7 Highlights from Asia for Culture Lovers
Asia is a popular travel destination for people all over the world. These are a few of its most amazing exploits.
Best Places to Visit in Asia
If you’re picturing quiet time at the Taj Mahal…
Our knowledgeable guides are aware of the ideal time to arrive. The sun glistens on semiprecious stones set into the marble inlaid in the eastern portion of the building, causing it to glow at sunrise.
India has unique mornings, and we enjoy a dawn boat ride along Varanasi’s ghats, where we can see mist rising through the trees. It’s a unique experience to be this close to the sights and sounds of so much Hindu culture.

If you’re feeling reflective at one of the world’s most iconic monasteries…
A destination rich in historical customs, breathtaking mountain views, and lively festivals is the hidden kingdom of Bhutan. However, nothing is more revered than the Tiger’s Nest, or Taktsang Monastery.
Perched 3,000 meters above sea level and constructed in 1692, this location exudes absolute peace. Though Guru Rinpoche may have flown here on the back of a tigress, your reward will require you to ascend numerous steps.

If you’re imagining a lazy day meandering through highland tea plantations…
Go to Nagarmudi, an Indian village, from where you can hike into the Seven Malai Hills through tea plantations. Up here, the temperature is significantly lower, the scenery is breathtaking, and you can sample various teas on the charming homes’ verandas.
An optional visit to a tea museum featuring exquisitely restored vintage machinery is also available.

If you’re fascinated by the history of Vietnam…
The Vietnamese guerrilla army’s main base of operations during the Vietnam War was the extensive network of interconnected tunnels known as the Cu Chi tunnels.
They were used as living quarters, munitions factories, and even a hospital in addition to being secret passageways and supply routes. They demonstrate the people’s inventiveness and serve as a sobering reminder of Vietnam’s past.

If you’ve ever wanted to walk along one of the wonders of the world…
Walking the 5,500-mile Great Wall of China is like traveling back in time, snaking through valleys and mountains into the distance. We travel to the best-preserved sections of Mutianyu Wall, which once protected the imperial tombs and the capital from Mongol invasions. Mutianyu Wall was once the northern barrier.

If you’re dreaming of lazing under a tree as delicate pink petals fall around you…
Whether you’re in the gardens of an old temple or one of Tokyo’s parks, Japan is most charming during the cherry blossom season.

Enthralled by this journey, locals gather everywhere to celebrate the season’s beauty.

If your heart is set on immersing yourself in the Buddhist lifestyle…
Nothing could be more tranquil than spending the night in a Buddhist monastery. Upon entering Haeinsa Temple, one of Korea’s oldest buildings, visitors undergo a transformation, donning simple monks’ garb. Consequently, they have the unique opportunity to meet devoted men who have dedicated their entire lives to prayer and meditation. A welcome ceremony, an opportunity to explore
the stunning temple complex, a vegetarian dinner, and an optional early morning meditation are all included.
