Most of the Jungles, specifically the tropical rainforests in Asia, are situated in the south and southeast Asia. In fact, the word jungle came to the English language from Hindi. Large and thick Jungles are typical in south Asia regions in places like southern India, Bangladesh, and Siri Lanka.

If we travel a little more to the east into countries like Burma, Vietnam, Cambodia, and then Malaysia and Indonesia, we see even more tropical rainforests.

Jungles are typically found along the equator as these places are hotter and more humid, the perfect environment for thick jungles to grow. Let us look at some of the best jungles to visit in Asia.
