Day 1 – Arrival in Ipoh
Your Malaysian journey continues to Ipoh, which is known for its colonial buildings and culinary treasures. It’s a down-to-earth Malaysian city with faded shophouses, friendly locals and a relaxed vibe. A convenient stopover city with enough character, flavour and heritage to make a short stay feel worthwhile. You will stay in a boutique hotel within walking distance of shops, eateries and historical sights.
Day 2 – Heritage walking tour
Today you will meet your guide for an insight into Ipoh’s colonial past. Your starting point will be the Railway Station – which, in itself, is one of Ipoh’s most famous landmarks. You will wander through the streets with your guide visiting various landmarks including the Birch Memorial which has panels portraying the world’s most famous historical figures.
Ipoh is second only to Penang as a ‘foodie haven’ in Malaysia, so a visit isn’t complete without trying some of their local delicacies. During your city tour you will stop for lunch to sample local drinks and snacks such as spring rolls, satay and the famous white coffee. This area has a mix of Chinese and Indian influences so you can expect some tasty treats not typically found in other parts of Malaysia.
An active alternative….
If you’re feeling active then we can arrange a heart-pumping, white water rafting experience on the scenic Kampur River. The clear waters are suitable for anyone who is physically fit and those who crave a bit of excitement. If this sounds appealing, ask your Travel Specialist to include this in your travel plan.
Day 3 – Departure from Ipoh
After breakfast this morning, your time in Ipoh will come to an end. We can help you arrange your onward journey to the next stop on your Malaysia adventure.
