My Ipoh 3 days travel itinerary- Day 2

Second day was spent in Gopeng, Perak. Too sad Gua Tempurung is closed for restoration and Gopeng museum is closed on Thursday when we were there. So we have extra time to visit Gopeng.


First stop is Gaharu Tea Valley 
Entrance fee: No charges
Guided tour: RM 10 (gift, transport and touring around the farm)
Open daily, 9am-6pm  
Great & warm services from the tour guide! 



RM10 includes this pack of Gaharu tea, a pieces of kayu Raja and guided tour in van.

Gaharu is said to have great energy, we were hugging the tree to feel the qi and balance.

Kellie's Castle
Entrance fee: RM5 (Malaysian, IC must be shown); RM10 for foreigner.
Open at 9am-6pm 
It is an abandoned building of William Kellie from Scotland after his death. He is very fascinated of Hindu so there is a secret tunnel that connect the castle to the Hindu temple nearby. There is Indian architecture as well.









This is said to be his old house

this place is a abandoned beauty, located in the very secretive place. There are machines processing stones and pebbles, big trucks in the area. Ask the workers for direction if you're in doubt.


Gotta oass through this dark tunnel to enter into the beautiful lake,
