Asia

From the tropical islands of the southeast to the deserts of the west, Asia offers unparalleled natural beauty that will surprise you every time you discover it.

Why travel to Asia?

See wild orangutans in the depths of Borneo's jungle and help baby turtles return to Sri Lanka's ocean. Walk through Malaysia's Belum rainforest at dusk and camp like a Bedouin in the dunes of Jordan's Wadi Rum. Discover new flavours on a street food safari in Vietnam and find out why the BBQ in Luang Prabang is the best in the world.

Food

Sushi and dim sum; pho noodles and pad thai; laksa and masala. From Japan to India (and everywhere in between), the cuisines of Asia are known and loved around the world. Of course, nothing compares to the variety of fresh street food in Bangkok.

Culture

The cultures of Asia read like a list of heavyweights. India: the cradle of the world's oldest religion. The Middle East: the birthplace of agriculture, mathematics and writing. China, which gave the world printing and paper.

People

The population of Asia is currently about 4.6 billion people and includes a variety of countries from Turkey to Thailand. The most populous country is China with almost 1.4 billion people, the least populated are the Maldives, Bhutan and Brunei.

Nature

Simply put, Asia has it all. When it comes to mountains, there's nothing better than the almighty Himalayas. For snowy beauty, northern Japan is a fantastic choice. Thailand and the Philippines should be at the top of your list if you crave tropical islands with white sandy beaches.
