Know Which Door You're Walking Into

Welcome to Kuala Lumpur. With the main exhibition taking place at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and satellite events, workshops, and competitions hosted at gyms across the city, getting around efficiently will help you make the most of KL Climbing Week. Use this guide to navigate transit, plan your travel time, and move seamlessly between venues.

⚠️ Check your workshop's actual location. Some sessions are hosted at partner locations elsewhere in the city. Always confirm the venue on your specific workshop ticket or confirmation email before you travel. ⚠️

Moving Through The Klang Valley

KL's e-hailing apps are the easiest way between venues, hotels, and food. Rail covers the rest if you're planning ahead.

E-hailing

Grab, Bolt, and InDrive all operate throughout the Klang Valley (KL and Selangor). They offer the most convenient way to travel between KLCC and partner gyms like Camp5. Fares are calculated directly in-app, so there is no need to negotiate rates.

Train - LRT, MRT, KTM

Tap in with a contactless bank card at LRT and MRT stations. Use the LRT Kelana Jaya Line or MRT Putrajaya Line to drop directly at KLCC. For Camp5 1Utama, take the MRT Kajang Line directly to the Bandar Utama station.

Airport Transfers

KLIA connects directly to the city center via the KLIA Ekspres train to KL Sentral, or by taxi and e-hailing. Subang Airport (SZB) is closer if you are flying in on a regional carrier. Both airports sit outside the central area, so plan your ground transfer in advance.

⚠️ Be cautious of anyone offering unofficial "taxi" services at the airport or offering to "help" book a ride on your phone, stick to the apps above or the official KLIA Express kiosk. ⚠️

Pick A Base Near
Your Side Of Town

Staying near your main venue cuts down on daily travel time. The city center is the ideal middle ground if you are splitting time across venues.

Near KLCC, city centre and Camp5 Ombak

Bukit Bintang & KLCC

Ideal if you want to stay within walking distance of the central exhibition at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. You will have direct access to transit, dining, and nightlife.

Near Camp5 KL Eco City & Bangsar

Mid Valley & KL Eco City

A convenient option if you are spending time at Camp5 KL Eco City. Connected directly to Mid Valley Megamall, this area sits just two train stops from KL Sentral for easy city connections.

Near Camp5 1Utama

Bandar Utama & Petaling Jaya

Several hotels sit within walking distance of 1Utama itself. This is the best choice if your focus is primarily on activities based around the Petaling Jaya area.

Refuel Like A Local

KL runs on mamak stalls, hawker stands, and mall food courts that stay open late, perfect for a post-climb appetite.

Mamak Culture

Open-late mamak stalls are a KL staple — roti canai, teh tarik, and conversation well past midnight, found across both sides of the city.
