Gravel cycling in Malaysia
Malaysia has some of the best gravel terrain in Southeast Asia — palm and rubber plantations, old tin-mining roads, kampung backroads, jungle fire trails. We're mapping it route by route, starting in Perak.
GPX-ready routes
Every route includes a downloadable GPX file, surface mix, water stops, and the practical stuff — dog hotspots, gates, when estate access is open.
Local knowledge
Routes ridden and verified on the ground. We update them when conditions change (new gates, washed-out sections, regrowth).
Built for the community
Open-source style — share your routes, fix our notes, suggest a loop. Drop us a message and we'll add it.
Perak gravel routes
Ipoh, Batu Gajah, Gopeng, Kinta Valley. Plantation tracks and old mining roads.
Papan to Hutan Lipur Falls
Papan, Perak
A short, easy 10km out-and-back from Papan town up to Hutan Lipur Papan waterfall. Mostly road, gentle climb, passes through one of the prettiest ghost towns in Perak with limestone valley views all the way to the falls.
GPX available ↓Sungai Kinta Gravel: Ipoh ↔ Batu Gajah
Ipoh / Batu Gajah, Perak
A 42km out-and-back gravel run (21km each way) along the Sungai Kinta from Ipoh to Silverlakes Village in Batu Gajah. Limestone bund tracks and kampung tarmac, mostly flat, easy. The tin-mining heritage corridor of the Kinta Valley — finished with coffee at SUS in Silverlakes.
GPX available ↓Ulu Kinta Dam Gravel Loop
Ulu Kinta, Perak
A 15km mixed-surface gravel loop from Lombong Timah Ulu Kinta park up the access road towards the Sultan Azlan Shah Dam. Roughly 50/50 tarmac and gravel, with a few deceptively slippery sections from watershed runoff.
GPX available ↓Ride with us
