Top Culture Trip Tours in Asia
Dive into the diversity of the world’s largest continent with this selection box of premium adventures by Culture Trip.
Whether you’re lured to Asia by the prospect of tangled tropical jungles, vast deserts, skyscraper-spiked megacities, or majestic mountains (yes, you Himalayas), diversity is on the doorstep in the world’s largest continent. Choosing where to go is no easy task, however. To help you plan your next adventure, we’ve curated the best Culture Trip tours in Asia – from Georgia at the crossroads with Europe to Japan in the Far East.
Georgia and the Caucasus
Treks in the Caucasus Mountains to secluded churches are just the starting point of this nine-day small-group tour, where you’ll explore remote valleys and national parks in lesser-visited Georgia – a country at the crossroads between Europe and Asia. Begin with the bathhouses and breads of the capital of Tbilisi, before visiting the Kakheti countryside to see how wine has been produced in Georgia for thousands of years. Next up, the forests of Lagodekhi National Park, followed by a journey to Stepantsminda for snow-clad mountain peaks and glaciers.
Soulful South Korea
Discover the vibrant cities and scenic landscapes of South Korea on our 10-day trip. Start off in Seoul, where you’ll see the most famous landmarks in the city, sing karaoke and explore the tunnels of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) next to the border with North Korea. Set off for an epic hike in Seoraksan National Park to Ulsanbawi Rock before relaxing at a meditation class in a Buddhist temple. Cycle around Gyeongju, take a Korean cooking class in Busan and sample bibimbap – a popular rice bowl topped with vegetables, meats, an egg, and a sweet and spicy sauce – at its source in Jeonju.
