The 5th Lenggong Carnival Awaits You in July 2017
As we all know, Lenggong is famous for the discovery of nearly complete human skeletons in Southeast Asia. These human remains are known as
Perak Man and also Perak Woman
. Besides that, did you know that
Lenggong was also struck by a meteorite
? Interesting, isn't it?
The remarkable discoveries made from the past until today have led to the Lenggong Valley being recognized as a World Heritage Site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) since 2012. In conjunction with this, a grand and lively carnival will be held to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the Lenggong Valley's recognition as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
