Where to Digitally De-tox in Asia with Bamboo Travel

BASINGSTOKE, U.K. - Oct. 23, 2025 - PRLog -- In response to a growing number of people looking to switch off from technology on holiday,  Bamboo Travel has created a recommended list of locations, where there is a lack of phone signal or internet connection.

The Togean Islands of Sulawesi: 20 days from £4350 pp

South of the equator in the Gulf of Tomini, the Togeans (https://www.bambootravel.co.uk/holidays-to-indonesia/holidays-to-sulawesi/travel-togean-islands) are an archipelago of around 60 islands and islets located off the coast of Central Sulawesi.  Formed by volcanic activity, the larger islands rise from the seabed to jungle-clad peaks, whilst the smaller islets and rock formations appear to sprout up from the water like mushrooms.  Some islands are inhabited by seven ethnic groups, including the Bajau sea gypsies, and visitors are welcome to the main village, to mix with the locals and get a feel for their way of life.

The Togean Islands feature on the 20-day Adventures in Sulawesi (https://www.bambootravel.co.uk/tours/adventures-in-sulawesi) trip.  From £4350 per person.

Stay in a Buddhist Temple in Korea: 14 days from £4620 pp

Nowhere would a smart phone be less welcome than in a Buddhist Temple (https://www.bambootravel.co.uk/tours-of-south-korea/exper...).  A visit to a temple will typically include tea, drumming, meditation, and a pre-dawn chanting ceremony.  A particular highlight is the simple monastic meals, created from ingredients grown or foraged locally, which are served during the programme.

A a temple stay is one of the best ways to travel back in time and discover one of Korea's most ancient traditions.

A temple stay can be included in most South Korea itineraries, including the 14-day Adventure Korea (https://www.bambootravel.co.uk/tours/adventure-korea). From £4620 per person.

The South Gobi Desert: 14 days from £4590 pp

A third of Mongolia is covered by the Gobi (https://www.bambootravel.co.uk/holidays-to-mongolia/tours-of-the-gobi-desert), a region of extremes with rain only falling once every two or three years, and temperatures reaching over 40 degrees in the summer and plummeting to 40 below during the winter.  The Gobi holds many surprises; it supports a wide variety of wildlife, glaciers remain frozen year-round, and only 3% of the area is covered by dunes – the rest consisting of gravel plains, steep mountains, and green valleys.  Much of the South Gobi is part of the Gurvansaikhan National Park, home to wildlife including gazelle, wild ass, two humped camels, takhi (Mongolian wild horse), antelope and the world's only desert bear.  The combination of its natural history and the fact that the Southern Gobi is one of the world's least developed areas, makes the region many people's highlight of their visit to Mongolia.

One of Bamboo Travel's most popular trips to the country is the 14-day Mongolian Discovery (https://www.bambootravel.co.uk/tours/Mongolian-Discovery).  From £4590 per person.

Bamboo Travel holidays include international flights, all transportation, accommodation, some meals, sightseeing, and guides.
