Resthouses, homestays, and day trips

At COREZONE we believe in sharing information...some call it networking.

Here is a list of recently (and not so recently) developed resthouses, nature resorts, and adventure operators. We have yet to visit them ourselves or use their services specifically, but they are on our list because we've heard some good things about them or they fill a gap in the adventure marketplace.

EARTH CAMP www.nomadadventure.com

The Earth Camp is a laid back campsite situated next to the river and a stone's throw from Gua Tempurung. The Earth Camps hosts a variety of activities run by Nomad Adventure at the heart of Gopeng's whitewater and caving destination.

Known for its unique trea houses, the Earth Camp is built primarily with recycled/re-purposed materials. It is truly the center of experiential adventure for newbies as well as weekend adventure warriors.

Nomad Adventure also runs an extensive rafting operations, as well as a Mountain School which hosts the Pinnacle Adventure High Ropes course, caving and rock climbing activities.
