Little town with an English castle


The name Batu Gajah is believed to be derived from two large elephant-shaped boulders located along Sungai Kinta near Kampung Pisang. However, villagers say the boulders sank into the waters in the 1990s.

MENTION Batu Gajah in Perak, and people are quick to equate it with the famous Kellie’s Castle.

Although unfinished, the ruinsof the mansion remains asmysterious as it is breathtaking.
