Perak is known as Darul Ridzuan, the Abode of Grace. There are simply too many great places in the second-largest state in Peninsular Malaysia after Pahang, and third-largest by population after Selangor and Johor. It is where you can find the city of Ipoh, the food paradise that tempts even Singaporeans to make the long […]
Photo credit: Hishgraphics When people think of Perak, the one go-to place would always be Ipoh. I’d disagree. Ipoh has become more commercialised, and getting more and more congested and filled with tourists as time goes by, with mainstream places piling with long queues. So I’d tell them to go to Sitiawan instead. If you’re […]

They are reputed to be between 250 and 350 million years old, with the oldest over 400 million years. There are about 45 outcrops in total and they come in varying shapes and sizes. The […]
Welcome to Royal Belum Rainforest… a 130 million year old rainforest, said to be even older than the Amazon. We love the jungle and usually the best way to enjoy them is by camping, hiking and such. Don’t get us wrong but there are times when you just want a warm bed to land on […]
