\"Travel Without Borders\" This magazine is a resourceful read for all your travel needs throughout the Asia Pacific. Each issue will shine the spotlight on a specific region, packed with compelling travel stories, useful travel tips and practical advice to give readers the scoop on the region\'s best-kept-secrets and the best times to go - everything the guidebooks don\'t tell you! You\'ll also gain insights on the land, history, people, culture and festivals. All of these we consider essential for a complete travel experience.

Asia’s festivals can really be summed up in one word: diverse. From east to west, the region boasts a smorgasbord of the weird, the wonderful, and the downright bizarre. But whatever their flavour, festivals offer a fantastic means of immersing oneself in a foreign community’s culture. In keeping with Passport’s mission to equip the modern traveller with a comprehensive guide to Asia, we’ve covered as many bases as possible, with a calendar and listings of some of the festival highlights in the region – and you’re invited.

Journey to Mongolia for the riotous Naadam festival, which gives the Olympics a run for its money in terms of its fierce competitive edge, with three Genghis Khan-approved traditional sports. Visit the Surin Elephant Roundup, which has its origins in Thailand’s royal hunts in the Ayutthaya period. In the Philippines, Easter takes a turn for the queasy as Catholic devotees re-enact the crucifixion in all its gory glory. Take a turn to India for the Pushkar Camel Fair, the largest of its kind in the world, and in Central Asia, get into the spirit of the widespread Nowruz celebrations.

In this annual special travel edition, we invite you to travel through history: Journey in the footsteps of Genghis Khan through the lands from the Mongol Empire with some breathtaking scenery captured in our photo essay. Explore Japan, Thailand and India through their ancient sporting traditions, get inked by a tribal tattoo master, leave your shoes at the door and take a pilgrimage, or join the throng of one of Asia’s many vibrant festivals.

Not everyone knows exactly which countries constitute Central Asia, and fewer people still would ever contemplate going there on holiday. But the "Stans" at Asia's centre – Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan – have a lot more to offer than the casual observer might think. These ex-republics of the now-defunct Soviet Union have a Persian-tinged identity as well as multiethnic and culturally diverse populations. Collectively, they also have some spectacular natural wonders well worth seeing – Tajikistan's amazing Pamir Highway, Kyrgyzstan's beautiful ...

Many travellers' favourite part of Asia – and the world – Southern Asia is a mesmerising and colourful region that has some of the planet's greatest icons (think Everest and the Taj Mahal) and some of it's most mind-blowing landforms (think India's deserts, Bhutan's rocky peaks or Sri Lanka's unspoiled coasts). In this exciting Collector's Edition, sampling just a little of this astonishingly diverse corner of Asia, we find Bhutan's monks in festive spirits, we embark on an epic journey across India and we discover that Nepal offers some surprisingly family-friendly adventures...

Apart from wondering how these people go to the bathroom when they are dressed head to toe in feathers and grass skirts and shells and drums and huge head gear, you also can’t help being in awe. The festivals in Asia are sights to behold. They are colourful, loud, frightening, joyful, rhythmic and hypnotic - simply unforgettable experiences that photography and words cannot describe.

Fun on Wheels with the buzzing from the F1 race still ringing in my ears, this issue of Asian Geographic PASSPORT is aptly all about “Wheels”. When was the last time you took a nice, long drive holiday or hopped on a train that whizzed past beautiful Asian scenery? If you want to get away from it all with the added adrenalin rush, take part in the famous Dakar Rally 2012 (four people perished this year); or escape your nagging husbands by Land Rovering the Silk Road from Venice to Beijing - that’s 20,000 kilometres of stunning scenery both ancient and modern, demanding and serene.

Expats Exploring asia is the new theme and direction for AsiAn Geographic PAssPort. I’m Singaporean but my ancestors were probably some of the earliest expats in the country - the Dutch, Portuguese and British colonialists. Like these historical expats who settled in the region for work, modern day ones travel extensively around Asia for leisure and business. Ladakh, Mongolia and Sabah are a few exciting destinations to explore while Cebu offers a short getaway from big city life. More and more expats are buying their own boats to escape at their leisure to islands and dive sites.

It’s often saId that one has to know the past to understand the present. In the case of Asia, there’s plenty of past to understand – from the glorious dynasties of China to the ancient kingdoms of India. Join us on a whirlwind tour to some of the best ancient and modern icons in Asia, and check out curious sights on an architectural journey in Delhi. We’ll also show you how to live it up in the historic cities of Yangon and Melaka (a.k.a Malacca), and get ready for some love in the Seychelles. Empires and cities may rise and fall, but that need not be the case for your travel memories.

FROM SUN-KISSED BEACHES TO JELLYFISH LAKES, there’s no lack of wet adventures when it comes to Asia. With a total coastline of 62,800 kilometres in Asia – that’s one and a half times the circumference of our planet – you can be sure there’s plenty of sun, sand and surf on offer. In this issue, join us for some watery fun in the Philippines, explore the wild side of a newly peaceful Sri Lanka, and say hello to all kinds of marine creatures in some of the best aquariums in the Asia Pacific.

When you’re in Asia, there are few places as exciting as the local markets. Not only are they a colourful affair – and a photographer’s delight – they’re also great places to experience the local culture. Savour a slice of life with all that browsing, bargaining and buying. There’s also no telling what treasures you might find – a handcrafted carpet, a homemade purse, or even a piece of President Obama in a Mao cap! In this issue there’s a great lineup of some wonderful markets to check out in Asia, as well as glittering souks in the Middle East.
