Asia, the largest continent in the world holds the largest population of the world. Next to that Mount Everest is situated in this continent which is the highest point on earth, and the lowest point on earth is also situated in Asia.Backpacking in Asia
Asia draws more and more backpackers each year, probably because it is cheap compared with traveling though out the rest of the world. Traveling can be really easy in some countries for example Thailand, and can became a bit more difficult in other countries such as China. From the busy streets packed with backpackers places at khao san road to the quit and remote parts in Tibet for every backpacker there is something going on in Asia. This makes backpacking really interesting in Asia.
So what do you need to know?
Nothing, the best way to really explore it by just going. Of course you what to check out if you need any visa’s, this varies from country to country. Check our forum section about that.
