Asia travel itineraries
6 free day-by-day plans for asia, each with realistic budgets, transport notes and the best months to go.
Japan in 7 Days
One week is enough for two cities and one detour. This plan uses Tokyo and Kyoto as bases with a night in Hakone between them, so you unpack three times instead of six.
Days · 7
Best time · Late March–May and October–November
Budget · £120–£180 / $150–$220 per person per day
Thailand in 10 Days
Ten days splits cleanly into three: two nights Bangkok, three nights Chiang Mai, four nights on an island, one travel day absorbed.
Days · 10
Best time · November–February
Budget · £45–£90 / $55–$115 per person per day
Vietnam in 12 Days
Vietnam is long. Twelve days works if you fly the two big hops and stay put in three places rather than chasing every stop on the map.
Days · 12
Best time · North: October–April. Central and south: December–April.
Budget · £40–£75 / $50–$95 per person per day
Bali in 10 Days
Bali is small enough to see several sides in ten days. Base yourself in three places: Ubud for culture and jungle, Uluwatu for surf and sunsets, and one night on Nusa Penida for the dramatic coast.
Days · 10
Best time · April–October (dry season)
Budget · £50–£100 / $65–$125 per person per day
Philippines in 12 Days
The Philippines is about islands. Twelve days lets you do three island groups if you accept that every move costs half a day. Palawan for lagoons, Cebu for culture and canyoneering, Siargao for surf and a slower pace.
Days · 12
Best time · December–May
Budget · £45–£90 / $55–$115 per person per day
South Korea in 7 Days
Korea is compact and fast. Seven days covers Seoul's neighbourhoods, Busan's coast and one traditional village without feeling like a march.
Days · 7
Best time · April–May and September–November
Budget · £70–£120 / $90–$150 per person per day
