Home Stay in Perak

Staying with a foster family is the best, true and unforgettable experience of the Malaysian 

‘kampung’ living. These villages or ‘kampung’ are typically scenic countryside away from the 

hustle bustle urban life. Majority of these villagers still maintain their heritage and 

traditional ways of life in terms of food, sports, dance and home-based industries. Sometimes 

the home stay program involves a few nearby villages that enhance the harmonious 

relationship amongst them. It also benefits the tourist to understand the local community.
