Description
Bukit Lagi is a long the hill that runs north-south at the west end of Kangar. Like all the climbing in Perlis it is a limestone monolith. Though most of the climbing access in Perlis is easy, Bukit Lagi is even easier to find.
There are 2 main climbing areas here - Gua Cendarwasih (Playground) and Gua Ularsawa (The Python). These two areas have the easiest access you could ask for because they are in a public park, one is basically in a playground. They’re also just a 5-10 minute walk between the two (or a very short drive). Gua Ularwasa has mostly tough climbs, while Gua Cendarwaseh has a few 5’s. Most of the rock climbing lessons are at Gua Cendarwasih.
There is another wall called Jurassic Park that is a little harder to find and there are only 3 routes bolted there (6B, 5C, 5B), this is a good afternoon/evening section - get in touch with the Perlis Climbers if you want to check it out.
Very close to Kangar, food trucks will likely be in the area, or you can go into town by a few minute drive.

Getting There
The Kangar bus station is at the far north end of Bukit Lagi, you can walk from the bus stop 40 minutes to the far south end of the hill along a trail, or you can take a grab to Medan Selera Cenderawasih which is a cafe in the park right next to the climbing. At the entrance of the park there is a playground. Park at the playground and enjoy Wall which is right there. To find Gua Ularwasa, drive down a little farther into the park to the farthest parking lot, and walk a minute or 3 farther. You will cross a bridge, keep walking and find the wall and cave on your right side.
