Thailand: New Routes In Lampang, Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai’s climbing scene has been growing for the last 15 years thanks to well-developed limestone crags, paths, and scenic caves. And although Crazy Horse -the spot that put Northern Thailand on the map for seasoned climbers- is still closed due to land disputes, Lampang is set to hold the reigns and become a world-class destination.

When 3 years ago the CMRCA (Chiang Mai Rock Climbing Adventures club) began to mark the routes, they realized the potential of growing the sport to serve the local community.

Get in touch with them and book a Lampang Climbing Day Trip catering to climbers of all levels of experience, and learn about their amazing project -families most welcome!

Malaysia: Batu Caves For Newbies And Bukit Takun For Pros

Located just 14 km north of Kuala Lumpur, the Batu Caves are one of Malaysia’s most impressive and iconic attractions. But beyond the mystical beauty awaiting inside the temples, the exterior face of the Batu Caves -together with Bukit Takun- showcase Malaysia’s climbing scene.

With 170 climbing routes easily accessible to choose from, the team at MIR Adventures will lead the experience and show you the how-to at Damai Crag, -a natural wall ideal for folks with zero experience- Nyamuk and/or Bukit Takun -offering more challenging climbs, 40 minutes from Kuala Lumpur.
