Riverside destinations have a unique allure that combines natural beauty, cultural richness, and a sense of tranquility. Whether it's the gentle flow of a river reflecting the surrounding landscapes or the vibrant life that thrives along its banks, these destinations offer a perfect blend of relaxation and exploration. Travelers can immerse themselves in local traditions, enjoy scenic boat rides, or simply unwind by the water's edge.

Agoda's list of best-kept riverside destinations in Asia includes:
