SOUTH EAST ASIA TOUR – To Leave you Enchanted

SOUTH EAST ASIA TOUR – To Leave you Enchanted

When planning a trip abroad, make sure you plan it well. But remember not to over plan! Your trip to South East Asia should cover Myanmar, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia and Vietnam.
Here is an outline of the countries you can visit or consider when you plan your journey.

MYANMAR

When you reach Myanmar, keep in mind that it’s slightly a task to commute as the roads are not great. What site shouldn’t be missed are Yangon city and Mandalay. Two days should suffice for exploring these places. They have a vibrant street life and a great architectural heritage. The buildings along Strand Road will captivate your attention. The latter is comparatively a smaller city, but has U Bein Bridge and Mahamuni Pagoda that are famous and must be visited. You may spend the next day close to the sky on Mandalay Hill. Go to the InleLake and let the serene air seep into you. Spend two days and devote the next day roaming around the town in the company of water. If you get three more days, go for side trips to Mount Popa and Nyaung Shwe.

CAMBODIA

One week in Cambodia is more than enough as the two main places – Siem Reap and Phnom Penh can be seen along with a few side trips. It is most suitable to visit in between November and January. We are plumping for at least two-day visit to Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. For your side trip, Battambang would be the right choice as you would get a taste of the village life there and a ride on nori. In case you have good diving skills, rent a motorbike and begin your road journey on the gut-churning stretches.

INDONESIA

Whatever number of days you plan to spend in Indonesia will be less as the place has too much to offer. A trip to Bali is #BestTripGoals as it is beautiful, has rich culture and stunning geography. Plan a trip for two weeks to Bali and start from Ubud and drive to Sideman, a valley, and do a ricefield walk. After four days, drive to Amed and swim with the fish. You may even go for mountain biking. Head to Lovina to watch the dancing dolphins and in the end, visit Bukit peninsula and enjoy some of the most spectacular beaches in the area.
Apart from Bali, you may choose to spend two weeks either in Sumbawa, peculiarly shaped island or Sumba that offers not only gorgeous beaches and waterfalls but also hiking.

LAOS

One of the most enchanting destinations of Asia, the place is best for solo travelers and backpackers. The highlights of Laos are Luang Prabang, spiritual heart of Laos, Vang Vieng, party central, and Don Dhon, Don Dhet and Don Khong islands in 4,000 Islands (say what?).

MALAYSIA

Roam around Malaysia and don’t miss going to Penang, which is the second largest island of Malaysia, Taman Negara National Park, Perhentian Islands which offer water-sports such as snorkeling and diving. The lush-green capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur will give you a taste of a developing nation.

VIETNAM

Enjoy the different culture of the place and visit one of the most beautiful of the colonial Indochinese cities, Hanoi and Vietnam’s largest as well as the most exciting city, Ho Chi Minh City. Enjoy the setting sun at the Phu Quoc Island and visit the historic and delightful town, Hoi An.

Here’s a list of places you can go when you are planning a trip to Southeast Asia. Make a checklist of your belongings and leave for a long vacation.
