Top 15 Attractions to Visit in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan

From hiking Gunung Ansi to visiting Centipede Temple and Jelita Ostrich Farm, Seremban makes for a fun, culture-filled getaway destination in Malaysia!

Seremban isn’t considered much of a tourist destination for those travelling to Malaysia, but there are significant things to see if you choose to travel there. Before the town was renamed to Seremban, it was called Sungai Ujong after a nearby river.

Seremban is popular for its food, shopping malls and Centipede Temple. If you want to see the unique Minangkabau architecture with your own eyes, the town of Seremban in Negeri Sembilan should be on the top of your list of destinations, but of course, that’s not all there is to experience. Below are some of the attractions you will want to check out during your trip.

1. Gunung Angsi

Start off your Seremban trip by hiking the highest peak in Negeri Sembilan, Gunung Angsi. The mountain is located within the Hulu Bendol Forest, which was established way back in 1972. Standing at 825 metres, it is the most popular hiking spot for locals staying in Negeri Sembilan. It’s also popular with local tourists from states like Selangor, Malacca and other parts of Peninsular Malaysia.

It is considered one of the toughest mountains to scale. Climbers and visitors who aren’t familiar with the forest trails are bound to get lost in it without a guide.
