Bukit Ayer Recreational Forest
Info Photo Gallery User Rating Packages
"An excellent location for picnics, the park also provides a camping ground, car parking facilities and all basic amenities."

Just few kilometres north of the Golf Club and the Snake and Reptile Farm is the Bukit Air Recreational Park.

Cool streams meander through rich tropical forest and waterfalls cascade into rocky pools. Well-defined paths allow easy access through the park where the sights and sounds of tropical rainforest await visitors. An excellent location for picnics, the park also provides a camping ground, car parking facilities and all basic amenities.

It is an ideal location for nature lovers who enjoy jungle trekking, learning about plants and animals and bathing in waterfalls.

Here at the forest, those who prefer to hike can contact the forestry department to follow the trail while those who want to swim can do so at the recreational forest's waterfalls and pools. The forest is also equipped with a camping site and a multi-purpose open area for recreational activities.

Hikers should let the department know of their movement for their own safety as the forest is near the Malaysia-Thailand border. The four km trail ends at the Herb Park. The Park has about 700 spesies of herbs including Tongkat Ali, Kacip Fatimah, Misai Kuching, Cekor, Selasih and Halia.

The 12ha park that was established in 1998 receives some 200 visitors daily during the school holidays.

For those who wish to stay longer at the park, chalets are available at the nearby Putra Bukit Ayer Keroh Resort. The Perlis Tourism Action Council can be contacted at +604 9793 700.
