Overview
Explore beyond the city on this full-day Kinta Valley Heritage Tour in Ipoh, Perak, designed for travellers who want to uncover the region’s natural wonders and historical depth. The Kinta Valley was once one of the world’s richest tin mining regions, and its legacy remains deeply woven into the towns, landscapes and landmarks found here today.
Your journey begins with a hotel pick-up in Ipoh and a drive to Gopeng, where you’ll enjoy a local breakfast before entering Tempurung Cave. As the longest cave system in Peninsular Malaysia, Tempurung Cave showcases dramatic stalactites and stalagmites, flowing limestone formations and naturally carved pathways, all explored with a guide through selected sections of the cave.
Continue to a tin mining museum founded by a former mine owner, where antique machinery and firsthand stories bring Perak’s mining era to life. After lunch, visit Kellie’s Castle, an unfinished colonial mansion surrounded by mystery and folklore. Before returning to Ipoh, walk through Papan Old Town, a quiet historical village that reflects the decline of the tin industry after World War II.
This private tour is ideal for history lovers, curious explorers and travellers seeking a deeper understanding of Ipoh and Perak beyond the usual city sights.
