Because they wanted to find out an alternative route that would allow to bypass the Middle East Muslim countries, avoid the trade monopole of the spices and other valuable goods held by Venice and Genoa and get directly to trade with Japan, China and other East Asia countries.

What were three reasons why europeans were ready to start exploring for new ways to reach asia?
Products from Asia, such as spices, were of rare variety in Europe and sold for high prices. European nations lacked the ability to reach Asia mostly because the Ottoman Empire was blocking the way and the cape of Africa wasn't very easy to pass, thus, Europeans needed to find a different way. Unreal passages in the New World like the Northwest Passage and the Northeast Passage were said to lead to Asia and the West Indies. Hope I could help. ~ Richard :)
