Sagarmatha National Park
#5 in Best Places to Visit in Asia
This Nepalese national park is famous for housing the behemoth that is Mount Everest. However, it is important to know that Sagarmatha is not just Everest. The park also offers several other sky-high peaks, as well as sweeping valleys, glaciers, deep gorges and incredible wildlife, including snow leopards and red pandas. However, due to Sagarmatha’s high elevation and rocky, steep terrain, a trip here isn’t for the faint of heart.
Hong Kong
#6 in Best Places to Visit in Asia
This former British colony offers an easy introduction to China. The city blends both cultures to create a hub that is Eastern at heart but with roots deeply influenced by the West. You’ll see this in the city’s capitalist culture, which is illustrated by its towering skyscrapers, numerous street markets and thousands of dining options. For unmatched natural beauty, head to one of Hong Kong’s more than 250 outlying islands.
