Asia

Adventure Travel

From sublime coastlines to snow-capped mountains, rolling landscapes fed by the monsoon rains to frenetic cities fizzling with energy, the landscapes of Asia are mind-bogglingly diverse. Travel options range from the desert ruins and modern malls of the Middle East to the magnificent monuments in South Asia, from the beach bungalows and jungle treks of South-East Asia to the megacities and technology capitals of East Asia. Visitors can explore Malaysia’s steamy jungles, watch ancient festivals in Bhutan, go wildlife-spotting in southern India, wander Japan’s winding alleys and savor its exquisite craft shops, ride horses across the Mongolian steppes, or dodge falling coconuts on remote islands. At the same time, Asia is also a spiritual place infused with the gods of past and present: the ancient spirits of the land and the family, the sacred teachings of Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam. Architectural wonders and sacred spaces abound from the Great Wall of China and the temples of Angkor to lesser-known marvels in Myanmar, Iran and Nepal. Then there’s the food: Tuck into savory curries, gulp down a hearty bowl of ramen, or get adventurous with a local dish from a roadside stall. And the scents, from the joss sticks lit for the omnipresent temples and household shrines to the heavenly aroma of its spices. With its colors, smells, flavors and personalities, Asia is deliciously and endlessly rewarding.
