Holidays in Gerik

If 'humdrum' is how you'd describe your life at the moment, then you definitely need an adventure! Why not book a flight to Gerik and immerse yourself in the awesome rural landscapes of Perak?

It's located 260 kilometres north of Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia.

For a day of family amusement, pay a visit to Belum Jetty.

Get some fresh air and appreciate the natural surrounds of Ulu Legong Hot Springs. It lies 45 kilometres away from Gerik. You'll also find some quiet time at Lata Bayu Waterfall, 50 kilometres away.

The nearby destinations of Pengkalan Hulu and Betong are worth visiting. They're located 35 kilometres northwest and 35 kilometres north away, respectively. Get in a car and find out what they're all about!

Whether it's for shopping or to take in the sights, travellers often make their way to Taiping, 80 kilometres to the southwest. All Saints’ Church, the Perak Museum and Commonwealth Allied War Cemetery are all close at hand. That being said, you shouldn't miss Perak Prison and the Muzium Perak either.

From snorkeling to swimming, there's a range of ways to get out on the water in Perak. Just don't forget your sun cream!

Spend some time inspecting the hidden gems of the region's craft workshops.

If you ask some locals about activities in the surrounding area, they'll likely point you towards the intriguing open-air markets.

Satisfy the history buff within by wandering around the local area's traditional villages. They're exceptional places to learn a thing or two about the region's past.

If you'd like to learn about the local set of beliefs, organise an outing to some temples. Even if you don't experience a spiritual awakening, it's likely that you'll find some peace and quiet.

Eating is one of life's biggest pleasures, and since you're here, we guess you think travel is too. Combine your zeal for both by getting out and sampling the local food and beverage offerings at some of the bars, cafés and restaurants in town.

There's always a local meal or two you absolutely have to try, and during your time in Gerik, ikan bakar (grilled seafood) is certainly among them. Heong peng (shallot filled pastry) is another well-loved dish that's bound to make an impression.

Don't let the language barrier get in the way of a good time! Make your trip to Perak a more fulfilling one by learning some expressions in the local tongue. 'Berapa harganya ini?' can be very useful. It's how you say 'how much is this?'. Perhaps you'll find 'Selamat jalan!' is a bit easier to roll off the tongue? It means 'have a nice trip'.

If you're thinking of checking out Gerik in August, you'll want to be here on the 31st for Independence Day. There's always lots of excitement in the air on this day of national celebration.

When it finally comes time to leave, spend the last of your holiday allowance and say one final "Sampai jumpa lagi" to Gerik.

Flying home? Map a route, pack up your suitcase and set an alarm clock. The nearest airport, Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL), is just 310 kilometres to the south.
