Nepal is one of the most accessible international trip on this list, but the value goes well beyond the airfare. Kathmandu is a city that pulls you between centuries, as ancient Newari courtyards and wood-carved temples sit a short ride from excellent espresso and bookshops. Outside the city, the choices are staggering. Head to Chitwan for wildlife, Pokhara for the lakes, the high passes for those who want to earn their views.

Malaysia doesn't get enough credit for how much it packs in. Kuala Lumpur is one of Asia's great food cities, with mamak stalls, hawker centres and Bib Gourmand restaurants all within walking distance of each other. Head north and you get the colonial hill stations of Cameron Highlands and the laid-back island pace of Langkawi. Head east and it's a different hue entirely, boasting Borneo, orangutans, and some of the oldest rainforest on the planet. The visa-free window runs until the end of 2026, so there's no better time.
