Pendang, located in central Kedah, covers an area of 629 square kilometers and is surrounded by lush paddy fields, orchards, and serene landscapes. The district’s name is believed to originate from “pendiat” (kendang, a type of drum) and “lubang” (a waterhole), referring to its history as a major elephant training and breeding center in the past.
With its historical landmarks, traditional Malay villages, recreational parks, and beautiful natural retreats, Pendang offers a mix of culture, adventure, and relaxation.
