To sightsee:

The Himalayas and Angkor Wat

In terms of the natural world, it has to be the Himalayas. No sight is as inspiring as waking up to a sun rising over 6,000-8,000 metre peaks, turning the snow first pink, then gold, orange and finally pure white, with a background of blue sky so deep you feel as if you're looking out of this world into space. Any of the Himalayan countries can offer this, but Nepal is the most accessible and is probably my favourite.

If we're talking about human achievement, the temple complexes of Angkor Wat take some beating. They may be 'old news' to some, but they're an incredible expression of faith and architectural skill, and these days it's much easier to get to them, stay in relative comfort, and explore in much greater detail than it was only a decade ago.

To relax:
