From the pretty mountain villages of Myanmar to sophisticated and contemporary Singapore, this is a diverse area occupied by devoutly spiritual people. Here hundreds of ancient temples and working monasteries share spaces with Mosques and churches.
A place defined and moulded by fire and water, here volcanoes pushed land from beneath the ocean’s waters to form some of the seven thousand islands that make up Indonesia. One of the world’s most active volcanoes is in this area. On the continent many of the countries are defined by the mighty waters that run through them, using them for transport, floating bazaars, restaurants and houseboats.
An area of great natural beauty, the mountains are cloaked in tropical rain forests and the long palm-fringed beaches, are ringed by Coral Reefs that teem with tropical fish.
