From Mumbai to Singapore, there are a number of Asian destinations that you don’t want to miss out on. If you are planning a trip to Asia, but unsure of which country (or countries) to visit, then you have come to the right place.
In this blog, we will explore the must-visit Asian destinations that you need to go to, from the intrigue of India all the way to special spots of Singapore! Let’s dive right in.
India
If you haven’t visited India yet, now is the time to! India boasts a wide range of activities, sights, and of course, food. While the occasional Indian takeaway might sate your cravings for unique and tangy flavours, it can’t get any more authentic than eating in the actual country itself! With many local dishes to try, India is the place to go for culinary delights and speciality cuisine.
India also houses the Taj Mahal, a magnificent mausoleum and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Plus, if you’re interested in spirituality and yoga, you should consider attending a yoga retreat in India – after all, it is thought that yoga originated from this country.
Thailand
Another Asian country to add to your bucket list is Thailand, namely Phuket! While many flock to the capital, Bangkok, Phuket is perfect for beach lovers. In fact, Phuket is the ultimate destination for island hopping all year round, so if you’re looking for a summer adventure, you can’t go wrong with visiting Phuket, Thailand.
From historic temples and glittering waters to the tropical cuisine and breathtaking landscapes, you shouldn’t overlook Phuket. And did we mention the night markets? Night markets in Phuket are a great way to spend your evenings, hosting an incredible collection of local food, souvenirs, and more!
Sri Lanka
When people think about visiting Asia, not many people add Sri Lanka to their itinerary… but, why not? This gorgeous island country has much to offer, ranging from countless beaches and ancient temples and fortresses. There are 8 (yes, 8!) UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Sri Lanka, a grand figure for a country that spans only 65,600 km²! To compare, the total land area of the UK is 243,610 km².
If you’re a history buff, you need to stop simply flying over this country, and actually make it your arrival destination!
Singapore
Singapore is a country, an island, a city, and state, all-in-one. It’s also a popular tourist destination in Asia, with a stunning airport and one-of-a-kind sights. Popular tourist spots such as the Marina Bay Sands complex (which includes the Skypark Observation Deck for amazing views), and Gardens by the Bay offer exceptional sightseeing opportunities.
If a luxurious trip is what you’re after, then Singapore is certainly worth thinking about! Plus, you don’t have to worry too much about miscommunication here – English is spoken commonly across the city.
Oh, and did you know that on the Silver Moon cruise ship, you can embark on a cruise to multiple Asian countries, from India to Singapore? Why visit only one country, when you can visit multiple in one trip?
So, what’re you waiting for?
