erak, located on the western coast of Peninsular Malaysia, is a state of majestic mountains, colonial towns, and mysterious limestone caves. Its name, meaning “silver,” is thought to reference the gleam of tin—a metal that once brought immense wealth to the region during the British colonial era.

Nature seekers will be drawn to Cameron Highlands (shared with Pahang) and Bukit Larut, while adventure travelers can explore Gua Tempurung, one of the largest limestone cave systems in Peninsular Malaysia. The Royal Town of Kuala Kangsar, home to grand palaces and the stunning Ubudiah Mosque, showcases the state’s regal heritage.
