Head back in time in Lenggong

Asian Trails’ new authentic homestay experience in Lenggong, Malaysia, offers a rare glimpse into a unique way of life in a spectacular setting.

This remote valley is famous for the discovery of the 11,000-year-old Perak Man – the oldest and most complete human skeleton found in South-East Asia. However, the real story of Lenggong is not buried beneath the earth; it lives on in the lives of its residents.

Nestled between Penang and Ipoh, this less-visited region is where Malaysia’s ancient past and vibrant cultural traditions thrive.

Guests are invited to take part in long-standing customs such as making bedak sejuk, a cooling rice-based facial powder used by generations of village women or learning the intricate art of rattan weaving from the elders. A leisurely sunset boat ride across the serene waters of Lake Chenderoh is another exceptional experience.

 

While the accommodation is basic and does not offer the comforts of hotels, it provides a deep connection to traditional Malay village life.

To learn more about an escape that includes overnight stays in traditional kampong homes, delicious home-cooked meals, and, most of all, deep, meaningful connections with the friendly locals, contact Asian Trails Malaysia
