A Long Awaited Visit
Happy National Recovery Plan (NRP) Phase 3, Kuala Lumpur!
We had heard so much about this mysterious castle, so we pencilled in a stop on our way to Ipoh. About half an hour after leaving the Northbound R&R Tapah, we exited the North–South Expressway at Gopeng, eager to finally see the haunted and much talked about Kellie’s Castle.
Reasonable Fees… Until
The entrance fee was RM2, and parking was another RM2 per vehicle — very reasonable, we thought. That was until we were told there would be a RM50 surcharge if we used a “DSLR” (their term for our little Lumix). Footage shot with mobile phones, however, would incur no charge.
A lose lose situation for content creators. Oh well — we moved on. Don’t look back in anger… we heard her say?
We intend to return one day and do justice to Kellie’s Castle, but only when common sense prevails and the RM50 surcharge is abolished.
Shaky Footage Ahead
Since we had to rely entirely on the iPhone X, we apologise for the mostly shaky footage. Low light, handheld, and hurried — not the best combination.
Until Next Time
Kellie’s Castle remains on our list, and we hope to revisit it properly in the future. For now, this short stopover will have to do.

We do what we can to support local businesses, and it's always good to know that everyone here observes all related SOPs, it helps make us feel safer and reassured.
