Adventure travel - ASIA
 Asia is the world's largest and most populous continent. It covers
8.6% of the Earth's total surface area (or 29.4% of its land area) and, with
almost 4 billion people, it contains more than 60% of the world's current human
population.
Chiefly in the eastern and northern hemispheres, Asia is traditionally defined
as part of the landmass of Africa-Eurasia – with the western portion of
the latter occupied by Europe – lying east of the Suez Canal, east of the
Ural Mountains, and south of the Caucasus Mountains and the Caspian
and Black Seas. It is bounded to the east by the Pacific Ocean, to the south
by the Indian Ocean, and to the north by the Arctic Ocean.
Given its size and diversity, Asia – a toponym dating back to classical
antiquity – is more a cultural concept incorporating a number of regions and
peoples than a homogeneous physical entity

hidden behind an almost impenetrable barrier of rugged mountains,
boasting incomparable scenes that make it the most majestic and
imposing ancient site still-standing nowadays.. It has been said
"perhaps there is nothing in the world that resembles it", actually,
for sure, there is nothing in the world that resembles it........

A UNESCO world heritage site in central
India near the Betwa River. On a flat-topped sandstone hill, 90m
above the countryside, stands the best-preserved group of Buddhist
monuments in India. Most noteworthy is the Great Stupa, discovered
in 1818. It was probably begun by the emperor Aœoka in the mid-3rd
century BCE and later enlarged........
