Itinerary

Stop 1

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.

Stop 2

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.

Stop 4

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!

Stop 5

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.

Stop 10

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.
