Cardamom Mountains for the Luxury Camping
The Cardamom Mountains are a seldom-visited corner of Cambodia that now features a very special luxury tented camp: Shinta Mani Wild. Located in Southern Cardamom National Park, this new resort was designed by world-renowned architect Bill Bensley in what he describes as his pièce de résistance. Adorned with animal-print sofas and wooden elephant tables, Shinta Mani Wild is meant to evoke the stately safari stylings of Jackie Onassis circa 1967. Perched high above river rapids so as not to disturb the biodiversity below, Bensley's tented camps allow travelers to engage in unique nature and conservation activities, including trekking through the forest with rangers to uncover poachers' traps and snares. Combined with kayaking, Tenkara fly-fishing, and sessions with botanists, the Shinta Mani Wild is a nature destination unto itself, offering five-star Khmer cuisine at The Waterfall Restaurant. For the luxury naturalist, this forest is one of Southeast Asia's most important ecosystems. Read related news now.
Raja Ampat for the Diving
Once a sleepy corner of Indonesia, Raja Ampat's waters are famed the world over for their rich biodiversity. Remote Lands'Cruising in Paradise: Remote Indonesian Islands itinerary offers travelers the opportunity to dive, snorkel, and explore the wrecks and underwater life of this isolated Southeast Asia treasure aboard a luxury phinisi — a traditional Indonesian schooner. Above water, travelers will find the charms of South Waigeo, Raja Ampat's largest island, as well as an active volcano on the shores of Halmahera. Throughout their journey visitors will find white-sand beaches, whirlwinds of manta rays, and an unrivaled underwater world. Two new cruise options in Raja Ampat for 2020 include the new Aqua Blu from Aqua Expeditions and the ex-safety vessel the Kudanil Explorer. Pricing for Raja Ampat's 12-day itinerary begins at $25,200 per person.
Mergui Archipelago for the Luxury Beach Resorts
The Mergui Archipelago in Myanmar's south is a must-go in 2020 for its high-end resorts, a new feature for this under-appreciated region. Until recently, the only way to see the Mergui Archipelago in luxury was via a private ship, but the Wa Ale Island Resort and Awei Pila Resort mean that luxury travelers can finally dig their feet into the sand and relax. Wa Ale is accessible via a three-hour speedboat ride, and whether it is a gourmet meal, a foray into Lampi Marine National Park, or trekking through the archipelago's jungle trails, Wa Ale Island Resort is a world-class beach resort. Alternatively, Awei Pila is nestled in virgin forests on Pila Island, offering chic, tented villas and eco-friendly design elements aimed at ensuring the archipelago's natural splendor. Remote Lands' Tranquil Island Luxury in Myanmar's Mergui Archipelago itinerary offers opulent accommodation at both resorts as well as options to visit Mergui's local Moken (sea gypsy) fishing village. Pricing for the seven-day itinerary begins at $4,550 per person.
Kyoto for the Aman
Kyoto is a superb destination in every season — be it for the snow, sakura (cherry blossoms), or fall foliage; travelers can meditate with Zen masters, roam the world-famous Golden Temple, wander the ethereal bamboo forest of Arashiyama, or have dinner with a geisha. However, there is a very special reason to visit this ancient capital in 2020: Aman Kyoto. This new resort for the ultra-luxe brand fuses traditional ryokan style with contemporary space and amenities. Hidden at the foot of Kyoto's Hidari Daimonji Mountain, this resort, slated to open in November 2019, features onsen and shinrin-yoku (forest bathing), adding a whole new level of luxury to Japan's most historic city.
Wakhan Valley for the Adventure
The rugged Wakhan Valley region has connected Europe and Asia for centuries. Here, travelers will be introduced to the unique cultures and traditions of the Wakhi people and explore one of Central Asia's last travel frontiers. Hugging the border of Afghanistan, the Wakhan Valley is a truly isolated destination and one of the highlights on Remote Lands' Pamir Highway Road Trip itinerary that begins in Tajikistan's capital of Dushanbe. Along the Pamir Highway, highlights include visiting a Namadgut fortress where guests can stop off to bathe in natural healing hot springs, climb the rocks above Langar to discover ancient petroglyphs, and stargaze in the mountains of Murgab. Pricing for the 13-day itinerary begins at $3,200 per person.
East Coast of Taiwan for the Road Trip
The East Coast of Taiwan is an ideal 2020 destination for a leisurely road trip. With Remote Lands' seven-day Coastal Taiwanese Road Trip journey, travelers will find natural wonders, parks, and monasteries along the Pacific Ocean Road. One of the first stops is Taitung, where visitors can venture to the south link highway with a detour at Kenting National Park, an area known for its white sand beaches, caves, and coral reefs. Along the region's Suhua Highway, travelers can make pitstops at Fugang Fishing Port and the Kavalan whisky distillery. Most impressive along this journey, however, is hiking Taroko Gorge, which undoubtedly features the most incredible scenery in all of Taiwan, including Qingshui Cliff. Pricing for the seven-day itinerary begins at $4,100 per person.
Sri Lanka for the Diversity
The lush, tropical island nation of Sri Lanka, located off the southern tip of India, is a can't-miss Asia travel destination in 2020, particularly for travelers wanting to experience the best of everything in one place. The Remote Lands Historic Sites and Stunning Hikes itinerary, for example, highlights visits to UNESCO World Heritage sites and the exceptional hiking in the highlands. For those more inclined toward nature, Sri Lanka has some of the most fascinating fauna in Asia, including elephants at Udawalawe and sloth bears and leopards in Yala — perhaps best experienced through Remote Lands' A Walk on the Wild Side in Sri Lanka itinerary. After hikes and wildlife safaris, travelers can then move on to wonders of the world like Sigiriya and the Dambulla Caves to round out a holistic journey through one of Asia's most exciting countries. Pricing for the 14-day itinerary begins at $14,000 per person, and pricing for the eight-day itinerary begins at $8,300 per person.

Yakutsk for the Extreme Weather
Known as one of the coldest cities on the planet, the remote Yakutsk of Siberia has one of Earth's most extreme environments. Siberia is slowly but surely becoming an easier destination for travel, but at the moment places like Yakutsk remain far from the tourist trail. Remote Lands recently launched a seven-day Gemstones & Glaciers itinerary that will challenge travelers in any season.

Toraja for Something Different
New flights have recently launched from Makassar, providing much easier access to South Sulawesi and the sometimes strange world of Toraja. Houses that look like a ship's prow, the world's largest statue of Jesus, and tau tau cliffs, put Torajaland on the travel map. Of particular interest to travelers who wander the globe in search of the peculiar are the funerary rites of Toraja. The locals save for months or even years to give their loved ones the best possible journey to the afterlife, sacrificing dozens of animals in a multi-day festival of singing and dancing. Afterward, "tau tau" effigies are made of the deceased and their bodies are interred in hanging coffins on cliffsides. Travelers can experience Toraja culture in the raw with Remote Lands' Ancestral Adventures in South Sulawesi itinerary taking visitors from ancestral sculptures and village visits to beaches and rich Indonesian cuisine. Pricing for this six-day itinerary begins at $1,800 per person.
Teshima & Shodoshima for the Art and Architecture
The Setouchi Triennale has made the islands of the Seto Inland Sea a world-famous destination for art lovers. Contemporary art, architecture, natural beauty — islands like Teshima and Shodoshima are some of the most inspiring art destinations on the planet. In addition to being home to forested mountains and quaint fishing villages, the peaceful island of Teshima boasts countless art-viewing opportunities, including the Teshima Art Museum, a minimalist concrete structure that is intentionally open-aired to allow water and wind through the space. Shodoshima, which translates to "Island of Small Beans", boasts a curated range of 40 artworks spread around the island, with the majority sprinkled around coastal port towns at the southern end. Staying at Naoshima's Benesse House with Remote Lands' Contemporary Art Wonders of Japan itinerary, visitors will voyage across the aquamarine waters of the Seto Inland Sea and explore other islands such as Inujima on a whirlwind art tour. Pricing for this itinerary is available upon request.
