With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience everything that Kuala Kangsar, 25 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area starting with Masjid Ubudiah, Istana Iskandariah and Ubudiah Mosque. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Butterworth, 35 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, make sure it’s KOMTAR. (But we’re also huge fans of Gurney Drive and Gurney Plaza.)
