Selamat Datang and other Seri Menanti, Malaysia Things to Do Tips

This is one of the arches that welcome and bring you to loyal palace of Sri Menanti. You can enjoy some nicest roof top and houses using this N29 exit.

The other route accessible to Sri Menanti is much closer for visitor coming from Kuala Pilah direction.

Either way, you will get to see great architectural Minangkabau roof works and color village houses.

The Royal Museum of Sri Menanti is one of the major attractions in Negeri Sembilan. Due to its difficult route access to Sri Menanti, some beach destinations had somehow overshadowed the full potential of Sri Menanti.

I don't think i have cover much in my page due to my interest in visiting museum. But you better hurry to the place just in case some inappropriate of management and letting this priceless structure rotting away.

Beside the palace tour, you may want to consider a short tour into small villages around Sri Menanti.

You will discover very rich kampong setting and nice roof arts that concaved upward (Minangkabau style). How often do you get to see some villages next to an attraction anyway? Since you have been struck by the awesome looks of the museum & roof work, why not explore the village to better appreciate those miniature Minangkabau roof works on houses and i believe some of those creatively painted kampong houses will equally impress you.

Most roofs in Negeri Sembilan will concave upward a little. Majority of the houses will also be painted with dark color. Some families have lately painted the pillars with brighter colors and redefined the colorful lifestyle of Negeri people.

According to Pepatik custom, men in Negeri Sembilan will be married into the female families. The wife will also have major say in daily lives. This is what we call girl power!!!

Don't worry if you arrive during Friday prayer time because you can explore the lakes and probably drive around the village area and see Moslem walking to mosque. There would be single hour waited in your life visiting Sri Menanti.

This is not a common looks of Sri Menanti. In fact do not hold me responsible for not getting the same photographic effect on your visit.

Sri Menanti not just built entirely with solid wood, but it is also the only big palace architected without the usage of a single metal nails.

The building was built entirely woods interlocked and wood pegs to hold the building in place and survive many years of administration purposes.

This is the Royal Mosque of Tuanku Manawir, located next to Arch of Sri Menanti at the entrance of Sri Menanti.

I don’t think you’ll even miss it from entering the area.
