With Asia’s countries now largely reopened and welcoming visitors again, the new year is a good time to plan an adventure or two for the months ahead.
Whether you are a biker, hiker, climber or runner, the region has some of the best options available for getting your adventure on – so here are six of our top picks for where to go and what to do in 2023.
Northern Laos
With its borders now fully open for adventure, this is a great destination for independent bike packing and cycle-touring adventures. Fly or travel overland to Luang Prabang and then head north on the “main” road to Pak Mong.
From here, it’s well worth an out and back two or three-day excursion to Nong Khiaw before riding on to Pak Beng.
Next up, cross the Mekong and spend a couple of days riding to Sayabouri (Xayaburi). From here continue over the mountains to Kasi before taking the main road back to Luang Prabang for a wild ride through a region of Laos few ever get to see.
