Asia is the world's largest continent, 17,139,000 sq mi (44,390,000 sq km), with about 3.3 billion people, nearly three fifths of the world's total population. The South East part of Asia has always provided a variety of poplular holiday destinations especially with backpackers.
Asia's great expanse from the equatorial tropics to the arctic (6,000 miles; 9,650 kilometers) and from the Pacific Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea (5,900 miles; 9,500 kilometers) results in a continent of extreme contrasts. Asia contains virtually every kind of natural landscape. Roughly half the continent consists of highlands, and about 8 percent is more than 10,000 feet (3,000 meters) above sea level.
