Take me to Bhutan
38 Pins
Take me to Bhutan / Bhutan is an enchanting Buddhist kingdom situated high in the Himalayas between India and China. The country was practically untouched by the outside world until very recently; television and Internet, for example, were only permitted in 1999, and visiting Bhutan can still feel like going back in time and entering another universe.

Take me to Brunei
23 Pins
Take me to Brunei / Brunei is a small nation (375,000 citizens) with a big imprint. It is cut into two slices as the Temburong district to the east is separated from the rest of Brunei. It has perhaps the largest oil fields in all of Southeast Asia and this makes it home to one of the riches rulers on the face of the Planet. At one time, Brunei was a part of an empire that reached as far away as the Philippines between the 1400’s and the 1600’s. Read more at http://www.remotelands.com/destination/brunei
Take me to Cambodia
87 Pins
Take me to Cambodia / The Kingdom of Cambodia has rightfully become a travelers' mecca due to the magnificent cultural heritage of Siem Reap. In addition to Angkor Wat, one of the great man-made wonders of the world, and other remarkable temples throughout the Angkor area, the heart of the country also offers natural marvels like Boeung Tonle Sap, Cambodia’s vast great lake, which sustains a unique culture of floating villages.

Take me to China
196 Pins
Take me to China / China has one of the world’s oldest civilizations, dating back over 6,000 years, but the country is rapidly modernizing and gaining power on the world economic and political stage, and is now only nominally Communist. It is also the world’s most populous country, with over 1.3 billion people – about 1/5 of the earth’s population – and over 100 different ethnic groups.

Take me to Indonesia
145 Pins
Take me to Indonesia / Indonesia, the world’s fourth most populous country and one of the most culturally diverse, is sprawled across more than 17,000 islands with over 300 different ethnicities and dialects.

Take me to Laos
85 Pins
Take me to Laos / Laos is a country of astounding physical beauty, kind-hearted people and compelling cultural heritage. The Buddhist nation is also one of the most undeveloped and least-visited countries in the world — making it quite alluring to the adventurous traveler. Like Cambodia and Vietnam, it was also a French colony, but it has remained much more isolated than the other two countries in the former Indochina.

Take me to Mongolia
55 Pins
Take me to Mongolia / Mongolia is a vast country of stark beauty, extreme weather, and exceedingly warm people.
