The northwest comprises Perlis, Penang, Perak, Kedah, and each state holds their own unique grandeur be it in the historical sense or in the natural wonders it holds.
How to get there
The North-South Expressway (NKVE) which is strategically located along these states makes traveling up and around the northwest coast easy and convenient.

Rail travel is also a good way to see much of the countryside including the traditional villages and paddy fields.
