Ipoh between KL and Penang — stopover order?

Traveler · 1h

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

KL → Ipoh → Penang flows north — ETS connects all, each leg 2–2.5 hr. Ipoh 2–3 nights between KL skyscrapers and Penang island food reset. Cameron Highlands branches from Ipoh direction without KL backtrack. Reverse fine. Book Ipoh–Butterworth ETS early weekends. 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.
