Asia offers a diverse range of outdoor activities that cater to adventure enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. The continent's vast landscapes, from dense forests and towering mountains to serene lakes and winding rivers, provide endless opportunities for exploration and excitement. Hunting and fishing are popular outdoor pursuits across Asia, attracting sportsmen from around the world. Countries like Mongolia, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan offer thrilling hunting experiences for game such as ibex, argali sheep, and even snow leopards in some regions, where strict conservation rules are in place. In Southeast Asia, hunting often takes a more traditional form, with local communities using time-honored methods to hunt wild boar or deer.

Fishing enthusiasts will find some of the best freshwater and saltwater fishing opportunities in Asia, with places like Thailand, India, and Japan known for their rich fishing grounds. Anglers can target exotic species like the giant Mekong catfish in the rivers of Southeast Asia, the mahseer in India’s Himalayan streams, or the elusive taimen, the world's largest trout, in Mongolia’s pristine waters.

Beyond hunting and fishing, Asia’s outdoor activities include hiking in the Himalayas, wildlife safaris in India, and diving in the coral-rich waters of Indonesia. Whether seeking the thrill of big game hunting or the peacefulness of fly fishing in a remote mountain stream, Asia’s vast and varied landscapes promise a unique and unforgettable outdoor adventure.

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.

This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.

The outfitter handled everything perfectly.

We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.

Thank you,
Stan Masneri

What an amazing experience!

The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!
