What to know before you go

COUNTRIES ON TOUR
Our Asia tours take travelers to Japan, India, and beyond, spanning snow-capped mountains and leafy rainforests. That’s right: India’s a part of Asia—as are Turkey, Jordan, and Israel.

MAJOR CITIES
Megalopolises like Tokyo and Seoul stun in scale and spirit, while gems like the Nepalese capital of Kathmandu bring big-city energy to epic natural surroundings. (It doesn’t get more epic than the Himalayas.)

CULTURAL QUICK TAKE
Whether shown in a Thai wai (a traditional, prayer-like greeting) or a Japanese bow, friendliness and hospitality are integral to the local culture—wherever your Asia trip takes you.

WHAT TO GO FOR
The terraced towers of Angkor Wat. The resplendent heights of Mount Fuji. The floating markets of Bangkok. There’s so much to see, no matter which Asia tour you choose.

UNIQUE EXPERIENCES ON TOUR
Gaze out into North Korea at the DMZ and walk through Fushimi Inari’s mesmerizing orange gates in Kyoto—both on the same Asia tour package.

The Bucket List Trip

Grand Tour of Southeast Asia

Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand—and Laos on the extension? See the glimmering waters of Ha Long Bay, the towering cliffs of the Phi Phi Islands, and more of the continent’s highlights, all on one trip to Asia.

Introducing Asia

Thailand’s white-sand beaches. India’s Bengal tiger refuges. “Asia travel,” and the moments that define it, mean something different depending on where you decide to visit. The one constant: the good times you’ll have.

Your trip to Asia begins here

You could wait for inspiration to strike—or find some with a little help from our team of experts.

Bali or Thailand: Which tropical paradise should you visit?

You’ll find serene beaches, breathtaking temples, and deliciously spiced dishes in both. (Talk about a win-win.)

20 amazing things to do in Japan and why you should go

Sipping sake in its homeland? Marveling at the delicate hues of cherry blossoms? There’s more where that came from.

Why visit Bhutan, one of the happiest places on Earth?

If temples that seemingly teeter atop cliffs isn’t reason enough, the infectious joy of the Bhutanese should do the trick.

Put the “I” in “Asia”

More friends. Less planning. Traveling solo doesn’t have to mean traveling alone—and these tours of Asia help you find community while on the road.

Signature experiences for your memory vault. Why don’t you...

Explore the slopes of Mount Fuji

Step into the Aokigahara Forest, the Narusawa Ice Cave, and more. Try it on our Japan: Kyoto, the Japanese Alps & Tokyo tour.

Try your hand at crafting kimchi

Learn how to make this Korean staple—and take some home as a souvenir. Try it on our South Korea & Japan: Seoul to Tokyo tour.

Visit a Laotian buffalo dairy farm

Interested in a true farm-to-table dinner? Try it on the extension of our Grand Tour of Southeast Asia: Vietnam, Cambodia & Thailand.

Snorkel off the Phi Phi Islands

Kick through the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea. Try it on our Grand Tour of Thailand: Bangkok, Chiang Mai & Phuket.
