Asia is a continent of incredible contrasts, where bustling cities, ancient temples, tropical islands, mountain landscapes, and rich cultures come together to create unforgettable adventures. Whether you’re chasing paradise beaches, sampling world-famous street food, trekking through jungles, or discovering centuries of history, there’s an experience for every type of traveller. From backpacking hotspots to once-in-a-lifetime cultural experiences, Asia is one of the world’s most exciting destinations to explore.
100%! Asia is one of the world’s favourite backpacking regions, with affordable accommodation, cheap eats, easy transport and loads of incredible places to explore.
Thailand, Vietnam, Bali, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, India, Japan and South Korea are all brilliant options for backpackers. Here at Peter Pans, we can help you find the best tour for YOU!
There’s no perfect backpacking timeline! Two weeks can give you a taste of one country, while a month or more gives you time to slow down and explore several destinations.
Many parts of Asia are hugely popular with solo backpackers and have well-established backpacker routes. As anywhere, it’s important to stay aware of your surroundings, look after your belongings and research your destination before you go.
Very! Hostels, group tours, walking tours, pub crawls, cooking classes and organised adventures make it incredibly easy to meet fellow travellers. You might arrive solo, but chances are you won’t stay that way for long!
Keep it light! A comfortable backpack, versatile clothes, walking shoes, swimwear, sunscreen, toiletries, a reusable water bottle and a few basic travel essentials are a good start. You’ll thank yourself later for not packing your entire wardrobe when you’re hauling your bag onto a bus in 35°C heat.
