10 Best Budget Travel Destinations In Asia in 2021

Travel doesn’t have to be expensive. Asia is the largest continent on the planet and is incredibly diverse. Summer is the hardest month to visit in Asia because it is one of the wettest months in most tropical destinations and the hottest (and often the rainiest) month in most northern destinations. I am here to tell you that you can visit incredible summer Asian destinations on a budget. Asia is a perfect blend of amazing islands, cities full of history, and stunning nature waiting to be discovered. Let’s explore one of the best budget summer destinations in Asia:

Top 10 Budgetary Summer Destination in Asia

1. Uzbekistan

One of the cheapest Asian destinations to visit in the summer holidays, Uzbekistan is full of architectural beauty. Three of the “Silk Road Cities”: Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva are dotted with Islamic architectural beauties such as mosques, mausoleums, and tombs. We can also see Soviet-era buildings across the country, especially in Tashkent. Not to be missed is the Aral Sea, which was once a huge lake that is now a dry landscape full of rusty boats and old lighthouses.

Things to do: Samarkhand, Registan complex, Vozrozhdeniye Island, Elliq Qala, and Bukhara.

Best Time to Visit

March to June

Exchange Rate

$1 = 10,395.45 Uzbekistani Som

2. Indonesia

Indonesia is actually the only Asian resort island country located in the southern hemisphere (a bit), and as a result, June is actually one of the coolest and drier months. This is good news because Indonesia is almost warm on the Equator and slightly humid every day and every night of the year. One downside is that summer is also one of the busiest months of the year in Indonesia, as the winter break is a very popular destination for tourists especially Australians. Nevertheless, the nicer weather is worth it and it’s still very easy to avoid the Indonesian crowd if you usually avoid Kuta / Legian / Seminyak beach. For those looking for a less crowded and more enjoyable experience, consider staying in Lovina along the north coast or on the nearby island of Lombok.

Things to do: Ubud Monkey Forest, Blanco Renaissance Museum, Saraswati Temple Ubud, Ubud Traditional Art Market, Asia Gajah ‘Elephant Cave’

Best Time to Visit

March to July

3. Turkey

Turkey is known for its fine food, ancient ruins, sandy beaches, and high mountains. In the country, visitors can engage in adventurous activities such as paragliding, rafting, and diving; or relax in one of the many baths and spas; or even doing something else, like putting a hot balloon in Cappadocia that’s is considered as on one top budget summer destination to visit in Asia. 

Things to do: Hagia Sophia, Ephesus, Blue Mosque, Pamukkale, and Cappadocia.

Best Time to Visit

March to June

4. Malaysia

June to August is still the driest period of the year, making Singapore a little less humid and generally more pleasant. This is my personal favorite big country anywhere in Asia as it offers a mix of exotic and modern, with excellent cuisine based on the intersection of Chinese, Indian and Malay options. Aside from the alcohol consumed in the bars, which can be expensive, Malaysia is also a fabulous bargain country. The center is made up of another 4-star hotel that can cost under $ 100 per night for two people. This famous budget summer destination in Asia is a great base for exploring the Malaysian Peninsula, near Penang, the Cameron Highlands, and Malacca.

Things to do: Petronas Twin Towers, Islamic Arts Museum, Langkawi Cable Car, Langkawi Sky Bridge, Menara KL Tower

Best Time to Visit

5. Nepal

 

Surrounded by mountains and the home of Mount Everest, Nepal’s dream of every hiker and hiker comes true. Moreover, Nepal’s traditional architecture, with its palaces, monasteries, temples, and much more, dates back to time. If you love wildlife, there are emerald forests and dense grasslands south of the mountains that are home to exotic animals.

Things to do: Sagarmatha National Park, Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek, Pashupatinath Temple, Pokhara, and Kayaking down River Seti.

Best Time to Visit

April to September

Exchange Rate

6. Singapore

If you want to visit the future, it might be good to look at Singapore first. This ultra-modern country feels utopian in some ways, with clean streets, beautiful architecture, and affordable public transport to name a few. While hotels are very expensive, the food at the famous (and spotless) hawker centers is fantastic promotions. The hit movie Crazy Rich Asians showed it all by visiting a falcon center and visiting Singapore’s most expensive hotels. Singapore is small enough to see in about 3 days and it’s good because hotels and alcohol are quite expensive, but it all seems noticeable. Summer is one better time to visit because there is less rain than in the rest of the year. If you arrive this way, it is probably wise to visit Malaysia on the same route as they are only separated by a bridge.

Things to do: Universal Studios Singapore, Singapore Flyer, Gardens By The Bay, Marina Bay

Best Time to Visit

March to September

Exchange Rate

$1 = 1.34 Singapore Dollar

7. Laos

One of the leaders in Asian ecotourism, Laos is covered with lush forests, hills, and rice fields. The budget destination to visit in Asia during summer vacation has something for everyone nature lovers can relax in the greenery, those looking for excitement can move on or explore the underground caves, and those who want to immerse themselves in the culture can discover the many ancient heritage sites.

8. Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is one of the big and crowded Asian countries that is cheap, despite lacking the charm of the rest of the country. But the good news is that Sri Lanka itself is ideal for a week or three vacations, with plenty of culture and nature to witness in every corner. Unlike most of India in the north, in Sri Lanka, rainfall usually ends in early June, so this is the start of a visit to one of the most favorable times of the year. The coastal towns along the south coast are worth a visit, but the natural attractions of the national parks and inland hills are even better for the first visit.

Things to do: Sigiriya, World’s End Nuwara Eliya, Yala National Park, Galle Face Green, Sinharaja Forest Reserve, etc.

April to August

And in India, you have to take part in different dishes across the country (be it meat-based or vegetarian dishes) along with street food.

10. Thailand

It’s definitely very hot in Thailand, but it’s actually nicer than the warmer months of April and May, so it’s still a good time to visit. Interestingly, the rapid thunderstorms that occur a few afternoons a week bring the temperature here to a more pleasant range. You will notice that the sky turns gray over time to find shelter, so getting around them is surprisingly easy. Even though it is warm and sometimes rainy outside, Thailand is one of the best shopping cities in the world with about a dozen large and elegant shopping malls that come together in the area of Siam Square. Taxis are cheap here as well as the metro system so you can get around comfortably whatever is going on outside.
