Amazing Asia train journeys for food, scenery, and culture by CNN travel – The appeal of Southeast Asia

All those travel enthusiasts who missed out on opportunities to travel in Asia because of the pandemic should explore the region by train. The jagged peaks, the tropical beaches, and delicious Asian flavours can all be bundled up into one package if you know how to travel the region.

According to a survey done by 2021 Travel Trends, which involved 8,000 travellers, most travellers are now aware of eco-tourism and want to reduce their carbon footprint to the lowest percentage possible. So, for the eco-conscious traveller, a train journey is the most ideal option. To that end, Belmond Eastern and Oriental Express from Bangkok to Singapore has a hint of romance and vintage charm and is fit for royalty. The Seven Stars in Japan, on the other hand, chugs through the most beautiful scenery, and the world-famous Ella Train Journey in Sri Lanka brings forth the beauty of Sri Lanka’s upcountry in the most enchanting manner; this is one of the best things to do in Nuwara Eliya and one reason that Langdale Boutique Hotel by Amaya is packed with nature lovers during the winter season. The Palace on Wheels in Rajasthan, India is another option for travellers with a taste for refined luxuries, and The Vietage in Vietnam is a similar option.
