Perak Botanical Garden, situated on Jalan Air Terjun in Taiping, Perak, is a meticulously curated sanctuary for nature enthusiasts and researchers alike. Strategically positioned near prominent attractions such as Taiping Lake Gardens, Zoo Taiping, Bukit Larut, and the Taiping War Cemetery, the garden spans approximately 56.5 acres, offering a diverse array of flora representative of Malaysia's northern region.
The garden is thoughtfully divided into themed areas, each showcasing unique plant species. The Palmatum Garden features a variety of palm and cycad trees, including Roystonea regia and Licuala grandis. The Perak Malay Garden highlights indigenous species like the Ipoh tree and Beruas. Additionally, the Northern Zone Endemic Garden presents plants native to Perak, Penang, Kedah, and Perlis, such as the rare Maingaya malaya.
Visitors can enjoy well-maintained walking paths that meander through these themed sections, providing a serene environment for leisurely strolls and nature appreciation. The garden's proximity to natural water features adds to its tranquil ambiance, making it a favored spot for relaxation and photography. While the garden is still under development, it already offers a peaceful retreat with interesting bird sightings like the Lineated Barbet and Crimson-winged Woodpecker.
For those planning a visit, it's advisable to explore beyond the main areas to discover hidden gems like Chinese clan tombs and Malay graves over the hill. Additionally, be cautious of aggressive macaques on certain paths; take note of warning signs if any.Â
