    Wanna go for a boat ride?? You can try your luck at Timah Tasoh Dam.

    It is not commercial, but you can join the local fisherman for a boat ride to the middle of the dam for fishing.

    Might be free, might be fee to pay or might be refused. Depends on your luck!

    Jungle walk at Gua Kelam
    by ngcsc
    To enter Gua Kelam, every visitor has to pay an entrance fee. However, if you wanna save some money and yet experience more of Gua Kelam, there is an alternative route.

    Go the the left side before the entrance, right behind the information office, there is a path going uphill with stairs, end of the path, you are actually in the Gua Kelam park. You can walk into Gua Kelam from the entrance at the other end without paying any entrance fee, but of course you pay by you strenght and effort.

    Beware, don't turn left when you see a left junction along the way, it will lead you to another way.

    This is the scenery of Kaki Bukit in December to January. For me, I have never seen this attractive scenery on the street of any part of Malaysia. This photo surprise all my friends and they thought it is elsewhere in oversea.

    Perlis State Park

  • Located near the Thai border at Kaki Bukit, this 1,000ha park is a rare gem... Hiking is possible here, just follow the jungle tracks... It is not easy, but it will take you to a lovely waterfall and onwards to the Wang Berma Cave where there is more to explore...

  • The Gua Gelam (or Cave of Darkness) Recreatioal Park is lcoated about 33km north of Kangar within the Perlis State Park, which borders Thailand's Nakawan Range... The well-lit cave serves as the entry point to a scenic recreation park at the other end... The park, developed by the State government in 1988, attracts many visitors during holidays and weekends...

    Accidentally found a newly setup Ostrich farm on the way to Kaki Bukit. It is not open for public at this moment, but if walk-in and ask the worker to a photo, it shouldn't a problem.

    Close to Chuping (a small town close to Kaki Bukit), there is a largest farmland in Perlis.

    As the picture show, the greenish landscape is all under the plantation. It has brought in great economic impact for Perlis

    Dry season at Timah Tasoh
    by ngcsc
    I am not sure Timah Tasoh Dam is consider as must see activities or off the beaten path... it has not developed as a tourist spot in Perlis, however, I love to visit there everytime I back to Kangar.

    As Perlis' wheather is quit different with the other part of Malaysia.... you will get to see the different of Timah Tasoh Dam from time to time... the dry season, the rainning and hot season......

    The alternative road getting into Gua Kelam is adventurous. However, it is a good chance to have close contact with the limestone structure.
