Discover the charm, culture, and cuisine of Ipoh, one of Malaysia’s hidden gems, on this full-day guided tour from Kuala Lumpur. Known for its colonial architecture, cave temples, and delicious food, Ipoh offers a perfect blend of heritage and natural beauty.
Your day begins with a 7:30 AM pickup from your hotel in Kuala Lumpur. Travel comfortably by air-conditioned vehicle on a scenic 2.5-hour drive to Perak.
Your first stop is the stunning Perak Tong Cave Temple, set within a limestone hill. Marvel at its impressive golden Buddha statue, intricate murals, and peaceful gardens. If you’re up for it, climb the staircases inside the cave for panoramic views of the surrounding area.
Next, explore Concubine Lane, Ipoh’s most famous heritage street. Once a residential area for British officers’ companions, this lane is now a bustling strip filled with quirky shops, street art, souvenir stalls, and local snacks — perfect for photos and casual browsing.
At lunchtime, enjoy one of Ipoh’s signature dishes: the famous bean sprout chicken with hor fun noodles, served at a popular local eatery. Known for its smooth rice noodles and crunchy bean sprouts, this dish is a must-try.

In the afternoon, stop at a local kopitiam (coffee shop) to experience Ipoh’s famous white coffee, made from roasted beans with condensed milk — a beloved local tradition.
Before leaving Ipoh, visit the breathtaking Sam Poh Tong, the largest cave temple in the area, surrounded by limestone cliffs, tortoise ponds, and serene gardens. This peaceful spiritual site offers a moment of reflection before your journey back.
