Perlis's flagship protected area in the Nakawan foothills at Wang Kelian, hard against the Thai border and managed under the Peninsular Malaysia Forestry Department, whose official page fixes the park coordinates at WGS 84 N6.6970, E100.1901 and lists an ecotourism complex with visitor facilities. Entry for non-Malaysians is RM5 adult / RM3 child 6-17 per Tourism Malaysia (prices subject to change). The park protects tropical semi-deciduous forest with trekking trails, Wang Burma Cave and camping. Note: the RM2 fee widely quoted nearby belongs to the separate Wang Kelian View Point, not park entry.
Highlights & Experience
Malaysia's Smallest State, Wildest Corner
The park guards a belt of tropical semi-deciduous forest along the Nakawan range — caves, limestone and bird-rich woodland minutes from the Thai fence line at Wang Kelian. The ecotourism complex at the entrance (reservation capacity around 40 people per the Forestry Department) anchors guided visits.
Trails, Wang Burma Cave and Camping
Coverage describes trekking trails, explorations of Wang Burma Cave and camping in the park — a contrast to Perlis's paddy-flat image. Birders list the park among the state's top sites alongside Timah Tasoh and Bukit Chabang.

Practical Q&A
How much is entry?
RM5 for non-Malaysian adults and RM3 for children 6-17 per Tourism Malaysia; the Malaysian tier was not captured. The RM2 you'll read about nearby is the separate Wang Kelian View Point fee.
When is it open?
Official hours were not published in sources we could reach; an older guide claims Monday-Friday operation — recorded as unverified. Check with the Forestry Department or locally before travelling.
What can I do there?
Trek the forest trails, explore Wang Burma Cave, camp, and birdwatch — the park is one of northern Malaysia's birding hotspots.
