TAR 22 Speculation and Discussion **of Spoilers**
theschnauzers:
I've suggested this possibility pre-season, but if Bali is a good connection point for the following leg(s), Myanmar (Burma) is also a possible location (after all Obama was just there yesterday-today) and he's also been to Thailand and is in Cambodia now.
The fact that they've gone to two legendary places already (Tahiti and Bali, apparently) and a third in a area that stood in for Middle Earth, makes me wonder if more such locations are on the way. Nepal? Shangri La? Any others?

I think this would be a great time to re-use the TAR 19 missing Laos leg (pure SPEC!) and Nov is a lovely time in NEPAL:
for Kathmandu in November
November happens to be the best month for visiting Kathmandu.
The weather and visibility during this month is just perfect for trekking and outdoor activities.
The average daytime temperatures are around 15°C (about 59°F) and it is just the perfect temperature to enjoy hikes and walks around the town without getting sweaty or uncomfortable in the excessive heat that can be experienced at other times of the year.
The chances of rain in November are next to none.
The atmosphere and the environment is also at its best during this period. The whole valley is green and lush due to all the monsoon rain.
Kathmandu in November also receives sunshine for 8 to 9 hours a day.

They tried very hard to pass off Kunming as Tibet the last time they went! The Tibetan costumes, the "Tibetan" prayer wheel...
Which probably means they want to go but face too many logistical problems...
("Shangri-la" is on the way up to Tibet from Kunming. It's a devious marketing ploy.)

This is just soo in coincidence ...
Today, the 20th of November is the anniversary of Puputan Margarana in Bali,
Commemorating the death of Bali's hero Ngurah Rai, which now (and since then) became the official name of Bali's capital International airport in Denpasar (DPS, Ngurah Rai International Airport)
Puputan Margarana is part of Bali's important history that shaped the society, and could be an interesting research ground for the production WRP team if they really chase their schedule to not miss this...

Dutch colonial control expanded across the Indonesian archipelago in the nineteenth century, to become the Dutch East Indies. In Bali, the Dutch used the pretext of eradicating opium smuggling, arms running, plunder of shipwrecks, and slavery to impose their control on Balinese kingdoms....

Puputan
Puputan is a Balinese term that refers to a mass ritual suicide[1] in preference to facing the humiliation of surrender. Notable puputans occurred in 1906 and 1908 when the Balinese were being subjugated by the Dutch...

to make it clear (and really hope it's true, eventhough I just speculate this :P )
this is how the place looks like during the daylight:
From the front view :
From the backyard view :
or you can check out the surrounding of the monument, which I think could be just a perfect place for Fast Forward ;)
