Wildlife

From orangutans swinging through Borneo’s emerald canopy to snow leopards padding across Himalayan ridgelines, Asia’s wild side is as vast and varied as the continent itself. In this category we spotlight the best places to witness animals in their element: Komodo dragons prowling Indonesia’s savannah islands, elephants bathing in Sri Lanka’s rivers, red-crowned cranes dancing on Japan’s winter marshes, and elusive Bengal tigers stalking the grasslands of India. Alongside location guides and photo essays you’ll find ethical-travel tips, low-impact safari ideas, and conservation success stories—everything you need to swap the zoo for the real thing.
