The Pasir Panjang Segari
Turtle Sanctuary, is located
just a couple of miles from
the town of Lumut in the
state of Perak. Visitors get
the opportunity to learn
about the turtles in their
natural habitat. Run by the
Department of Fisheries, this
hatchery and research
center is a quiet stretch of
beach and main landing area
for the Green Turtle, Olive
Ridley Turtle and Painted
Terrapin. Due to the decline
in turtle landing over the
years, the sanctuary
provides a heaven for baby
turtles who struggle to
survive against their natural
predators and trawler nets.
At the sanctuary, visitors can
watch turtles being hatched
and hold newborns in their
hand. Visitors can also feed
rescued turtles their favorite
food - fresh cucumber. Peak
nesting season is between
March and June.

| Kuala Kangsar is a well preserved, old Royal Town in the state of Perak. Stop at the Istana Kenangan (Istana means palace), home to the Royal Museum of Perak. Construction of the palace began in 1926 and it was completed five years later. Shaped like a sword, the entire palace was built without a blueprint and not a single nail was used. The walls are made of woven sliced bamboo and patterned in diamond motifs called "kelarai". |
