In commemoration of the International Day of Forests today, 21st March, digital travel platform Agoda revealed its list of the five most popular forest destinations across Asia.
From urban green havens to ancient rainforests, mangroves, and misty mountain woodlands, Asia is home to a diverse array of green canopies for travelers seeking to reconnect with nature.
Whether hiking through tropical jungles, exploring wildlife, or simply soaking in the serene beauty of towering trees, these five forest escapes across Asia offer the perfect setting for a rejuvenating getaway.
Who’s on the list?
The top five were ranked based on searches made on the platform in February 2025.
South Korea’s Seoul Forest Park in Seoul emerged as the most popular forest destination, followed by the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary in Bali, Indonesia, and the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove in Kyoto, Japan in second and third place respectively.
Doi Inthanon National Park in Chiang Mai, Thailand and Kilim Geoforest Park in Langkawi, Malaysia round out the top five in fourth and fifth place.
Agoda’s senior vice-president of supply Andrew Smith said of these destinations: "Forests are nature's sanctuaries, and Agoda is proud to offer travelers opportunities to recharge and reconnect with nature while supporting conservation efforts. Through the Eco Deals program, Agoda donates one US dollar to WWF conservation projects for every booking made on discounted partnering properties. It's a win-win for travelers and the planet, making it even easier to experience breathtaking forest escapes at great value."
