No matter where you’re interested in traveling, chances are there’s climbing nearby. With steep limestone crags in Spain, alpine peaks in Patagonia, and pumpy tufa climbing in Greece, each climbing destination is as unique as the culture and people that surround it.
Thailand is a traveler’s dream for all sorts of outdoor adventures, and this Southeast Asian country has climbing in spades. Be ready to scoot up limestone cliffs above the Andaman sea at Railey and Tonsai beaches, or head inland to central Thailand for tower climbing and bouldering.
It’s difficult to talk about climbing without mentioning Nepal, home to the world’s tallest mountain. While scaling Everest is too ambitious for most travelers, there are many other mountain climbing expeditions for novice and experienced climbers to get a taste of the alpine environment. Trekking to Everest base camp is a popular option, while other excursions allow you to explore the Annapurna range.
If standing on top of a summit is more your style, Tanzania boasts the tallest peak in Africa. Thousands of visitors tackle the Mt. Kilimanjaro climb every year, and while it is less technical than other alpine climbs, getting to the top is still a serious undertaking.
