If there is something we cannot deny, it is that Asia is fashionable. For many reasons this continent is one of the most chosen for our vacations: mostly economic destinations, flights at very tight prices, exoticism in many cases or very different cultures are just some of the things why Asia is one of the destinations more fashionable. In this case, after our experience traveling through some of them, we leave you a selection of what we believe are some of the 10 best Asian destinations.
1- Sri Lanka
One of the least known countries, but at the same time more fashionable in recent times. With a fairly small extension in relation to other Asian destinations, Sri Lanka is the perfect destination to enjoy a unique culture, dreamlike landscapes, incredible beaches and people that will make you spend unforgettable days.
We recommend a trip of at least two weeks to enjoy most of its most tourist places such as the Cultural Triangle, the Highlands or the southern beaches, where you can relax after an incredible trip to Sri Lanka.
