New Zealand is probably one of the best country in the world to climb, so it will be a big mistake if I did not put it into this list. Although this is a difficult choice and everyone has a personal opinion, I am still on my favorite choice in Abel Tasman.Walk along the northwest coast of the island of Tasmania, you'll get a pretty flat route and keep giving you views of the sea. However, you can still explore the flora and fauna in the vicinity. Crossing the sea and river,  water flow will make the journey more exciting, but spend your time to sit down and relax on some beaches which are almost virgin and clean along the journey.

Wilson Trail, Hong Kong

Not far from a collection of neon lights and smoke pollution in Hong Kong, there is an interesting route. (Prepare for a face mask if you are sensitive to pollution). You can walk into the New Territories for a long pedestrian paths and scenic, but you also can find a climbing lane on the island of Hong Kong.

Popular choice is the Wilson Trail, along the 87 km route from Stanley Island to Nam Chung in Kowloon Peninsula. This path will be tiring, but you will find beautiful views from the peaks along this route.

Tiger Jumping Gorge, China

If you want a wonderful adventure in China, then go to the Jumping Tiger Gorge, in Yunnan. There, you can climb, looking attractive landscape in one of the deepest river in the world. With a length of 15 km, the gorge is named "Tiger Jumping" because of a legendary tiger once leapt from the edge of the cliff to escape from a hunter. Still, this is not an easy leap, because the closest distance between cliff is 25 meters wide.

The path named "High Line" is a bit cramped, but always awake and have some good rest accommodation. You can also walk closer to the river to feel depth of the valley of the cliff and saw the water, but sometimes these lines can be unstable and less secure. Cliff path is not safe to climb along the rain in the summer.

Overland Track, Australia

Located in the most beautiful area along 65 km of Australia's , Overland Track in Tasmania is a place you must visit if you are in this island. From Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair spread the wonders of nature, and along the road you can see some of the highest mountain in Tasmania and beautiful waterfalls. This path is also very suitable to see the unique ecosystem of the island. Quite challenging but worth when compared it with similar route of this region.

Pamir Mountains, Tajikistan

Tajikistan seems to be a popular destination lately, but it is still difficult to reach this place. Believe it or not, the Pamir Mountains are so beautiful and still virgin.  It offers hiking and walking paths that suitable for all ages. You need a permission (which is not expensive) to access these route. Make sure you bring all necessary equipment and preparations before climb the mountains. Gharm Chasma and Julandee is a great starting point for exploring this area. And the most importan things, Do not forget to bring a camera!

Fuji Mountain - Japan

There are phrases, "You are wise to climb Fuji Mountain once, but you are a fool if climb it twice." Located very close to Tokyo, Mount Fuji looks very big and hard to climb, but the climbers of all ages and experience levels have climbed it without difficulty. The best time to climb this place is at July-August, because that period was the best weather and most snow had melted.
Even so, the route will still be quite muddy, so you should prepared a good boots. Seeing the sunrise at the summit of Mount Fuji is an amazing experience, there's no much place could beat it. To do this, you should begin to climb since the afternoon, the day before. Then stay at the cabins that are available along the road. This is a popular choice, there are many huts that you can stay and the system is very friendly for tourists. Just remember, once you've done, there are still a few hours before your transport back to your accommodation (if staying in Tokyo). And that means you will have a long journey.
