Ever imagine yourself staying in a remote Malay Village in Kelantan, where the pace is unhurried and the folks friendly. Villagers who act as hosts in the homestay will make your stay there as comfortable as possible, treating you as they would one of their own.

With a homestay visit, you can join the villagers in their daily activities -- rubber tapping, catching fish and husking of paddy with a traditional pounder. Listen to them perform the 'kertuk', a percussion instrument made of wood, 'dikir barat', an impromptu rhythmic song, or Silat, the Malay art of self-defence. Or walk to the jungle fringe and take a dip in the cool water of the waterfall.

Kampung Blok Ulu Kusial is located in Gua Musang. For more information, please contact the South Kelantan Development Authority (KESEDAR) in Gua Musang at 609- 912 1788 or the Kota Bharu Tourist Information Centre at 609-7485534.
