Great places for trekking in Southeast Asia

From volcanic peaks to jungles and rainforests, trekking in Southeast Asia will keep even the most seasoned adventurer happy on the trails. World class hikes in Southeast Asia often lead to stunning views from volcano summits or even isolated beaches where you leave the first and only footprints of the day.

Banaue Rice Terraces, Philippines
Built over 500 years ago by the Ifugao, the Banaue Rice Terraces represent a culture and a way of life little touched by the outside world.

The Ifugao highlanders of the Philippines' Mountain Province carved rice terraces out of the mountains and tended them over generations – the locals are tied to a yearly planting calendar that requires regular sacrifices of livestock, arduous planting and harvesting, and storing the rice in distinctive granaries that also serve as their homes.
Kawah Ijen, Indonesia
From the base camp at Paltuding, a short but challenging three-kilometer trail snakes two miles up a mountain in eastern Java in Indonesia to arrive at an alien looking (and smelling) place: the curiously blue-green crater lake of Kawah Ijen. Getting to the top takes about two hours' hike for the moderately fit. You'll leave early, in the hopes of catching the unique “blue flame” over the crater's sulfur deposits – these can only be seen just before dawn.
MacRitchie Reservoir, Singapore
Don't count out the greenery behind Singapore's futuristic skyline just yet. Despite the main island's small size, generous tracts of reservoir land have been reserved at the peripheries, providing ample space for hikers and nature lovers to play in.

MacRitchie Reservoir Park is one of Singapore's oldest and most accessible nature reserves. Its nature trail consists of multiple boardwalks that cut through the unspoiled tropical rainforest and around the water's edge.
Sapa, Vietnam
Built by the French in 1922 as a mountain retreat from lowland Vietnam's oppressive heat, Sapa's year-round cool climate and amazing views have made it a popular tourist destination. The green rice terraces and unspoiled highland forests serve as the perfect backdrop to an easy hike through the mountains on the way to popular Sapa stops like the Bamboo Forest and Ta Phin Cave.
