obtained except stories from the previous people, the origin of the name “Lenggeng” is still a question mark. However, some have said that the name “Lenggeng” derived from a fish called “Tilan”, which was also known as “Langging” by the Rawa people. Over time, the name was changed to “Lenggeng” and is still used until today. Operated by the Rawa Village Homestay Co- operative, the homestay received a total of 2,521 visitors (domestic and international) in 2017, making it one of the sought-after homestays in Negeri Sembilan. According to the Chairman of Rawa Village Homestay Co-operative, Saadiah Othman, the purpose of running a homestay is to give the visitors a chance to escape
the hustle bustle of city life while enjoying the lifestyle of “nogori” (read: “negeri” means state) people, who are known for their warm hospitality and generosity. The homestay has 50 rooms that can allocate up to 100 people at the same time and other facilities that include an open hall, which is perfect for organizing events like family day, birthday party, workshop and motivational courses. While other homestays provide buggy ride for their visitors for sightseeing purpose, the Rawa Village Homestay offers their visitors horse riding, a rather unique service, which is one of its main attractions.
