That's right! From hiking to trekking to lying on the beach, there are lots of backpacking-friendly destinations to choose from. Here are some of them.

Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka may not be on the list for most backpackers, but it’s truly a slice of heaven. You can tour lush green jungles and sun-bathe on the sandy white beaches while listening to the ocean waves crash against the shore. Backpackers spend time hiking mountains and watching sunsets. Moreover, it's also considered a foodie heaven as they have an array of local dishes to offer. Just one bite will tantalize your taste buds and will have you wanting more. The best part is that you won’t have to spend a lot of money as you can get cheap accommodation easily.

New Zealand

For some, it’s the best backpacking destination in the world. New Zealand is a small island with beautiful landscapes. You can meet other people here and explore the local culture. Moreover, you can go trekking in Fiordland, skydive in Queenstown or surf at Raglan. New Zealand is also the place where the movie Lord of The Rings was produced. So if you’re a fan, you should head down the set and explore Bilbo Baggin’s house in the Shire. You won’t be disappointed!

Thailand

From cooking classes to water parks to Muay Tai fights, you can find a variety of things to do when you’re backpacking in Thailand. If you’re going to Chiang Mai, you can visit the ethical elephant sanctuaries. You can also spend a day or two with the hill tribes and learn about their culture and customs. If you're in the mood for sightseeing, you should visit the famous Mount Suthep. You'll find the famous Wat Doi Suthep temple, which has a pilgrimage trail for Buddhists visiting the area.
