Historical Event | Adventure & Conservation
In 2008, the eyes of the region were on Langkawi as it hosted the National Geographic Asia Geopark Race. This high-octane event was not just a test of physical endurance, but a celebration of the island’s newly minted status as a UNESCO Global Geopark. JungleWalla was honored to play a pivotal role in the technical and environmental facilitation of this prestigious race.
The race took participants through some of the most rugged and biologically diverse terrains on the island. From the ancient karst formations of the Kilim mangroves to the steep, rainforest-clad slopes of the mountains, the course was designed to showcase Langkawi's geological heritage. As local nature experts, JungleWalla ensured that while the race was challenging, it remained strictly within the bounds of environmental safety, protecting the fragile ecosystems that make Langkawi a world-class destination.
Collaborating with a global titan like National Geographic Asia solidified JungleWalla’s reputation as the leading authority on Langkawi’s natural landscapes. We provided the logistical support and field expertise necessary to navigate the island’s wild interior, ensuring that the message of conservation was woven into every aspect of the competition. This legacy of expert-led adventure continues to define every tour we operate today.
