This category brings together practical how-to guides and clear maps for Asia. Titles range from whole Asia planning atlases to regional collections covering Middle East, North Asia, Central Asia, East Asia, and South East Asia, alongside in-depth country guides for Nepal, India, China, Thailand, and Indonesia.

Content is designed to make planning straightforward: step-by-step itineraries, suggested route options, public transport links, driving notes, border formalities, seasonal advice, and essential tips for accommodations and services. Many guides include concise checklists and packing guidance for typical Asian conditions.

Mapping options include fold-out road maps, topographic sheets for trekking areas, and city maps with transit diagrams. Look for clear scales, contour lines where relevant, GPS grids, and waterproof or tear-resistant finishes that handle frequent use.

For broad planning, whole Asia overviews help compare distances and timings across regions. Regional sets connect routes across the Middle East through South East Asia. When more detail is needed, country titles focus on specifics such as trekking routes in Nepal, rail networks and regional journeys in India, long-distance trails and provincial highlights in China, island hopping in Thailand, and inter-island connections in Indonesia.

Many how-to guides include cultural context and basic language tips to ease everyday logistics, plus notes on safety, local regulations, and responsible travel. Elevation and permit guidance is often highlighted for high-altitude and protected areas.

OutdoorXL offers a wide range of editions, from compact pocket guides for quick reference to detailed map packs for longer routes, so it is simple to choose the level of detail needed for planning and on-the-ground navigation.
