The state of Perlis is noted for its
large population of venomous snakes as the limestone caves and crevices offers the best
natural habitat for these reptiles. The Snake Farm at Sungai Batu Pahat houses 23 species
of live snakes in large open-air enclosures. In addition, there is also a crocodile and
fish pond.
 The royal town of Perlis, Arau, is 10km east of Kangar. It has a Royal Palace
and a Royal Mosque, which can easily accommodate up to 7,000 people in one prayer session.
The town, with houses interspersed with clusters of fruit trees and coconut palms, is
worth a visit.
 A small picturesque lake, Tasik Melati is located about 8km north of Kangar.
The lake is shallow and more than 150 sandbar-islands can be seen all over the lake.
Visitors can row sampans to these tiny islands. Elevated walkways are found over the
waters, thus providing vantage viewpoints and seating for visitors. Recently, the lake was
also stocked with fishes.
An ideal location for picnicking, Bukit
Air offers cool streams that meander through a lush tropical forest setting with
waterfalls cascading into a frothy rocky pool. It also offers camping sites, car park
facilities, and basic amenities to make the trip more comfortable.
