Mind blowing destinations in Asia for adventurous couple?

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea

From India to Indonesia to Fiji...what are the most amazing destinations in Asia & the South Pacific? Young, intrepid, adventurous couple determined to embark on an epic 40 day adventure.

Seeking the ultimate variety of experiences between authentic culture, mysterious ancient places, completely isolated beauty, bustling over-stimulating sensory overload, serene spiritual mind-blowing spiritual expression, pristine nature & wildlife, and the self-destructive absurdity of human conflict & struggle. Think Asian version of “Baraka” meets “Burning Man” meets “Planet Earth” meets “The Killing Fields.”

Where to go???

Definitely Solomon Islands. And for the best adventure, culture etc, spend most of your time in the middle or eastern islands, where tourists rarely go.
My personal favourites are Malaita and the Reef Islands.

Yasur Volcano in Vanuatu is one of the best natural wonders I have seen.
