Destination Profiles
As a region Southeast Asia offers a breathtaking array of exotic experiences. The region's mega-capitals provide endless avenues for shopping, nightlife and urban cultural exploration. Beyond the cities exists some of the world's best locations for scuba diving, mountain biking and trekking.
Thriving Asian metropolises in Bangkok, Jakarta and Manila symbolize the frenetic, 24-hour buzz of capitals across the region. Outside the urban areas traditional Asian life unfolds at the same unhurried pace it has for millennia.
India and China remain the region's two greatest neighbors, as they have since before recorded history. Their influences are pervasive and appear everywhere from the food to the architecture to the religious beliefs. At their most majestic, Hindu and Buddhist influences exported from India tower above the jungles of Cambodia at Angkor Wat, not only the world's largest religious monument but also the world's largest pre-historic civilisation.
Geographically, Southeast Asia possesses some of the planet's most alluring land and seascapes, from the mountains of Malaysia and the beaches of Indonesia to the islands of the Philippines. Each destination offers the potential for active, outdoor pursuits such as Scuba diving, mountain biking, trekking, elephant riding and temple exploration to name but a few.
