To experience the best Asia has to offer you need to visit the right places, visiting the wrong might leave with a not so good experience of the continent. On that note, I have put together a list of the best places to visit in the Asian continent.
Bagan, Myanmar
The first on the list is the Bagan, Myanmar. This ancient village is a very peaceful settlement on the banks of the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar. The village stands at 104 square kilometer housing about 2220 Buddhist temples making it one of Asia’s important historical and archeological sites. There are quite several similarities between Bagan, Myanmar and Angkor Wat only that the later as an overwhelming population.
One of the best cruises to try out in Bagan is Sanctuary Retreats. Sanctuary Retreats offers regularly cruise along the Irrawaddy River, around 3 to 11 itineraries daily between the distance of Bagan and Mandalay. Although they do not provide departures between June and July, you can enjoy the cruise all other months.
Komodo Island, Indonesia
Next on the list is the Komodo Island located in Indonesia with a complete resemblance to a scene in Jurassic Park. It houses towering green mountains, and giant, prehistoric-looking reptiles. Part of the highlight of Komodo Island is the chance to see the Komodo dragons and also the world’s largest living lizard.
Best cruise to try in Komodo is Holland America Line and Seabourn. They both offer itineraries services that call at Komodo Island, with several departures all year round.
Halong Bay, Vietnam
The Halong Bay located in the city of Vietnam is a place to visit if you want to see first-hand the mystical ocean “city” with more than 3000 towering limestone islands.

You can also try this on your excursion to the Palawan; do a boat tour on an 8.2-kilometer long Puerto-Princesa Subterranean River and then head to the beach and soak up views and the sun.
