CYCLING PERAK

Best Cycling Trails In Perak

Perak, a state once rich in tin, is one of the largest states in Peninsular Malaysia. Save for a few, the tin mines are almost gone but the state has turned its attention to tourism, dressing up it's cities and even small towns to bring in the crowd. This is an added bonus for cyclists as it has brought more exciting, colourful places to ride in.
