Near Cameron Highlands
Gua Tempurung 21 km
A limestone cave near Gopeng running more than four kilometres through the hill, one of the longest in Peninsular Malaysia. Its name means coconut shell, after its shape, and walkways and river passages lead deep into its chambers.
Lost World of Tambun 23 km
A 16 hectare theme park and hotel opened in 2004 at Tambun, on the edge of Ipoh, set against limestone cliffs. Water slides and a wave pool share the site with a small zoo and natural hot springs that are open into the night.
Sam Poh Tong 25 km
The oldest and main cave temple of Ipoh, set inside a raw limestone cave about 5 km from the city centre. Mahayana shrines fill the cave, and a pond full of turtles lies in a garden in front of the cliff.
Kellie's Castle 28 km
An unfinished mansion begun by the Scottish planter William Kellie-Smith beside a creek near Batu Gajah. Its brick towers, arches and empty rooms were left half built, and stories differ on whether it was meant for his wife or his son.
Perak Tong 29 km
A Buddhist temple built into a limestone hill just north of Ipoh. Inside the cave, painted murals cover the rock walls around a large seated Buddha, and steep steps lead up through the hill to a viewpoint high on its face.
Ubudiah Mosque 50 km
A small mosque on Bukit Chandan in Perak's royal town, its golden onion dome and slender white minarets standing above the trees. It was built in the early twentieth century under Sultan Idris and is often called one of the loveliest mosques in the country.
Leaning Tower of Teluk Intan 66 km
A pagoda-like clock tower that began as a water tank and has tilted on the soft ground beneath it. It stands 25 metres tall and looks like eight storeys from outside, though inside there are only three, which is why it gets compared to Pisa.
Lenggong Valley 72 km
A green valley of villages and limestone hills between the Bintang and Titiwangsa ranges, listed by UNESCO for its archaeology. Its caves and open sites hold traces of people living here over many thousands of years, including the skeleton known as Perak Man.
