Spring is here, so all our thoughts have turned to the great outdoors. Hiking, fishing, kayaking, hitting the beach, camping… If the mere mention of guide ropes and gas stoves has you imagining biting bugs and leaking tents, we have the feature for you.

In issue 42, get lost uncovers some of the most luxurious camping destinations from around the world. In our special section entitled 'Natural Selection', we travel to 25 glamping destinations that allow you to get close to nature while never forgoing creature comforts.

From a pitch high above heritage-protected rice paddies in Bali to a tiny camp on a beach at the edge of the Atacama Desert, there is more than enough inspiration here to have you crying out for a few nights under canvas.

“You probably do get to a stage in your life where you want adventure to come with a great meal and a comfy bed at the end of the day,” says get lost publisher, Justin Jamieson. “It was the safari camps of Africa that first came to grips with blending luxury and 'at one with nature' experiences, but now you can find them all over the world.”

Elsewhere in the issue, we head to a very colourful – some might say, fruity – festival in Nepal, take in Vancouver's bar scene, sail a canal boat through French wine country, leave the modern world behind in Papua New Guinea, take on Indian white water in a bamboo raft and catch some seriously big fish in the Northern Territory.

You'll find all this and more in the new issue of get lost magazine. On sale 2 October from newsagents and online from Apple Newsstand and Amazon.
