Walking & Trekking - Asia and the Pacific

Dwarfed by snow-encrusted mountains and jaw-dropping vistas in every direction, there are endless options to satisfy trekkers of all abilities. In addition, the region’s rich culture is everpresent; you’ll be followed by watchful eyes from stupas draped in prayer flags frayed by the ravages of the wind. Away from the Himalaya the cultural melting pot delivers other delights; try following the zig-zagging path of China’s Great Wall, immerse yourself in local life during a hilltribe trek in Thailand or Vietnam or enjoy friendly welcomes from the people of Burma. For something completely different try New Zealand’s Tongariro Crossing – said to be one of the best day walks in the world.
