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.

Just you, nature and a strip of land so beautifully cultivated that your challenge of putting that tiny white ball in that little hole is no longer a part of golf, but an adventure. Golf […]
The singular most conspicuous natural objects that are found in abundance in the Kinta Valley are limestone hills and caves. 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 […]
