Asia is a continent that boasts of diversity and beautiful scenery and has some of the most spectacular train journeys in the world. Through the mists of the mountainous Japanese forest to the tea-infested Sri Lankan hills, rail travelling here is more that a means of transport, it is a sympathetic landscape of nature, culture, and heritage. Both directions are narratives, going through old towns, and scenic shorelines. Be it an adventure, romance, or quietness, these picturesque train journeys redefine travel and provide a distinct experience of the core of the Asian geography and soul.
| Train Route | Country | Highlights | Duration |
| Kandy to Ella | Sri Lanka | Tea plantations, waterfalls, lush valleys | 6 hrs |
| Qinghai–Tibet Railway | China | Himalayan views, highest rail line | 21 hrs |
| Glacier Express (Asia version) | Japan | Mount Fuji, hot springs, countryside | 2 hrs |
| Reunification Express | Vietnam | Coastal cliffs, rural life, cities | 34 hrs |
| Eastern & Oriental Express | Thailand–Malaysia–Singapore | Luxury journey, colonial charm | 2–3 days |
Every trip presents a unique taste of the beauty of the huge Asian continent. The KandyElla ride will take the traveler through the world of emerald, and the Qinghai-Tibet Railway will give the best views of the altitude. The Reunification Express is taking the flavor of Vietnam, between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, and the Eastern and Oriental Express offers absolute luxury with a vintage flavor. These trips will bring memorable culture, nature, and history, but not to mention all that is done through a train window.
