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. In most Asian cities, like this one, a homestay means that the house or property is bought by a local and then rooms are rented out to tourists. Living in the midst of the city is the best way to really understand the city. So, if you have similar beliefs, here are some of the best properties you can book if you’re looking for the best homestays in Kuala Kangsar, Malaysia.
