Seri Menanti Things to Do Tips by muddybok

Sri Menanti

How do you like this magnificent looks of Sri Menanti with it’s reflection on wet field after the overnight shower?

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.

Did I tell you it’s a reflection on "wet field" after "overnight shower"? That is the condition for such effect.

Selamat Datang

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.

Visiting Hour

Daily (Monday-Sunday): 10am – 6pm
Except Friday: 10am – 12:15pm, 2:45pm – 6pm

I think you would have guessed them after referring to your phase book. Anyway, Friday noon will have a compulsory prayer slot for Muslim friends in Malaysia.

---

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.

Address: Sri Menanti Royal Museum

Newly planted

This field is well watered and it’s planting season for some paddy growers.

I have serious obsession to click my cameras whenever I see paddy fields. I don't know whether it's due to the longing to escape to quiet place these farmers had or it's my patriotism from growing up in an agricultural nation?

I am especially like the scene of ripe paddy grains in the field ready to be harvest.

Kampong Tour

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.

Royal Museum of Sri Menanti (Old Palace)

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.

Selamat Jalan

I hope you enjoy the Sri Menanti virtual tour. If you want to find out more about my next destination (Kuala Pilah), please leave your comment and click Kuala Pilah.

The Arch of Sri Menanti

There is no exception for Sri Menanti not having a grand looking arch. Being a Royal Town surrounded by beautiful hills, this arch will really set your mood to better appreciate this awesome looking town.

The journey continues….

I hope you enjoy the Sri Menanti Virtual Tour. My next destination is Kuala Pilah then Tampin.

Never miss good shots!!

I am suppose to show you some great looking buffalos but delayed my urge to take the shot when those buffalos came up close. I was thinking taking the photos slightly later since the opportunity for buffalos are plentiful.

I was proved wrong when I return and those buffalos rather playing mud at the far end (see highlight in yellow). My advice is if you going to take a great picture, just take it without reasoning or you will miss that frame forever.
