HARI RAYA SO ‘MAGICAL’ IN LOST WORLD OF TAMBUN

If your idea of a family vacation is to just plug off and immerse yourself into nature, then Ipoh would be just the place for you. Ipoh is called by many the most beautiful city in South East Asia thanks to well-preserved limestone hills and caves, vibrant food scene and the combination of the old architecture charmed with some modern amenities – truly a perfect place to escape to this upcoming Raya holidays!

Making the destination extra magical is Lost World Of Tambun (LWOT) as it sets to usher in the Hari Raya celebration with its Magical Raya theme, boasting an array of interesting activities for you and your loved ones.

Start off by taking a walk down memory lane as characters from the past unfold old folk stories such as Puteri Gunung Ledang and Hang Tuah at the Magical Raya Show. Observe the Silat Lagenda Dance for a unique cultural experience and put on your dancing shoes as you ‘joget’ along with traditional Malay music.

For the wilder side of you, brace yourself as you venture into the pitch-dark cave greeted by the breeze of thousands of bats flying by. Enjoy the thrill of flying as you zip across a 120 meter long cable while admiring the dense forest around you. You could even overcome your fear of heights or simply for bragging rights when you conquer Via Feratta with Abseil – a protected rock climbing route and abseil down safely with the help of instructors.  

For the faint hearted or if you just want to chill, a dip in the natural hot springs and spas will certainly get you recharged. And for good family bonding moments, a walk in the Petting Zoo will get the young and old alike amused with the eccentric behaviours of more than 55 species ranging from birds, mammals and reptiles. The Petting Zoo’s latest addition such as the all-new Hippo Kingdom enclosure that features many more fascinating creatures such as Juwita, our very own female hippopotamus, beautiful flamingos, large Estuarine crocodiles, hyenas and deers roaming freely in their natural setting – adding to the already long list of attractions at the Petting Zoo.
