Asia, the largest continent, offers a vast range of travel experiences, from ancient cultural sites to stunning natural landscapes. Northern Asia is known for its remote wilderness and extreme climates. Central Asia, once a hub of the Silk Road, features historic trade routes and rugged mountains. Eastern Asia blends modern megacities with ancient traditions, while South Asia is rich in spiritual heritage, bustling markets, and diverse landscapes. Southeast Asia boasts tropical beaches, dense jungles, and vibrant cultures, while Western Asia, home to the Middle East, is known for its ancient civilizations, desert landscapes, and bustling bazaars.
For this challenge, you need to find at least 7 caches in any country in Asia. You may be wondering why 7? Well there are 7 continents, so this seems like a fitting number to use.
For simplicity, since Turkey and Russia span two continents, any finds in these countries will be considered part of Asia for this challenge. For example, if you find a cache on the European side of the Bosphorus Strait, it will still count as being in Asia, as it is located in Turkey. These are just two instances where a country is located across multiple continents, and the 7 caches can be in any country within Asia. The list of countries in Asia is:
- Afghanistan
- Armenia
- Azerbaijan
- Bahrain
- Bangladesh
