Traveler · 1h

10 days Malaysia. KL → Ipoh → Penang or reverse?

Best answer

KL → Ipoh → Penang flows north — ETS connects all three. Ipoh 2–3 nights between KL skyscrapers and Penang island. Reverse fine too. Cameron Highlands branches from Ipoh direction if you add highlands — don't backtrack KL. Hotter than Penang — cave temples AM only.

KL → Ipoh → Penang by ETS — each leg 2–2.5 hr. Ipoh food reset before Penang crowds.

Penang first then Ipoh — regretted leaving Ipoh food last, too full for bean sprout chicken.

ETS tickets — book Ipoh–Butterworth early, fills on weekends.
