Authentic Kampung Walk
Witness authentic ways of life in one of the last Malay enclaves
in the city centre of Kuala Lumpur.
WHY THIS TOUR?
Kampung Baru was established as early as the 1880’s and offers a rare glimpse into ethnic Malay culture. The community has an old-world vibe, with stilted wooden houses built in the traditional Malay style, surrounded by coconut and banana trees. Several families have lived in the village for four generations.
During this three-hour experience, guests explore the village to discover its food, architecture, local landmarks and cultural heritage. The excursion includes local-style high tea at a Malay home and visits to a mosque, a market and a temple.
