LiMing

Location Overview — LiMing

Yunnan is known to be one of the most fascinating provinces of China, and at Karst Climber we most definitely agree with it; however, we think Yunnan, with its vast landscapes and cultures, is at its best away from the crowds and the beaten paths of mass tourism.

So we have decided for LaoJunShan a national park roughly the size of HongKong, for our programs - It is an area a bit remote and ,because of it, still keeping all of it’s natural charm; the cultural richness, with Bai, Lisu and Pumi cultures dominating the area, give it an extra flavour.

Our programs in Yunnan feature a strong physical challenge, experiences and learning new skills.

With its sandstone and recent development, is makes for the best traditional climbing area in South-East Asia.

With this, we aim at the more mature participants, ready for some physical and cultural adventures.
