Perlis State Park

"Perlis State Park is located along the western border of Perlis, where Peninsular Malaysia meets Thailand"

Perlis State Park is located along the western border of Perlis, where Peninsular Malaysia meets Thailand. The Park is situated on the longest continuous range of limestone hills in the country, called the Nakawan Range which stretches some 36km long. The Nakawan Range has beautiful, heavily forested slopes, sheer cliff faces, streams and extensive cave systems. The Park consists of Mata Ayer Forest Reserve and Wang Mu Forest Reserve with a total area of about 5,000ha.

One unique aspect of the Perlis State Park is that it is the only semi-deciduous forest (which displays marked changes during the dry season, whereby the leaves fall) in the country. The Park's objectives are protection, conservation, research, education and recreation. Some of the major attractions in Perlis State Park includes the various caves such as Gua Kelam and Gua Wang Burma which is located within the 500 year-old Setul limestone formation.

Getting There
From the North-South Expressway, take the Alor Setar Utara exit and follow the signboards to Kangar, using Route 7. Alternatively, you can also exit via Changlun and take the Changlun-Kuala Perlis Highway to Kangar. From Kangar, continue on Route 7 heading towards Padang Besar. About 15 km or so from Kangar, you'll pass Timah-Tasoh lake on the left. Soon after, you'll see a turning on the left with a signboard saying " Gua Kelam 8.5 km". Take the turning and from then onwards head for Kaki Bukit. After about 5-10 minutes, you will reach Kaki Bukit town. From here, turn right and you will be on Route R15. Soon, you will be climbing uphill along a windy road. Keep on this road which will take you to the top of a ridge and down again on the other side. At the bottom of the ridge, at Kampung Wang Kelian, there is a T-junction. Turn right and after about 3km you will see the Park Visitor Centre on your right.
