Day 15 - Perak Man and Kuala Kangsar

Planet Pomelo-18



Another busy day today on Day 15 of our Malaysian Road Trip (5th August 2020). The highlight was a drive to visit the 10,000 year-old Perak Man. I did not learn about his existence until well into the planning stage for this trip when it was suggested by a friend. So, I have given him a page to himself as he deserves!

After this, we spent the afternoon in the Royal City of Kuala Kangsar and saw the beautiful Ubudiah Royal Mosque and the colourful Istana Kenangan (the Palace of Dreams). And our last surprise of the day was finding one of the oldest rubber trees in Malaysia!


Here is a slide show of the photos taken on Day 15:
