Tempurung Cave (Gua Tempurung) is a cave in Gopeng, Kampar District, Perak, Malaysia, located within the Kinta Valley Geopark. It is popular among spelunkers, or caving enthusiasts. More than 3 km long, it is one of the longest caves in Peninsular Malaysia. Part of it has been developed as a show cave with electric lighting and walkways. A fine river cave, the river passage runs about 1.6 km through the hill. There are three very large chambers and some spectacular stalactites and stalagmites.

Kellie's Castle (sometimes also called Kellie's Folly) is a castle located in Batu Gajah, Kinta District, Perak, Malaysia. The unfinished, ruined mansion, was built by a Scottish planter named William Kellie-Smith. According to differing accounts, it was either a gift for his wife or a home for his son. Kellie's Castle is situated beside the Raya River (Sungai Raya), which is a small creek to the Kinta River.

Kek Lok Tong Cave Temple and Zen Gardens
50 min

The undoubtable beauty of Kek Lok Tong cave temple makes it something of a tourist attraction even in this quieter side of Ipoh. Kek Lok Tong (or Kek Look Tong) is one of the larger temples with a site size at roughly 12 acres

90 min

Gaharu Tea Valley was set up approximately 20 years ago, covering 300 acres of elevated grounds. At one point in time, there were approximately 200,000 Gaharu trees. Also because at that point 90% of the produce was to meet the demands from global markets primarily China, Taiwan, Middle East, China, Japan and Korea. According to stories that revolve around the region, the species that are grown on Gaharu Tea Valley were adapted from Japan and brought over to Malaysia by Gaharu Technologies. In this valley, tourists are able to enjoy expansive views of the Agarwood trees being grown in the area. Breathing in fresh air is just an added perk! Closed Every Tuesday. Require Entrances Fees.

Concubine Lane
30 min

As the name suggests, a famous tycoon gifted this lane to one of his concubines over a hundred years ago. While the area used to be rife with vices, today it is teeming with famous Ipoh eateries and coffee shops, cool cafes, and dessert houses. It has also been given a modern makeover by street artists, who have painted walls murals that capture the area's history. They're great photo spots, too.

Ipoh Railway Station
15 min

The Ipoh railway station is a Malaysian train station located on the south-western side of and named after the capital city of Ipoh, Perak.

Ipoh Town Hall and Old Post Office
15 min

Ipoh Town Hall is one of three colonial era buildings in Ipoh designed by well known British architect Arthur Benison Hubback. The other two, Ipoh High Court and Ipoh Railway Station, are a short distance apart. Ipoh Railway Station is on the opposite side of the road and Ipoh High Court is the building next door.

Masjid Sultan Idris Shah Ke II Ipoh
15 min

The Sultan Idris Shah II Mosque is the state mosque of Perak, Malaysia. It is situated in Ipoh, Perak's capital city, near the Birch Memorial.

Birch Memorial Clock Tower
15 min

The Birch Memorial Clock Tower is a clock tower in Ipoh, Kinta District, Perak, Malaysia. The clock tower was constructed to commemorate James W. W. Birch, the first British Resident of the state of Perak, and was unveiled in 1909 at a cost of $25,000.

Kallumalai Devasthanam
15 min

This is one of the most beautiful temples to visit in Ipoh. Outside of prayer times, the area becomes quiet and deserted, offering a serene spot for quiet reflection and soaking up the views. While there isn’t much that distinguishes this temple, the highlight is the setting against the cliffs. The Guan Yin Dan Ba Xian Tong Buddhist cave temple inside a cave sits next door. Some might not see these temples as must-visit attractions in Ipoh, but anyone with a passion for photography will appreciate the view.

5 star driver

Our driver was Stan , my wife got quite ill on our way to Ipoh. Stan was marvelous, he got online and found us a clinic that was open , rang the clinic to make sure they could see us & came in with us to help explain the problem & stayed with us while she was given an IV drip , and injection & tablets. In the end we canceled the rest of the day & headed back to KL. We could not have had a better , or more sympathetic driver. We would highly recommend him as he went way beyond the job as a driver to make sure we received appropriate care for my wife. We would certainly use him again when we are next in Malaysia. Thank you Stan for everything you did. 👍👍👍❤️

Perfect for the Thoughtful Traveler

I very much enjoyed this private tour. It is a perfect itinerary from KL for those interested in history, culture, and landscapes; there is a little bit to engage everyone's passions. Historic Ipoh was the highlight, but the limestone (Karst) landscapes were also spectacular. My driver and guide, Rudran, was awesome. He is professional, patient, and insightful. It was a pleasure to be able to talk with him all day. I definitely recommend this package.

Indigestive tour

I wanted to go to Ipoh and I applied for a tour. I thought it was a shared tour because of the content, but it was a private tour. We exchanged inquiries about the meeting place, but they didn't say it was private. In the morning we were in a limestone cave and a Gaharti plantation. I thought, what is Gaharti??, but it was incense. It was a bit of a park, but there was only English explanation on the shuttle bus about the processing of Chinxiang tea and medicine, no pamphlets. I didn't have to go. 'I'm sorry. Lunch is not in the Wall Art District, but in Hawkers, a locally-run neighborhood. Our group was used to travelling, so we felt comfortable, but Japanese people who were not used to travelling had quite a high bar. Plus, the stir-fried bean sprouts and chicken rice stir-fry are off. I had no choice but to eat fried rice, noodles and a subtle egg tart. I wanted to eat the specialties while walking around the city in Wall Art Street. No colonial architecture I wanted to visit. My driver and guide was a rough driver. The guide didn't do much, so he probably didn't know Ipoh. I wanted you to guide me to recommended places. If it was a private tour, I would have liked us to ask for it and be flexible. The most annoying thing was that I was a heavy smoker. I also enjoy a little cigarettes, which I can describe as a place with portable ashtrays and ashtrays, but he was smoking cigarette litter, parked on the street without permission over here. I couldn't allow myself not to follow the manners of cigarettes. It was a shame that it was an indigestive tour, but I will think it was for transportation.

Worth a trip

The Ipoh attractions are some 2½ hours' drive north of Kuala Lumour, depending on traffic, and it was a pleasant trip. The attractions were appealing but mostly lacked contextual information and so I had to seek out information.
