So, the three Asian countries mentioned in the list are Indonesia on the 6th place; India – on the 13th and Vietnam that closes the ranking.
With over 17,000 islands it is easy to imagine how strikingly diverse Indonesia can be. From relaxed arty vibe of Bali's Ubud to wild wonders of Borneo, to haotic street life of Jakarta and impressive mount of Borobudur temple Indonesia totally deserves to be considered one of the best destinations for travel.
You either love it or hate it – India does fit to this description quite well. For the first-time visitor it can be overwhelming – noises and aromas, cacophony of colours and number of people. Its centuries old fortresses and castles, rich traditional culture, amazing mix of flavours in each dish make India an unforgettable experience for every traveller.
As far as Vietnam is concerned, it is indeed a treasure box of natural wonders starting from its famous Halong Bay, the UNESCO heritage site and one of the main tourist draws in the country; to Sapa, famous for its amazing rice terraces and colourful tribal culture, also in the north; to the largest cave system in the world, easily accessible from Phong Nha.
