Your guide to Kuala Kangsar
All About Kuala Kangsar
Located on the Perak River, Kuala Kangsar — also known as the Royal Town of Perak — is home to resplendent palaces, historical monuments, and one of the most majestic mosques in Malaysia. Through its monuments and architecture, the city has preserved its pre-colonial past and merged it with colonial infrastructure like railways. Modern residential buildings in the city center give way to simple Malay-style chalets by the river, where fishermen pull in nets full of giant prawns and carp.
You’ll find artisan stalls throughout the city selling handmade fish traps, flower vases, and water pitchers. Head just outside of town for a picnic beside the Ulu Kenas Waterfall, or relax around the beautifully illuminated riverside. Several forest reserves and mountain ranges surround Kuala Kangsar, with plenty of hiking trails to explore and peaks to summit. Just north of the city, Chenderoh Lake offers placid waters surrounded by mountains for a peaceful day of kayaking.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Kuala Kangsar
The busiest and best months to visit Kuala Kangsar are June, September, and March. During each of these months, the streets come alive with music, food festivals, and markets adorned with aesthetic displays of handicrafts. The weather is hot and very humid year-round, but temperatures are at their most pleasant from December to March, when rainfall is at its lowest. The city experiences its most rain in October and November.
During major Muslim festivals like Eid and Ramadan, mosques and palaces around Kuala Kangsar host many religious programs and cultural events. Bright lights illuminate the city, people crowd the riverside, and food stalls serve halal delicacies after dark, making it an excellent time to visit. Keep in mind that during Ramadan, the Muslim population fasts from sun-up to sundown, so be respectful of local tradition and embrace the night market culture.
Top things to do in Kuala Kangsar
Ubudiah Mosque
Characterized by its giant golden dome, white marble pillars, and beautiful minarets, Ubudiah Mosque is one of Malaysia’s architectural delights. Built in 1917 by the Sultan of Perak, the mosque is decorated with ornate chandeliers and Italian marble floors. You’ll find Persian carpets in the octagonal prayer room, and the mosque is air-conditioned, making it the perfect stop during the humid afternoons.
Perak Royal Museum
The Perak Royal Museum, or Istana Kenangan (Palace of Memories) is famous for its all-wood design. The brightly painted building, erected in 1926, was created without blueprints, and not a single metal nail was used during construction. Diamond-shaped bamboo patterns and wooden walls with delicate floral wood carvings around the window decorate this architectural wonder.
Craft Bazaar
Kuala Kangsar has a thriving handicraft industry, and the craft bazaar along the banks of the Sungai Perak offers visitors the chance to browse these goods at leisure. Here you’ll find beautiful handmade products such as artistic fish traps, mats, woven rattan, and gold embroidery.
