7. Koh Kong (Cambodia)

Asia is known to have some of the best eco-tourism spots. Amongst one of them is Cambodia, situated in the South East of the continent. Koh Kong borders Thailand and you can find various types of scenery to explore here.

Take your pick from lush blue rivers, thick mangrove forests, stunning islands and beaches, and keep an eye out for endangered animals while you’re at it! The place is so eco-friendly, that you’ll even find green hotels with ease. And of course, adventure activities like trekking are a gem in such locations.

8. Monteverde Cloud Forest (Costa Rica)
