This northern state is located at the tip of Peninsular Malaysia, bordering Thailand. It is home to some of the most interesting food in Malaysia as it combines flavors from both Malay and Thai cuisines. Perlis is also home to Gua Kelam, one of the oldest caves in Peninsular Malaysia, naturally linking the foot of a hill to a valley 370 meters away. While not as urban developed as the more popular states of Penang and Selangor, Perlis prides itself on its ancient and traditional roots, almost seeming like a fixed point in time of older Malaysia. This unforgettable, unmissable monument is the pride and joy of Malaysia, and are the tallest twin towers in the world. Spend an entire day hanging out in the famous Suria KLCC Mall at its base, or take time to explore the towers themselves, viewing the city from the Sky Bridge or the observation deck on the 86th floor.
If you have longed to explore a rainforest, then Taman Negara is your must visit destination in Malaysia.

Taman Negara is home to animals like the Malayan tiger, crab-eating macaque, Malayan gaur (seladang) and Indian elephant; and birds such such as great argus, red junglefowl and rare Malayan peacock-pheasant.
The Oriental Village in the upper northwest of Langkawi Island, near Pantai Kok, is the entrance for the cable-car ride, which takes visitors all the way up to Mount Mat Cincang, Langkawi’s second highest peak. Entering the village and passing through the pleasant oriental garden and souvenir shops, visitors make their payment at a counter before stepping onto an escalator which brings them to the cable-car pedestal. Look out at the side for a view of the Telaga Tujuh Waterfalls, which cascades down a grey rock face. Find even more info at anugerahhomestay.com.
