    Take the NKVE from Kuala Lumpur or Petaling Jaya and head North/"Utara". The signs will tell you that you are heading towards Rawang, Penang & Ipoh. Travelling at approximately 110 km/h (within the speed limit), you will reach Ipoh in about 2 hours.

    The PLUS expressway is in good condition and as you approach Ipoh, you will see the limestone caves on your left and right. There are several exits to Ipoh. The first gets you to Ipoh South and the next takes you to Ipoh North. To get to the Lost World of Tambun, take exit 139.

    The toll from KL to Ipoh is about RM20-30 depending on your entry point. For further details of the toll rates, check out PLUS's website as stated below.

    Ipoh has old town and new town separated by the river.

    One can get lost in Ipoh while driving and so it is good to have a recent detailed downtown map or have a local Ipoh friend or ask instead of driving in circles.

    The city bus is really old-world. When in new Town, it is easier to park and walk around to find your favorite chicken beansprout restaurant.

    Once you have your orientation right, you will find that driving in Ipoh is not too bad.

    No Meter Taxi

  • Ipoh is a small place so we travelled by taxi most of the time. However, these taxi drivers don't use the meter so they charge you pretty much what they want.

    They usually charge about RM 4 - RM 8. If they charge you too high you should haggle a bit. Sometimes, they will over charge if they know that you are a tourist.

    A 5-minute taxi ride should cost about RM4.

    Taxi is the only transportation means at Ipoh, with the fare begin from RM.5 for short distance, it was wonder by I don't see any public bus in town or may be I don't recognize it anymore. In suburban Ipoh, the taxi is not stand 24 hours, so when it was late in the night, even you make a phone call to the taxi center, some time they didn;t respon anymore. Even at Public spot, sometime it was hard to get Taxi

    Travelling in Malaysia can never be easlier. You can reach Ipoh by car, but highway toll is leived. Alternatively, you can take bus. Bus to KL is about 2 hours for RM15. To Singapore is about 8 hours and costs RM38.
