“Feel & experience a truly living lifestyle & the hospitality of the local villagers 👭👫👬 in Banghuris Homestay, Sepang 🇲🇾“

.

Ohh ya…It’s just 20mins drive 🚙🚗 from KL International Airports ✈️ (KLIA & KLIA2) & you can book & arrange for your transport from the airport for this kampung homestay 💗👍🏻

So, let’s plan your kampung style staycation 🏡 @ Banghuris Homestay, Malaysia 🇲🇾 with its ASEAN Tourism Award-winning 🎖 & Best Homestay in Malaysia ~ Malaysia Tourism Award in 2004 🎖

.

The packages available are RM70 a day trip, RM160 2️⃣D1️⃣N package & RM260 3️⃣D2️⃣N package. Of course you can book & discuss with the person in charge for a personalisation homestay package & different fee applies

What's your definition of a "kampung"? Should Kampung become part of a tourism industry or it is just the feeling of belongness that is hatched deep inside of us since we were born and grew up on this land? Or is it because Kampung is engraved in our heart with nostalgic feelings and familiarity of calmness, peaceful and quiet. Or is it always the tranquility and peace of mind that we longed for? In Selangor, not far from the massive modernity and engineered development of Klang Valley, apparently there are a lot of options for the exhausted people of the city to run away to for a day of two. Banghuris Homestay, a community centric destination, a result of the efforts by the three villages of Kampung Chuchoh Hulu, Kampung Hulu Teris and Kampung Bukit Bangkong is one of the closest yet the best option for the city people to get themselves lost in the quietness and easeness of life. ___ #KitaKeKampung #KitaKanSekampung #PusingSelangorDulu #BudayaSelangor #travellocal #travelsafe #GayaTravel 🤍 #HuaweiMate20Pro #Huawei #seetheworld #huaweiphotography #travel #cuticutimalaysia #traveltheworld #village #TravelTomorrow
