Summary
Perlis is the northern most state of Malaysia and shares a border with Thailand. The climbing and limestone cliffs towering over the land are similar to those in Krabi, but with bigger caves and fresher routes (unlike the super polished routes all around Tonsai). There is climbing in mountainous national park in the west of Perlis - the rest of Perlis is flat with gorgeous limestone monoliths scattered through the land. The climbing ranges from easy to crazy hard.
