Hari Raya Aidilfitri is happening in less than a week and is one of the biggest religious festival in Malaysia celebrated by Muslims. Most of us would be planning our journeys back to our hometown aka ‘balik kampung’ to celebrate with our loved ones but to those who consider the Klang Valley as their hometown might choose to stay in the city instead. Why not take that time in the city to embrace the ‘balik kampung’ and Hari Raya spirit? For the first time, Airbnb Experiences allow this community to immerse in their own unique kampung experience here in the Klang Valley.
Launched in Kuala Lumpur, Airbnb Experiences are magical, handcrafted activities powered by local people. With a rise in passion travel, these Experiences are popular amongst many who wants to go beyond the typical tours or classes by showcasing the various Airbnb local hosts’ unique hobbies and expertise.
Led by local experienced hosts, you and your group of friends and family can go for local food tasting or trying their hand at art such as batik painting. From cultural walks to hiking alongside secret waterfalls, families can also stay active by exploring Klang Valley.
Here is a list of 6 Airbnb Experiences you could try with your loved ones this festive season that’s around the Klang Valley!
