South Asia

4.5

Sprawling between the high peaks of the Himalayas and the sunny beaches on the Indian Ocean, South Asia remains one of the world's most densely populated areas. The influence of historical Indian culture is visible throughout the region, but each South Asian country has its own deep cultural roots and something different to offer. Many travelers remember their South Asia vacation by the region's flamboyant festivals, lively bazaars, and spicy cuisines. South Asia is home to hundreds of languages, but thanks to nearly a century of British rule in India you'll be able to get by with English in most tourist destinations. Adventure seekers are particularly drawn to this part of the world by diverse opportunities it offers, ranging from trekking in the Everest to cruising the backwaters of Kerala. South Asia is in Asia.
