Homestay Seterpa
The silent whisper of
ripening paddy fields swaying gently in the wind greets visitors, as
they step into Kampung Seterpa. Running barefoot, a small boy pushes his
small tricycle across the beaten footpath at the edge of the paddy
fields. A rooster crows loudly, breaking the deafening silence.
Located 16 kilometers from
Kota Bharu in Kelantan, Kampung Seterpa is the nearest homestay village
to the city centre. Kampung Seterpa, derived from the Kelantan dialect
‘serepak’ (meeting place), is a wonderful experience for those wanting a
taste of traditional village life.
The villagers are warm and
friendly, and immediately put you at ease with their lively chatter. Sip
a coconut (or two!) to quench your thirst and take in the beautiful
surroundings. Served with traditional pastries, ‘tepung pelita’ and
munching on local fruit, jambu air, life here is pleasant and slow
paced.
No traffic jams for miles,
just the chorus of quacking ducks, chickens and buffalo. Breathe in the
fresh, morning air as you watch the sun rise during your stay here. Make
a date with the farmers to explore the village with its many interesting
activities or even try a hand at paddy farming!
On a windy day, fly the
ubiquitous and colourful wau (kite) while running across the paths to
the paddy fields. Collect freshwater snails, see the mischievous monkey
pick a ripe coconut or dance to the tunes of the ancient ‘dikir barat’.
You’ll definitely enjoy
your stay here at Kampung Seterpa, don’t forget to share the memories!
