Asia’s Most Scenic Train Journeys: Exploring Beauty on Rails

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.
