North Palawan Escapade
Mekong Discovery TrailNorth Palawan probably remains the Philippines' most preserved area with unspoilt nature and untouched wilderness: emerald forests plunging directly into turquoise waters, sprinkled with white powdery sand beaches, dark cliffs surrounding lagoons.

Northern Laos especially presents many great trekking opportunities. Not only is the terrain very mountainous and largely swathed in forest, it is also home to a dazzling array of highly colourful minority tribal people who still pursue the traditional slash and burn (swidden) farming methods, unchanged for a thousand years.
