Looking for a challenging thing to do with your family during the weekend or school holidays?
Try rock climbing in Gua Damai in Batu Caves.
Check out the video by AlienGoTravel where Team E.T.A went to check this place out a couple of weeks ago with our friends from Tourism Malaysia Selangor and we think that it’s a pretty cool place to spend time with your family.
Gua Damai extreme Park boasts of over 70 over climbing routes which is a place that still less known among the local although it is internationally known among extreme sports enthusiasts. The spacious climbing area has spotlight for night climbing, ample parking area, toilet and children playground.
Gua Damai Extreme Park is also the first and only place in Malaysia where base jumpers can jump at the height of 316 feet from the peak of Gua Damai.
To accomodate base jumping, a special platform is built for the professional base jumpers.
Getting there can be quite tricky if you are not local. Below is a guide on how you can get there:
Getting there:
KTMB commuter: stops at Batu Caves station and take a taxi to Kg Melayu Wira Damai.
Rapidkl: stops at Pinggiran Batu Caves and walks briskly for 20 minutes to the destination.
Car: accessible via Jln Kuching or MRR2 from Kepong or from Hulu Kelang. Duke Highway heading for Gombak would take you to Sri Gombak. Once on the flyover of Sri Gombak, drive straight on Lebuh Utama Sri Gombak until you reach Taman Gombak Permai. Turn left into Jalan Gombak Permai 2 and via Jalan Gombak Permai 3 where there will be an open field that welcomes you into the view of gua Damai.

Such a great experience! Hope can get a try on it next time, thou I’m a bit afraid of it 😛
I’ve been to Gua Damai previously… unfortunately, found out that I am not that fit la. Only climbed up not even midway. I did abseil, though.
This seems fun but it’s too extreme for me. Did you try all the activities?
i dont think i am that brave. i will sit down and wait u down stairs la.
Yeah… I think this is exciting… but wait… I have to think about it carefully…. gulp
This looks so interesting!!! I want to experience it, but the fees is a bit too high for me as a student~~~
You really daring. Maybe I should try it out and experience it myself. Hope I able to make it. Ha ha ha…
