Perlis State Park is located along the
western border of Perlis, where Peninsular Malaysia meets Thailand. The Park is
situated on the longest continuous range of limestone hills in the country,
called the Nakawan Range which stretches some 36km long. The Nakawan Range has
beautiful, heavily forested slopes, sheer cliff faces, streams and extensive
cave systems. The Park consists of Mata Ayer Forest Reserve and Wang Mu Forest
Reserve with a total area of about 5,000ha.
One unique aspect of the Perlis State
Park is that it is the only semi-deciduous forest (which displays marked
changes during the dry season, whereby the leaves fall) in the country. The
Park's objectives are protection, conservation, research, education and
recreation. Some of the major attractions in Perlis State Park includes the
various caves such as Gua Kelam and Gua Wang Burma which is located within the
500 year-old Setul limestone formation
Perlis State Park is the first State
Park established on 1997 and gazetted on 3 July 2008 to protect and preserve
biological diversity. It sits in between Mata Ayer Reserve Forest and Wang Mu
Reserve Forest with area of 4,379.81 hectares. Perlis State Park is on the west
side of Perlis which is located on the longest limestone range in Malaysia (38
kilometres) known as 'Banjaran Nakawan'.
The natural forest Perlis State Park
is the seasonal type forest of Meranti Putih-Gerutu or better known as partial
forest deciduous (semidecidous). Most of the trees which grew on these
limestone hills will drop their leaf during prolonged drought between December
to May each year. In certain part of Perlis State Park, the vegettion forest is
the dipterokapa lowland type.
Untill today, there are 616 species of
flora (including one new species of Tectaria shahidaniana), 68 species of
mammal (including 5 primate species, 4 cat species, 32 bat species), 211
species of birds (including 6 hornbill species), and 35 reptile species
(including 27 snake) species were identified. Kentoi Ape (Macaca
arctoides) was the sole species of endemicmammal and can be found here.
Bogak species (Cycas clivicola) is a type of
antiquity endemic plant and its rarity have become a symbol for
Perlis State Park.
The uniqueness of Perlis State Park is
not only in the Flora and Fauna, but on the State Park itself. Most limestone

and the age are estimated of more than 500 million year. There are also other
