Hotels in Perak, Malaysia

Perak is a state on Malaysia's west coast, famous for its historic tin mining towns and lush rainforests. The climate is tropical and humid year-round, with temperatures around 86°F (30°C) daily. During the dry season from March to October, you can go white-water rafting on the Kampar River in Gopeng, while the wetter months from November to February are perfect for exploring Ipoh's 19th-century shophouses and cave temples like Perak Tong. If you want cooler air, head to the Cameron Highlands for tea plantations and strawberry picking, or hit Pangkor Island for snorkeling in the Strait of Malacca.
