Asia Programs
No region of the world holds greater allure than the mountainous heart of the Asian continent – a vast assemblage including the Himalaya, the Karakoram, the Tien Shan range, and the Pamir “knot”. All fourteen of the world’s 8000-meter peaks are to be found here, as are the diverse, dynamic cultures that gave rise to two of the world’s great religions and the fabled Silk Road.
Elsewhere in Asia, the limestone crags of Vietnam, Thailand, and Laos offer the rewards of sport-climbing; Japan’s north island, Hokkaido, tempts backcountry skiers; and China’s Sichuan province lures adventurers with countless unclimbed peaks. Refine your search using the filters below.
