Teluk Intan
Spend a half‑day to a full day in Teluk Intan; arrive early, see the Leaning Tower and market, then catch a bus back.
Teluk Intan is a small Perak town best explored in a few hours. The main attractions – the historic Leaning Tower, Batu Tenggek rock and the Saturday night market – are close together. Buses from Ipoh or Kuala Lumpur run hourly, so a day‑trip is easy; stay only if you want a relaxed pace or night market experience.
