Hi and really hope you can help
We are travelling a trip of a lifetime on a shoe-string budget; we have worked 9-5 in an office for too long and were getting out of here, we want to travel from London to Sydney via Asia. (We presume that an open return would be the best form of flight ticket?)
I know what you’re thinking that Asia is a broad generalisation, but we are in a need of suggestions and help in navigating our amazing trip.
The trip must include the cheapest form of travel, train/bus or sea. Please consider the weather and the best time to travel, including the best destinations in each country.
As a priority these are countries which we want to see, Nepal (including walk to Base Camp), India , Vietnam ( we particularly like this country and want to do Ho Chi Min trail – South to North, if you have seen Top Gear in Vietnam, it’s what has inspired us to do this) , Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, China and Japan.
The following are countries we would consider if you suggest worthwhile; Philippines, Malaysia including Singapore.
We would really appreciate any feedback, advice and help on the matter.
Sorry, I should have given times, we are looking at 12 months, starting April.We dont know where to spend the 12 months though as were not sure what should dictate our route, should attampt to go from left to right on the map, then we need to consider avoiding monsoon season, which is the cheapest route. We dont know how much money to take, at the moment we have £6k and will save more by April.
We are very much outdoor people, with a sense of fun. We love history, nature,beach,mountains,culture,food,diving,hiking,sports,animals. As mentioned in the first post, those are the countries we would like to see, and we are also looking for suggestions on where within each country to go and spend our time, and for how long.
Thanks again and hope this info helps.
