China and Japan start to enjoy excellent weather conditions with spring in full swing. Himalayan kingdoms of Bhutan and Nepal also offer optimal conditions for trekking whereas the southern regions begin to heat up with the arrival of summer.
Japan takes centre stage in April with the arrival of the famed Sakura (cherry blossom) season. For excellent trekking and breath-taking Himalayan vistas, head to Bhutan, as the visibility is fantastic, and you can enjoy beautiful rhododendrons and orchids. If you are looking for a safari experience without the crowds, April is an excellent time to go on a tiger safari in India or to look for orangutans in the jungles of Borneo. Sri Lanka and Maldives are excellent for family-friendly holidays over Easter.
Experience one of Asia’s finest safari experiences in the ancient rainforests of Sabah in Borneo looking for unique wildlife including orangutans, proboscis monkeys and pygmy elephants. Also visit Gaya Island just off the coast of Kota Kinabalu for superb beaches, snorkeling and kayaking.
