Expertise

With Remote Lands you’ll travel with people who have made Asia the solitary focus of their own lifelong adventure.

Remote Lands was founded with a singular mission: to focus exclusively on Asia, avoiding the pitfalls of spreading ourselves too thin and offering generic experiences. The continent of Asia we serve is a contrasting and ever-evolving landscape, ranging from the snow-crowned Southern Caucasus to the low-lying riverlands of Papua New Guinea. It has taken decades of exploring, living, and working here to unearth its hidden depths.

We owe a debt of gratitude to the many friends and partners we’ve made along the way. They have helped enrich our understanding and enabled us to offer what we believe is the finest curation of immersive, authentic, and exceptional travel experiences available on the continent. For those of us at Remote Lands, Asia has become our story, our obsession, and our expertise.
