Day Trip to Kangar, Perlis

5 July 2011: Perlis, the smallest state to the far North in Peninsular Malaysia is situated at the border of Thailand. Majority of the residents in Perlis are Malays but there are Chinese, Indians and Thais as well. This township named Cuping has the nation largest sugarcane plantation.

The Capital of Perlis is Kangar and it is just 10 minutes drive from Kuala Perlis which is one of the main gateways to the famous resort island of Langkawi.

With the completion of the Changlun-Kuala Perlis Highway a few years ago, it has shorthern the travelling time to this beautiful town (just 30 mins from Changlun) compare to previously you will need to travel via Alor Setar using the old trunk road. This new highway will bring you through the beautiful greenary of padi fields of Perlis.

Kuala Perlis, which is a fishing port is famous for its fresh seafood and a visit to Perlis is not complete without a seafood meal.
