Tapah is a town and the capital of Batang Padang District, Perak, Malaysia.[1] It is one of the two gateway towns to the renowned hill retreat of Cameron Highlands alongside Simpang Pulai, with the latter situated approximately 39 kilometres (24 mi) to its north.
Tapah is located 49 kilometres (30 mi) to the southeast of Ipoh, the state capital city.
Name
The name "Tapah" is said to be originated from the name of a freshwater fish, "Ikan Tapah". The scientific name of the fish is Wallago leeri. The locals said that the name has been taken from the Perak Malay word which means "no worry" (Standard Malay: Script error: No such module "Lang"., colloquial speech: Script error: No such module "Lang".).[2]
Geography
The Batang Padang River flows through Tapah.[3] Major neighbouring towns are Kampar and Bidor. Attributing to its location on the western foothills of the Titiwangsa Range, there are some magnificent waterfalls within its vicinity. The Lata Kinjang waterfall is about 18 km from Tapah on the road to Chenderiang. It is an impressive series of cascades down a 100 m drop. The falls can be seen from the North–South Expressway (PLUS). The other one is the Lata Iskandar waterfall, located further inland along the main route linking the town with Ringlet of Cameron Highlands.
Transport
Tapah is located on the trunk road between Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh. There is an entrance to the North–South Expressway (E1) at Tapah via exit 132. This town is also widely considered as the main entry point into the old Cameron Highlands route, which is a winding and narrow road uphill. The nearest train station is Tapah Road.[4]
