Mah Meri Cultural Village

A great place to find out more about the Orang Asli. Learned how to play conkat with Ariz and wove banana leaves with the villagers. Don’t leave until you have checked out the lovely woven goodies in the shop. We did ring beforehand to check if the village was open but no answer - unfortunately if it rains, they lose the wifi signal!

Lives this place . Mr Rashid and his team absolutely killed it. His passion and dedication to this Mah Meri history and people are so commendable.

But , to go, please book in advance.

This is because they are very proud and happy to receive guests. They will prepare a guide , welcoming ceremony with blessing for their valuable guests and even a crown.

Please do not be rude and ask what you want of them. But see their history with open hearts. Their way of life is something that we are only just learning and teaching our kids. Isn’t that amazing ?

Nice place to have short gateway and to know about orang asli culture at Pulau Carey

I walked into this cultural centre hoping to learn about Malaysia’s orang asli but I came away learning more.

Mr Rashid, his dedication and passion to this place and their people deserves our utmost respect, showed us around.
He painstakingly explained Mah Meri people’s history and their practices.

To see this place, it’s preferred that you book in advance as they have limited guides.

Mah Meri are proud and happy to receive visitors with a welcoming ceremony , blessing and even a crown.

They will prepare according to the informed numbers and requests.

It’s a small place but, only thru a guide’s explanation will you be able to learn their history properly. It’s interesting that they already know and was practicing what we are only just finding out and starting to teach our young ones now.

There are only about 4200 of them. They need our support to remain as part of Malaysia’s colorful history.

not too far from KL if you want to experience origin people of Malaysia. Their art on making mask is amazing.. you can join them during dancing too with beautiful clothes decoration. Mask crafting and dancing is at different location. just 3-4 minutes walk.

Very friendly orang asli. We learned a lot about their culture, people, history n their believes.

A great place to know about Mah Meri tribe! People are friendly there. We have a chance to dress up, learnt to make a handcraft and dancing. There also have some small games there. We will go again next feb or march for their new year event.

One small tip, apply mozzie repellent b4 go in. 😂😂😂😂

Mah Meri Cultural Village is an excellent destination for those interested in learning about the unique culture and traditions of the Mah Meri people. The village offers a glimpse into the daily lives of the community, with guided tours showcasing their intricate wood carvings, traditional dances, and costumes. Visitors can also purchase authentic handicrafts and enjoy delicious local cuisine. Overall, it's a fascinating and enriching cultural experience.

Clean, quiet and beautiful. Our guide, Ms Diana, is very well versed in the demographics of the Mah Meri.

It's really good to experience compare with town area... Peaceful and gain knowledge about culture Village.

Mah Meri Cultural Village is very informative and yet so little is known of them. The "pokok besi" aka iron tree used in carving is getting scarce, and development may also threaten supply of nipah and mengkuang leaves used in traditional weaving. While there also check out Hatter Castle and other buildings dating back 1920s at Sime Darby Plantation.

Great experience and a hidden gem in my opinion.The guide was very nice with his knowdlege. Having 1 day in village with happy activities such as play in a traditional wedding. Every people in here are very friendly. Through the sharing of guide we can understand more about them.

Very educational. Friendly people and welcoming. Thank you all for a lovely time.

Interesting place to know orang asli named Mah Meri or people that live in jungle. Not that far from KL, and can continue the trip to Morib.

Wonderfully built cultural village of the Senoi Mah Meri people

Take notes that they only operate during weekends.
Very much similar to orang asli culture in Borneo island.
Love the experience of weaving using daun nipah. Recommended place to visit fir travellers.

It's nice place for studying history of orang asli malaya

I found it to be very interesting and informative. The Mah Meri have a very fascinating culture and beautiful art. You can wear their unusual woven costumes and handcarved masks to take photos. You can also learn to weave with palm leaves. Please take the time to read the information in the air-conditioned gallery to find out more about Mah Meri traditions and rituals. It's very quiet there now during the Covid-19 pandemic (they usually get many visitors from cruise ships) so it's a good time to go to have the whole place to yourself. Do go and support them!

A wonderful insight into the culture of the aboriginal Mah Meri people of Malaysia.
