With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that Kuala Kangsar, 19 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area beginning with Masjid Ubudiah, Istana Iskandariah and Ubudiah Mosque. Locals will also likely point you toward Taiping, 30 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, let it be Zoo Taiping & Night Safari. (But we’re also big fans of Taiping Lake Garden and Taiping Golf & Country Club.)
