A recent study from the website Forbes & money.co.uk ranks the top 50 most beautiful nations in the world by counting the number of natural wonders present there, including volcanoes, glaciers, coral reefs, and tropical rainforests.
With a natural beauty rating of 7.77 out of 10, Indonesia tops the list as the most stunning location on earth. There are more than 17,000 islands in Indonesia. Additionally, there are nearly 31,000 square miles of coral reef, alive with life, just offshore these islands, much of which may be visited from the well-known province of Bali.
Sumatra, which is covered in tropical forests, Komodo National Park, and Kalimantan are a few additional natural wonders that contributed to Indonesia's ascent to the top of the list (home to an orangutan reserve).
Here the Southeast Asian countries are included in the rankings:
1. Indonesia
17. Philippines
24. Malaysia
38. Thailand
41. Myanmar
This ranking was determined by counting the amount of natural wonders in each place, including volcanoes, glaciers, coral reefs, and tropical rainforests.
According to Sal Haqqi, personal finance editor at money.co.uk, "beauty is ultimately subjective, but it's evident that these countries have a lot to offer visitors, whether you prefer adventure in the mountains or resting by the coast."
One of the most picturesque nations to travel to in the area is the Philippines, which ranks 17th on the list. It boasts of a beautiful environment with rich natural beauty, biodiversity, world-renowned natural wonders, thousands of Islands, the best beaches in the world, and a relaxing environment that makes it one of the most beautiful countries on the continent. This country has a distinctive culture influenced by American, Spanish, and Native influences on the country.
