While the most famous “Kuala” in Malaysia is definitely Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Kangsar is worth a visit. This underrated city is beautiful, with some famous attractions, like the Kuala Kangsar Royal Museum and the breathtaking Masjid Ubaidullah Mosque. The best way to experience the authentic local culture and traditions of Kuala Kangsar is by staying with a local, which means in a homestay.
