Perlis is the smallest state in Malaysia, covering a total land area of 819&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>. Like other [[Peninsular Malaysia#Other features|west coast states]], it has a coastline facing the [[Strait of Malacca]], measuring around 20.4&nbsp;km (12.7&nbsp;mi) from [[Kuala Sanglang]] at the border with [[Kedah]]'s [[Kubang Pasu District]] up north towards the [[Malaysia-Thailand border]] near Pos Batu Putih, in the vicinity of [[Kuala Perlis]].

From south to north, its topographical profile consists of flat, arable lands of the Kedah–Perlis Plain dotted with numerous [[Mogote|mogotes]], and abruptly rises up high as rolling [[karstic]] hills of the [[Nakawan Range]], which forms the natural boundary between the state and the province of [[Satun province|Satun]] on the [[Thailand|Thai]] side. In general, [[paddy fields]] dominate much of the state's landscape as the Perlisian portion of the Kedah–Perlis Plain had been utilized for [[rice farming]] since antiquity. Meanwhile, the [[Nakawan Range|Nakawan]] runs southwest–northeast along the Thai border from [[Kuala Perlis]] towards [[Kaki Bukit]]. The range is home to the 733-metre tall Mount Perlis, the highest point in the state.

===Climate===
Along with northern [[Kedah]], the entirety of Perlis experiences [[tropical monsoon climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification]]: '''''Am''''').
