Perak Agrotourism Resort (PATRO)

Perak Agrotourism Resort, better known as PATRO, is one of the unique and attractive tourist destinations in Perak, located in Sungai Galah, Tanjung Tualang. It is an initiative developed by the Perak State Agricultural Development Corporation (PPPNP).

The Sungai Galah area was originally a settlement and mining site developed during the British colonial era in Malaya. Mining technology, especially dredges, was brought in from England. Managers' houses and miners' quarters were built in the surrounding area. When tin prices plummeted, the mines in this area began to close, which is the origin of the mining landscape we see today, now developed into the Perak Agrotourism Resort (PATRO).
