HOW TO GET AROUND ASIA

With so many fascinating cultures, historical sites and incredible landscapes to discover, Asia is the perfect destination to be explored with an expert guide on a private touring holiday or with like-minded travellers on a sociable guided group tour. We also have carefully created family holidays, full of exciting experiences and plenty of beach time.

If you’d like to explore these exciting destinations in other ways, our multi centre Asia holidays are also a great alternative – hopping by air between the major cities and taking advantage of our comprehensive local tours to experience the attractions.

WHERE TO GO IN ASIA

Each country in Asia boasts its own attractions and it's no exaggeration to say each merits a holiday in its own right. Explore the magnificent neon cities and unique cultures as rich as their history across the Far East or discover the delicious traditional cuisines in India and Sri Lanka. Or perhaps relax on the stunning, palm fringed beaches found across South East Asia.

Click on the tiles below for more details on each destination. Alternatively, if you are looking for some inspiration for your Asia holiday, give us a call and speak to one of our expert travel consultants.
Central Asia
Stretching from the Black Sea to China with vast imperial cities, stunning natural wilderness, ancient trading routes, and grand mosques and churches, Central Asia is one of the least travelled regions on the planet.
The Far East
The countries of the eastern rim of Asia pack a serious cultural punch and offer many unique experiences you'll find nowhere else on the planet.
Indian Subcontinent
It may no longer be the Jewel in the Crown but the Indian Subcontinent continues to entrance visitors to this day.
South East Asia
Take a holiday in South East Asia and you will understand why people are drawn back time after time… Stunning, palm-fringed beaches, clear, warm seas, delicious local food and produce, friendly locals and a culture as rich as their history.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT ASIA?

The best time to visit Asia varies by region.

The South and Far East of Asia typically enjoy 3 seasons, these can loosely be defined as hot and dry, cool but dry and rainy, although this can differ substantially between destinations, so the best time to visit is dependent on your planned activities.

For the Indian Subcontinent the months between January and March are ideal, as it can be rather hot or rainy at other times.
