Traveler advice
Getting around
Grab or drive
If you were not driving, Grab is more recommended compared to Ipoh local taxi, due to its reasonable fare.It's easy to get grab in Ipoh for a reasonable fare. For example, grab from Ipoh railway station to Riyo Homestay is about RM 6.
There are transit bus service along the main road opposite the house, but for convenience, it is advisable to have your own car or call grab car.
Book before you go
Train to/ from Ipoh
Recommended because the railway station is in the city centre, which is convenient and near our house. But it is quite often fully booked, so early booking is recommended.
Ways to save
Bus or train?
If you are coming/leaving Ipoh, train is more recommended compared to long distance bus. It is due to Ipoh’s long distance bus terminal , Aman Jaya, located far from the city ; while Ipoh railway station is just in the city centre. Meanwhile, train will save your time and taxi fare when you reach in Ipoh or before you depart from Ipoh.
Ways to save
Bus company
Srimaju is the only long distance bus which will take you to Ipoh city centre for FREE! All the other bus companies will drop you off at Amanjaya bus terminal, which located almost 20km from the Ipoh city. But during purchasing bus ticket in Srimaju, please mention that you want to drop off in Ipoh ( Srimaju main office) instead of Amanjaya. Buy the ticket earlier from Srimaju, it runs out fast!
Getting around
Leaving Gua Tempurung
If you plan to visit Gua Tempurung, which is about 15km from the city, there are various ways to get there such as bus,grab car etc. But after a tiring few hours of challenging tour in Gua Tempurung, to leave there and return to Ipoh city, please pre-arrange your transportation
