones back to the places they ever liked, they would never return to the dangerous places they ever came across. Ages have passed, lives have changes, society has changed, but their still remains some places in this world , whom you should never be travelling with family (niether alone). Here are a list of 10 countries which are know as the most dangerous places round the Globe, in order of their reputation.

South Africa

South Africa suffers from a high level of violent crime, including rape and murder, although most visits to the country are trouble-free as the majority of cases occur in townships and areas away from tourist destinations. Robberies and car-jackings at gunpoint are increasingly common.

Jamaica

Although Kingston has a reputation for gun crime and violence, most incidents take place in the central residential neighbourhoods which tourists rarely visit. However, visitors should remain vigilant in isolated rural areas and deserted beaches, even in daylight hours.

Sudan

The threat from indiscriminate terrorism is high in Sudan and the humanitarian situation remains grim – more than two million people have been displaced by fighting in Darfur. Banditry is widespread in Dafur, especially in rural areas at night. The Foreign Office advises against all travel to a number of areas, including the Eritrean border.

Thailand

Major political demonstrations and a temporary state of emergency have affected both of Bangkok's airports. The area around Government House and nearby Ratchadamnoen "Nok" Road, including the area around Metropolitan Police headquarters and Parliament should be avoided. Fighting also broke out last month on the Cambodian border at Preah Vihear and tensions remain high. Civil unrest and frequent attacks continue in the southern provinces of Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat and Songkhla – the Foreign Office advises against all but essential travel to these areas.

Colombia

The security situation has improved in recent years, although there remains a risk of kidnapping and terrorism in many parts of the country, particularly rural areas. There is also the threat of land mines; almost 400 people have been killed by land mines this year. Organised crime and drug trafficking remain serious problems and areas of large-scale coca production should be avoided.

Haiti

The Foreign Office advises against all but essential travel to Haiti, due to violent attacks and kidnappings for ransom. Demonstrations over the high price of basic food have frequently turned violent. A recent series of hurricanes have resulted in flooding and substantial loss of life. There is no British Embassy in Haiti and operations at the British Consulate in Port-au-Prince have been suspended since July 2005, due to the security situation.

Eritrea

The country's border areas remain volatile, and all travel close to the borders with Ethiopia and Djibouti should be avoided. There is an "underlying threat from terrorism".

Democratic Republic of Congo

Although there is a low threat of terrorism, the heightened insecurity and lawlessness in DRC makes it a highly unstable country to visit. The Foreign Office advises against all travel to the eastern and northeastern regions, and all but essential travel to the rest of DRC.

Pakistan

There is a high threat of terrorism and sectarian violence throughout the country, and the Foreign Office advises against all travel to areas where there are reports of "military or militant activity". There are regular suicide bombings and attacks on positions of authority and locations frequented by foreign nationals – in September this year a major explosion destroyed the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad, killing more than 50 people and injuring more than 250.

Burundi

The Foreign Office advises against all but essential travel to Burundi, including the capital Bujumbura. Although security has stabilised since the last remaining rebel group signed a cessation of hostilities with the government in May this year, there is a still a threat of ambush. There is no British Embassy in Burundi. There is a high threat of street crime, including robbery at gunpoint, in Bujumbura.
