Ipoh Tour

Ipoh, the capital city of Perak, is situated by the Kinta River, approximately 180 km north of Kuala Lumpur and 123 km southeast of George Town, Penang. Originally a small village, Ipoh grew rapidly in the 1880s after vast tin deposits were discovered nearby, becoming the second largest town in the Federated Malay States by 1895. Though declared a city in 1988, Ipoh faced decline following the depletion of its tin resources and the collapse of tin prices in the 1970s. Recently, the city’s popularity has surged as an international tourist destination, thanks to efforts preserving its British colonial-era architecture. Known for its clean streets, Ipoh boasts stunning natural attractions like limestone hills and caves housing Buddhist temples. It has also earned the nickname “Hipster Capital of Malaysia.” This tour includes visits to famous limestone caves, the Ipoh Old Railway Station, Kellie’s Castle, and Concubine Street, with an opportunity to enjoy local Ipoh cuisine in Old Town at your own expense, featuring specialties like chicken rice, dim sum, taro puff, egg tarts, and the famous Ipoh white coffee.
