A Majestic looking Goddess, in the form of Kali




Perak Tong is a limestone cave temple located at Jalan Kuala Kangsar. This
temple houses over 40 Buddha statues, the centre piece being a 12.8m high
sitting Buddha. Beyond the main altar, there is a passage which leads into the
interior of the cave. After a steep climb of 385 steps, the cave opens again to
reveal a wonderful view of the surrounding countryside. Visitors will also be
fascinated by the beautiful mural paintings of the cave's walls.
