Bordered by the Thai province of Satun in the north, Kedah in the south-east, and lapped by the gentle waters of the Straits of Malacca on its western coastline, Perlis exudes quaint, unspoilt beauty and old rustic charm.

Its land area of 795 sq. km. and population of just 217,480 makes Perlis the smallest state in Malaysia.

Expansive green padi plains, punctuated occasionally by limestone outcroppings, along with the laid-back rural lifestyle makes driving a refreshing and pleasant way to experience the offerings of this destination.

The state capital of Perlis is Kangar, while Arau, only 10km away, is the traditional royal capital of the sultan.

Perlis lies on both the road and rail routes linking Singapore and Kuala Lumpur in the south to Bangkok in the north.

From January to April, the weather is usually warm and dry with September to December being wetter months. The annual range of temperature is from 21C to 32C while the average rainfall is between 2000ml to 2500ml.
