T here is more to Kuala Selangor attractions than just fireflies and monkeys.

This small historic town is a hidden gem with a lot for visitors to see.

Here is my Top 21 list of Kuala Selangor attractions . They are arranged in the order that they appear on the map (below), not in order of preference. It is possible (just!) to cover them all in one long, tiring day but why rush? There are places to stay at Kuala Selangor or, since it is only an hour's drive from KL, just go again another day.

Map of Kuala Selangor Attractions

1. Tanjong Keramat Fort

The ruins of this fort, also known as Bukit Belanda (literally ‘Dutch Hill’) are located on a low hill close to the mouth of the Selangor River. It was originally built by Sultan Ibrahim, the 2nd Sultan of Selangor, who reigned from 1782-1826. It was captured by the Dutch in 1784 who renamed it Fort Utrecht . The fort was a two storey structure built of granite and clay and its walls were fortified with cannons. There were two entrances, one on the north and the other on the east. The site is now overgrown with grass and there is little evidence of the structure apart from mounds where the walls once stood.

2. Makam Keramat Anak Dara

Nearby on a small rocky hill is a shrine venerated by the locals called Makam Keramat Anak Dara or Virgin’s Grave . It is accessed by a rickety wooden staircase. There is a signboard outside which tells the story of a young pious girl who was forced to marry a man she did not love. On the morning of her wedding she disappeared while washing in the river. She later appeared in a dream to her parents, asking that they not look for her as she had found a better place. The next day her clothes were found on a tree and the parents decided to build this shrine where they were found. If this happened nowadays, police would be unlikely to accept the dream explanation and might suspect foul play!

For more photos of the shrine, see my blog.

3. War Memorial

In the middle of a roundabout at the start of Jalan Keramat Tanjong (see map) is a small obelisk erected by the British to honour Allied and local soldiers who died during the two World Wars. The original bronze plaques listing the names of the fallen have been removed, probably by scrap metal thieves, and replaced by two wooden boards inscribed Medan Perwira (Bellamy) . You can find information about this war memorial on the website of the Malayan Volunteers Group.

4. Royal Mausoleum & Meriam Penggawa

The next 11 Kuala Selangor attractions can all be found on Bukit Melawati , the main hill in the heart of Kuala Selangor. To tour this hill, you can either take the Tram Ride (see below) or walk. The first building you pass is the Royal Mausoleum (Makam Diraja) . This royal burial ground contains the graves of the first three Sultans of Selangor who died in 1782, 1826 and 1857 respectively. In the grounds of the mausoleum is the Penggawa (Chief) Cannon , wrapped in yellow cloth. This cannon was found in 1966 on the banks of the Buluh River, 12km south of Kuala Selangor. The cannon is also known as Petoi Boga which means White Princess .

5. Poisoned Well

Next you will pass the poisoned well which was said to have been poisoned with a mixture of latex and itchy bamboo shoots and used to drown traitors. Some plastic water bottles appear to have been added to the mix by thoughtless litterers.

6. Traditional Games Museum

This museum was unfortunately closed during my visit. Its opening hours are supposed to be 9:30am to 5:30pm daily (closed on Mondays). Free admission.

7. Lighthouse

The Kuala Selangor Lighthouse is the town's most famous landmark and symbol. It was built in 1907 and is also known as the Altingsburg Lighthouse which was the old Dutch name for Bukit Melawati. It is 27m high and its light can be seen 18 nautical miles away. It is not open to the public.

8. Moon Viewing Pavilion

In front of the lighthouse is a modern pavilion which was built specifically for the purpose of sighting the new moon to determine the beginning and end of the Holy Month of Ramadhan and other events on the Islamic calendar.

9. Historical Museum of Kuala Selangor District

The Kuala Selangor Historical Museum (Muzium Sejarah Daerah Kuala Selangor) provides information such as the development of the town and its surrounding area, its role as a trading centre for the collection and export of tin and how Kuala Selangor became the capital of Selangor State. The museum relates 3 possible theories on how the name Selangor originated, the most colourful of which is that it comes from the words salang and jemur , referring to two types of torture which might have been carried out here. The museum contains some dioramas, displays of old weapons, specimens of old currencies and other artefacts. The museum is open daily from 9:30am - 5:30pm (closed on Mondays). Admission is free.

10. Monkeys

There are troops of loveable silver leaf monkeys (silvered langurs) who like to frequent the road and tree branches in front of the museum. This is where the tram bus stops and the monkeys have become accustomed to being fed by visitors. There are usually vendors here selling food for monkeys. They are not shy of humans at all and will take food from your hand, whether you want to give it or not! The monkeys are very cute especially the babies which are bright orange colour. The monkeys are among the most popular of Kuala Selangor Attractions.

11. Batu Hampar

This 'bedrock' is a large stone situated in the corner of what was the Sultan's garden. Some say it was used to behead traitors while others, more probably, claim it is where the Sultan used to sit to watch the sun setting over his domain while enjoying the cooling breeze which blows across this corner of the hill.

12. Melawati Fort

Nearby are some well preserved stone walls of the original fort (Kota Melawati) and cannons are strategically positioned with far reaching views over the surrounding area.

13. Melawati Mound

This 12 foot high mound was built during the reign of Sultan Ibrahim who used to observe cock fights here. It is believed that under the mound is a door to a cave which acted as the government's treasury. Could there still be treasure buried here?

14. Tram Ride

The path brings us back to the starting point of the Bukit Melawati trail which is also where the pick-up point and ticket office for the Tram ride is located. Tickets are RM5 adult and RM3 child (ages 3-12). This ride also includes the fish park (see below).

15. Taman Ikan Air Tawar

A short walk away is this small freshwater fish park with a few aquariums displaying a number of local fish species such as the Toman. There are also a couple of modest aviaries and a lotus pond. The entrance fee is RM2 for adults and RM1 for children. You can find more details on my blog .

16. Kuala Selangor Nature Park

Kuala Selangor Nature Park is made up of mangrove forest, mud flats and secondary forest habitats and is a sanctuary for many bird and animal species. Read about it here.

17. Auntie Foo

A good place to take refreshment is Auntie Foo's located in a heritage style building in the town centre. The sign outside this smart café says 'since 1935'. They sell home made ice creams , dried local seafood products and souvenir items and provide brochures and maps on local attractions. They have wifi.

18. Chinese Temple

On the opposite bank of the River Selangor are a couple of Chinese temples, one of which is called the Monkey God Temple.

19. Seafood Restaurants and shops

Next to the Kuala Selangor jetty are a few seafood restaurants and shops selling dried fish and other seafood products.

20. Fireflies at Kampung Kuantan or Firefly Park Resort

After dark the must-see Kuala Selangor attractions are the fireflies. The mangrove swamps along the banks of the Selangor River are one of a handful of places in the world where fireflies gather in such huge numbers. A firefly is a type of tiny beetle whose tail flashes on and off at night to attract mates. Kampung Kuantan and the Firefly Park Resort are two places where boats are taken out nightly to observe the firefly illuminations.

TIP: You can get a discount on Firefly Park Resort's mangrove boat ride experience by buying online through Tripcarte's secure website with instant ticketing,  refundable and hassle free e-tickets.

21. Shakti Temple Bukit Rotan

The latest of Kuala Selangor attractions is Shakti Temple at Bukit Rotan on the outskirts of Kuala Selangor. This new temple was consecrated in May 2013 and with its exquisitely decorated sandstone walls and gopuram , it will surely soon be recognised as one of the finest Hindu temples in Malaysia, if not South East Asia. You can read more about this temple on my Thrifty Traveller blog.

This completes my list of top Kuala Selangor attractions but if you feel there any that I have overlooked please let me know.

2. Sky Mirror

During low tide, the Sky Mirror I sland reflects an image of the sky, which makes it one of the most impressive attractions of the country. The island remains submerged during high tide and shows its magic during low tide.

The island has been named so because of the mirror image of the sky that it creates. Not only the sky, but anyone or anything standing above it will also get a mirror image. Because of this magical mirror effect, hundreds to thousands of local tourists gather here to get a glimpse of the magical place and click some epic shots.

Sky Mirror is basically a seabed that appears only for a few hours during low tide. The island is huge, most probably as huge as a hundred football fields.

3. Bukit Melawati

The relics of the past, the Altingsburgh Lighthouse, a large rock slab named Batu Hampar, and the Poisoned Well are the highlights of the hillfort Bukit Melawati or Melawati Hill. The hillfort was the administrative centre of the Selangor Sultanate in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

Bukit Melawati was constructed by the local Malays during the 16th century. The Dutch captured the fort during the early 18th century. Later on, in the late 18th century, Sultan Ibrahim recaptured the fort with the help of his two brothers, Penggawa Tua and Bendahara Adb. However, the fort was destroyed during the Klang War (also known as the Selangor Civil War).

For those who are interested in the history of Bukit Melawati, there are several remnants, a few leftover cannons and foundation stones at the location. The main highlights attract several curious tourists every year. Moreover, Kuala Selangor Historical Museum is a few steps away from Melawati Hill. The museum displays ancient weapons, collections of relics, artefacts, specimens of old currencies, dioramas, etc.

If you aren’t much interested in historical stuff, let me tell you that Melawati Hill is home to the local long-tailed macaques and silvered leaf monkeys. The silvered leaf monkeys at Melawati Hill are accustomed to human presence but feeding the monkeys is highly discouraged. Another mentionable thing here is that the top of the hill offers an excellent panoramic view of the Straits Of Malacca and a beautiful sunset.

Location: Bukit Melawati 45000 Kuala Selangor, Selangor

4. Tram Ride

When you are in Kuala Selangor, you shouldn’t miss a tram ride. Trams go from the bottom of Melawati Hill to the top. You can enjoy the panoramic views of Kuala Selangor as you go uphill on a tram. The price of tickets during weekends is RM 5 for adults and RM 3 for children aged between 3-12 years.

5. Perigi Beracun

Perigi Beracun or the Poisoned Well is a mentionable reason why people visit Bukit Melawati. There’s an interesting history behind this well. People say that the water of the well had been contaminated by a watery solution mixed with irritants, such as latex and bamboo shoots, that causes itchiness. 

It was made such to punish the traitors of the sultan. They were dropped into the well and the contaminated water would rise to the height of their chin and cause them great distress. Now, it has been covered with iron grates for health and safety. So, the curious visitors may have a close-range view of the well. 

6. Royal Mausoleum

Royal Mausoleum, the burial ground for the first three Sultans of Selangor, closed to the general public, is also located near Bukit Melawati. Overall, you can learn a lot about the local history of Kuala Selangor from Bukit Melawati and its nearby attractions.

Location: Bukit Melawati, 45000 Kuala Selangor, Selangor, Malaysia.

7. Blue Tears

Blue Tears is an impressive natural nighttime phenomenon formed due to the glowing light produced by clusters of certain marine algae named Dinoflagellates. The phenomenon occurs when the water is disturbed by motion.

Blue Tears is also known as fireflies in the water. Generally, such phenomena are seen on the seashore, but in Kuala Selangor, you can witness it at the meeting point of the Selangor River and the Straits of Malacca.

The best time to enjoy the scenic beauty of Blue Tears is during the 1st, 2nd and 3rd days of the month on the lunar calendar. Also, during warmer months, Blue Tears is in its best state as the algae grow in higher concentrations.

15. Mangrove Boardwalk

There’s a beautiful boardwalk in Kuala Selangor Nature Park. However, it’s not in a good condition right now. It is actually made of concrete. But as it remains covered in dead leaves most of the time, it becomes quite slippery underfoot.

Also, the wooden railings are broken in places so you must be very careful if you are taking children along. However, a walk over the boardwalk among the green mangrove trees can be very fascinating.

16. Sri Shakti Devasthanam Temple

Sri Shakti Devasthanam Temple is a Hindu Temple that was constructed based on Hindu architectural scriptures. It is located around 9.5 km from Kuala Selangor town centre and is sited on an elevated land of around 1 acre. The temple is considered to be a shining beacon of Hindu architectural excellence.

During the late 19th or early 20th century, Indian immigrants who came to Malaysia built a small wooden shrine in Bukit Rotan. That’s how Sri Shakti Devasthanam Temple came into being. Formerly, the temple was known as Sri Maha Mariamman Temple.

The temple was reconstructed in 2001 in adherence to the ancient Aghamas and Hindu scriptures. Before the reconstruction, all preliminary poojas were carried out. Sri Shakti Devasthanam Temple is probably the first and the only temple in Malaysia that was constructed after holding all the preliminary rituals.

10 million bricks, 100 tonnes of granite, 20,000 tonnes of steel bars, 25 tonnes of teakwood, 1,500 cubic metres of concrete, and 1.2 million person-hours were needed to construct the temple. It is encircled by a massive decorative wall, and the magnificent entrance is a multi-tiered shrine soaring 74 feet high. The entrance was sculptured with granite frames weighing up to 4 tonnes. It was carved by skilled craftsmen of Mahabalipuram in Tamilnadu, India.

Annually, around 10 important Hindu festivals and auspicious dates are celebrated in the temple. Monthly, festivals like Sanggadahara Chathurthi, Pournami, Amavasai and Pratyangara Homa are observed in Sri Shakti Devasthanam Temple . On a daily basis, poojas are conducted 5 times to ensure the blessings of Mother Shakti Mari Amman upon her devotees. Other than daily prayers, there are sets of different pooja packages for the devotees to sponsor and participate in.

Overall, Sri Shakti Devasthanam Temple, with its beautiful architectural and sculptural designs, and unique features, is a shining example of the best Indian architecture in Malaysia.

Qi Jian Xian Shi Fo Zu Gu Miao , dedicated to Lord Buddha, is a famous tourist attraction in Kuala Selangor with unique architecture. It is a two-level temple and its upper level is an artificial cave. 

The ground floor of the temple consists of the main prayer hall. Both the floors are connected by a prayer of grand staircases. The upper level of the temple was designed to imitate a mountainous scene. 

The main deity of Qi Jian Xian Shi Fo Zu Gu Miao is Di Zang Wang Pu Sa. He is one of the four principal bodhisattvas in East Asian Mahayana Buddhism. Bodhisattvas are people who made resolutions to become a Buddha and also received a confirmation or prediction from a living Buddha that they will become a Buddha.

If we translate the name of Di Zang Wang Pu Sa, it will mean Earth Treasury, Earth Store, Earth Matrix, or Earth Womb. He is popular for his vow to take responsibility for the instruction of all beings in the six worlds between the death of Gautama Buddha and the rise of Maitreya. He also took a vow not to achieve Buddhahood until all hells are emptied.

That’s why he is often regarded as the bodhisattva of hell-beings, guardian of children and patron deity of deceased children and aborted fetuses in Japanese culture.

Redang Beach is a popular tourist attraction in Sekinchan near Kuala Selangor. It is also a famous shooting area of different local and international dramas. Some of the scenes for Outbound Love, a famous Hong Kong drama was shot here.

The beach is famous for its wishing tree, shorebirds, waterfowl, and numerous seafood vendors. The sad thing is that you can’t do swimming, diving, or snorkelling on this beach.

Sekinchan Wishing Tree, a huge tree with thousands of red ribbons dangling from its branches is a must-see attraction in Redang beach. Although I don’t believe in such stuff, but if you do, you can make a wish by tying a red ribbon with coins around the branch of the tree.

The local seafood restaurants in the area serve the best seafood. You can watch the sunset from the beach or play with soap bubbles and fly a kite. However, don’t mistake the Redang beach for Pulau Redang. Pulau Redang is a beautiful island off the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia.

Swimming, diving, or snorkelling are allowed in Pulau Redang and there are around thousands of differences between Redang beach and Pulau Redang. Honestly, Redang beach is not even near to Pulau Redang in terms of beauty. But it still is worth a visit, especially for budget travellers. 

Location: 25, Jalan Jpt, 45400 Sekinchan, Selangor, Malaysia.

25. Batu Caves Sri Subramaniar Swamy Temple

The Batu Caves Temple, also known as the Sri Subramaniar Swamy Temple, is a monumental focal point of the contribution of the Indian settlers in the development of Malaya and Malaysia. The temple is around 113 years old inside a cave that is about 400 feet above ground level. The temple is dedicated to Lord Subramaniar.

There’s an interesting history behind the establishment of the temple. You can learn about it on your visit to the temple. The Batu Caves is said to be nature’s wonder. It is a 400 million-year-old limestone hill formed with beautiful stalactites and stalagmites. It is also a shelter to some of the rarest species of flora and fauna.

Due to the presence of such wonder, the Malaysian government recognized the place as a religious and cultural centre for the Indians and Hindus residing in Malaysia. Major architectural plans are being made to facilitate the worship of all Hindu deities in the temple.

At the entrance of the steps of Sri Subramaniar Swamy Temple, a 130 feet tall statue of Lord Muruga is under construction. Once completed it will be the tallest Lord Muruga statue in the world.

Location: Batu 2, Jalan Klang, 45000 Kuala Selangor, Selangor Darul Ehsan, 45000 Kuala Selangor, Selangor, Malaysia.

Opening Hours: Everyday | 7:00 am – 10:00 am, 6:55 pm – 9:15 pm

26. Sri Anggala Parameswary Peachiamman Temple

Sri Anggala Parameswary Peachiamman Temple is another famous temple in Kuala Selangor. The temple is around 100 years old, and a lot of tourists come to visit it from faraway locations. They come to Sri Anggala Parameswary Peachiamman to worship Amma, the main deity of the temple. They believe that it is a very powerful temple, and all their wishes might come true after praying here.

According to the local people, Amma’s statue on the ground was formed by nature and it’s not man made. Back in those days, it was a very small temple. The local people who used to pray there about 40 years ago say that the temple used to be dark and scary. There were also no proper roads then.

But now as the temple has gained much public attention, many changes have been made to the temple. Even the road to the temple is now drive-worthy. Surrounding the temple, there are many old palm oil trees that make the area look beautiful. Sri Anggala Parameswary Peachiamman mainly remains crowded during weekends and public holidays.

Location: Kampung Bukit Belimbing, 45500 Kuala Selangor, Selangor, Malaysia

Opening Hours: Everyday | 9:00 am – 5:00 pm

27. Kota Tanjung Keramat

Kota Tanjung Keramat is a fort that was built by Sultan Muhammad in the year 1830. A major portion of the fort was built from soil despite that it was a very strong defence fort. It is square in shape with two entrances. The main entrance of the fort has a width of 7 metres and is facing the north direction. 

The lane from the entrance is curved towards the east side leading to a staircase. The staircase goes down to Pangkalan Bagan Pasir. The other entrance is facing the east side and it was considered an emergency entrance for the army in the fort to get out to bring news from Kota Melawati. When the Dutch captured Kuala Selangor, this fort was renamed Fort Utrecht. They renamed it after their ship.

It’s a great place to learn more about the history of Kuala Selangor. That’s why lots of tourists come to this historical landmark.

Location: Jalan Tanjong Keramat, 45000 Kuala Selangor, Selangor, Malaysia.

28. Virgin’s Grave

Virgin’s Grave , also known as Makam Keramat Anak Dara or Keramat Rubiah, is located at the small village named Kampong Tanjung Keramat. The village is small and situated at the last point of land at the mouth of the river Selangor.

The grave is on a small rocky hill. The sides of the hill have steepened by quarrying. You can climb up to the keramat by the rickety wooden steps. Virgin’s Grave is a white tiled rectangle protected inside a walled structure. There’s a signboard outside the grave to let visitors know the history behind it. 

I don’t know why they call it a grave because it’s actually not a grave but a shrine. It is the shrine of an 18-year-old girl, Siti Aishah who ran away from her home to avoid a forced marriage. She was never found but her clothes were found hanging on a tree. So, her parents decided to build a shrine in her honour. It’s local folklore that is written on the signboard, and I think it’s quite interesting and counts as a reason to visit the place.

Behind the Virgin’s Grave, there is a beautiful lake. It was formed due to the excavations of the Japanese during the War. Probably that’s why it was named Lake Shima (Shima means island in Japanese) .

Location: Makam Keramat Anak Dara, Tanjung Keramat, Kuala Selangor, Selangor, Malaysia.

Pondoque Le Ngaju

Pondoque Le Ngaju is a beautiful park in Kuala Selangor. It is a nice place to spend time with family, friends, and children. 

Location: 642-1, Jalan Datuk Mansor, Kg Bukit Badong, Btg Berjuntai, 45000 Kuala Selangor, Selangor, Malaysia.

29. Masjid Ar-Raudhah

On the northern coast of Selangor, Masjid Ar-Raudhah is a beautiful mosque at a 19 minutes driving distance from Kuala Selangor. It is located along the main road of Federal Route 5, within the town area of Tanjung Karang.

Masjid Ar-Raudhah was inaugurated by the DYMM Sultan of Selangor on the 16th of June 1989. It has a congregational capacity of 1,000 with comfortable prayer rooms for men and women, an ablution place, car park, store, endowment, imam and Bilal room, and hearse. There are also 5 lots of shops, a library, garden, imam and Bilal house.

The fame of Masjid Ar-Raudhah is due to its beautiful infrastructure. It has a two-storey prayer hall topped with a gilded onion-like dome. The prayer hall is surrounded by 6-storey minarets. Each minaret is topped with a cupola topped with a small onion-like dome.

Talking about the overall architecture of the mosque, it is rectangular in shape with 10 domes and 5 towers. The walls of Masjid Ar-Raudhah are decorated with beautiful calligraphy. Religious programs such as lectures and religious ceremonies are regularly organized in the mosque. Another speciality of this mosque is that the mosque management committee has held a special Mosque Youth Club for youths.

Location: Taman Seri Desa, 45500 Tanjung Karang, Selangor, Malaysia.

30. Boat Cafe

Boat Cafe is a must-visit on your journey to Kuala Selangor. Even though the boat is still, it’s a great place for romantic dinners and spending some quality time. I have also mentioned some other famous cafes in Kuala Selangor below.

Location: 10, Jalan Feri Lama, Pasir Penambang, 45000 Kuala Selangor, Selangor, Malaysia.

Opening Hours: Monday, Thursday & Friday | 3:30 pm – 10:30 pm

Saturday & Sunday | 11:30 am – 10:30 pm

(Closed on Tuesday & Wednesday)

I have already mentioned the best places to eat in Kuala Selangor at the end of my article. So, I won’t be much detailed here. But trying out the seafood in Kuala Selangor is a must whether you go there for a day or a week. Varieties of seafood are available, halal restaurants are available too, so, what’s the harm in trying?

How to Reach Kuala Selangor from KL

By Bus: From Medan Pasar Bus Hub, which is basically a bus stop, you can get on the Selangor Bus No. 100. The bus leaves KL every half-an-hour, starting from 6:30 am to 7:30 pm. It reaches the Bandar Malawati bus terminal within 2 hours.

If you want to come back to KL by night, you can get on a return bus. The last bus that returns from Kuala Selangor to KL is at 7:00 pm. The fare of a one-way journey to Kuala Selangor is RM 9.00. You can also board a Cityliner bus to Kuala Selangor from Klang.

By Taxi: If you decide to go to Kuala Selangor by taxi, be ready to pay high fares. However, you can reach your destination within an hour if you decide to go by cab. A taxi trip from KL to Kuala Selangor might cost you around RM 80 to RM 150. You can negotiate if you book the taxi for the return trip as well.

By Car: If you face no problem driving for a long time, you can drive to Kuala Selangor. There are two routes from KL to Kuala Selangor. You can either drive towards the Sungai Buloh exit from the North-South highway and follow the road signs towards Kuala Selangor, or you can start your journey from Klang and drive towards Kapar and head straight from there towards Kuala Selangor.

How To Get Around Kuala Selangor

As Kuala Selangor is a relatively small town, there is no public transport system. So, you have to walk around the area to explore it or take a taxi. However, a tram goes up and down Bukit Melawati, so you won’t have to hike your way up there.

Best Time to Visit Kuala Selangor

We can’t specify a particular time to visit Kuala Selangor as all attractions aren’t in their best forms during the same season. However, if you want to know the best time to visit the place based on low crowds and costs, it is during the month of February.

In this small town, huge crowds are seen in June, July and August, so the hotels and flights become expensive. During Winter, it is comfortable to plan a trip to Kuala Selangor. So, overall, December-January will be the best time to visit Kuala Selangor due to the low crowd, inexpensiveness, and comfortable weather.

Kuala Lumpur International Airport is 105 kilometers (65 miles) away.

Best Restaurants in Kuala Selangor

As Kuala Selangor is near the Selangor River, seafood is the main food of the local people living here. Popular seafood can be found here very easily and also at a reasonable price.

Kuala Selangor Day Trip – 29 Things To Do In Kuala Selangor

There are plenty of things to do in Kuala Selangor for a day trip! In fact, most of the activities listed here can be found very close to or at Bukit Melawati .

And there are ample hotels in Kuala Selangor and/or homestays in Kuala Selangor to help make your stay more comfortable.

Because there’s a lot to cover, we’re going to break this post down into a few sections:

• Bukit Melawati

Food In Kuala Selangor

Bonus – banting: bukit jugra, bukit melawati kuala selangor.

Bukit Melawati (or Melawati Hill) is a hill in Malaysia near Kuala Selangor that attracts visitors daily, especially on the weekends!

There is no entrance fee and everyone can come and enjoy the scenery and fresh air here!

From the top of the hill, you can see the Straits of Malacca as well as a couple of other landmarks:

1. Seek History At Tanjong Keramat Fort

In the nearby village called Kampong Tanjung Keramat :

You can look for Tanjong Keramat Fort or Bukit Belanda (“Dutchill”) – this is a 2-storey granite and clay building that was built by Sultan Ibrahim, the 2nd Sultan of Selangor and taken over by the Dutch in 1784 .

The walls of the fort and the cannons are not there anymore but you can see the remains of the foundations .

2. Learn About The Legend Surrounding Virgin’s Grave (or Makam Keramat Anak Dara)

Also, in Kampong Tanjung Keramat is a small shrine on a hill that has a sad story tied to it. You can read about it from the signboard outside the shrine.

3. Gaze Upon The War Memorial At Kuala Selangor

Built by the British to commemorate their fallen comrades as well as Malaysian soldiers who lost their lives in World War I and II , visitors can still visit this war memorial today:

Note: The memorial is at the roundabout for Jalan Keramat Tanjong in Kuala Selangor.

However, instead of the original bronze plaques (which were probably stolen), there are now wooden ones that carry the names of the fallen soldiers.

Address: http://bit.ly/memorialkualaselangor

4. Check Out The Poisoned Well

Have you ever heard of people using itch as a torture method?

In its days of use, the poisoned well supposedly contained liquid rubber and scratchy bamboo shoots .

Traitors were possibly drowned here too.

Note: Please don’t throw your litter down here!

5. Admire The Altingsburg Lighthouse

This 27m tall landmark is the symbol of the town.

Its origins date back to 1907 . Today, it is still lit up from 7pm to 6am and the light can be seen 18 nautical miles away.

Visitors cannot go up the lighthouse without special permission. But the Bukit Melawati tram ride makes a stop here.

And because it is a lighthouse, it has good views of the waterways – Straits of Melaka as well as Selangor river .

6. Stop By The Historical Museum Historical Museum of Kuala Selangor (Muzium Sejarah Daerah Kuala Selangor)

Admission to this museum is free and it is here that you can learn about the development of the town. And how Kuala Selangor served as a trading centre for the tin mining industry.

Did you know that Kuala Selangor was the very first capital of the State of Selangor?

It will likely you take you less than an hour to browse through the dioramas, old weapons and other artifacts .

Address: http://bit.ly/Historymuseum

Opening hours: 9:30am to 5:30pm

7. See Silver Leaf Monkeys

These aren’t like the usual brown and bold monkeys that are spread all over Malaysia.

Silver leaf monkeys have dark grey fur and a somewhat gentler disposition (but that doesn’t mean you should let your guard down!).

Bukit Melawati is a great opportunity to see one up close (and for free !). The babies are especially adorable with their persimmon-colored fur !

Despite there being many vendors selling food for the monkeys, do not feed them as it makes them too dependent on humans!

Note: The practice also attracts the more aggressive monkeys!

8. Look Out For Batu Hampar

At Bukit Melawati, you will probably wander across this strange stone feature!

It might look like a normal stone bench but it has history behind it:

There is a claim that the then-ruling Sultan sat here in his garden to watch many sunsets on the hill.

Another more gruesome speculation includes the stone being used to behead traitors a long time ago.

9. Explore Melawati Fort (Kota Melawati)

Unlike the Tanjong Keramat Fort mentioned earlier in this list:

You can still see some of the walls and plenty of the cannons of Melawati Fort!

Take some time to notice the strategic positions of the cannons that overlook the fort’s surroundings!

10. Find Melawati Hill Mound

Melawati Mound is also referred to as Busut Melawati .

The 12-foot-high mound was where Sultan Ibrahim used to watch cockerel fights!

Built during his reign, the mound is on the flat part of a small hill with an ancient Angsana tree close by.

11. Take The Tram Ride Up Bukit Melawati

For adults, the slow ride up the hill may not be particularly exciting. But kids will be thrilled!

You can buy tickets at the entrance of Bukit Melawati at the base of the hill in front of the car park.

Price: RM5 adult and RM3 child (ages 3-12)

12. Peek At The Royal Mausoleum Of Bukit Melawati

By the way, as you make your way down (on foot) from Bukit Melawati, you will see this royal structure !

It’s fenced up to prevent public access but the building is nice to admire!

Address: http://bit.ly/Royalmausoleum

How To Go To Bukit Melawati

You have 3 options – to walk, drive or take the tram up from the entrance to the top of the hill!

I. The Tram Service

Tram Operation Hours: Saturday, Sunday & Public Holiday

Time: 9.00am-6.00pm. The tram doesn’t operate on weekdays.

Ticket Price: Adult – RM5, Children – RM3

Got your own car?

II. Driving Your Car Up

Visitors can drive their own cars up. You can drive up too on the weekends, outside of tram operation hours .

Tip – On a weekend, they let people drive up their cars around 6pm . Officially after 6pm .

III. Using Your Legs

But honestly if you are able-bodied, it’s not a difficult climb up to Bukit Melawati.

The path goes up the road and in less than 10 minutes , you will see the bleached-white lighthouse on top of the hill.

13. Wander Through Kuala Selangor Nature Park (Taman Alam)

The 324 hectares sanctuary is managed by the Malaysian Nature Society (MNS).

Because the park consists mostly of mangroves, mud flats and secondary jungle , you can expect to see many species of birds here ( ~156 species with 57 migratory types)!

You might even spot otters here!

Some common animals you will probably see are fiddler crabs and monkeys !

Address: http://bit.ly/Naturepark

Opening hours:  9am to 6:00pm.

Entrance fee: RM4 (adult), RM1 (student and children below 16)

Note: Malaysian Nature Society members pay RM2.

14. Go On A Boat Tour To Watch Kuala Selangor Fireflies

As the evening approaches, tours gear up to take people out to see Kuala Selangor’s best known attraction: Fireflies!

This is the place to see thousands (now hundreds) of fireflies light up the mangroves along the banks of Selangor River !

Book your ticket now via Klook:

15. Join Eagle Feeding (Or Not)

Something else that’s popular around here is sea eagle feeding!

You hop on a boat with other tourists, and the tour company will take you guys along the river .

The beautiful birds will gather soon enough as the tour guides throw out pieces of raw chicken meat for them to catch mid-air!

Many tour operators combine this activity with other popular  Kuala Selangor attractions  (like the fireflies).

However, we strongly advise our readers not to go for these tours as this encourages unnatural behaviour among the eagles (e.g., they don’t eat their usual prey causing an inbalance in the local ecosystem). Besides, raw chicken is just unsanitary!

Bonus: Dine At 天空号 Boat Cafe @ Sky Mirror

Ever dined on a boat before?

This may be stationary boat but the atmosphere is no less romantic ! They have alcohol, cheesecake, and Korean snacks ! Certainly not a bad way to end a day of exploring!

You can conveniently time your visit here after a firefly tour too!

Address: 10, Jalan Feri Lama, Pasir Penambang, 45000 Kuala Selangor, Selangor

Opening hours: Weekdays from 3:30pm to 10:30pm and weekends from 11:30am to 10:30pm (Closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays)

Contact: +6016-223 4788

Kuala Selangor Beaches

There are two beaches that you can visit in Kuala Selangor and each are great spots for viewing the sunset!

The beaches are an hours’ drive apart .

And Pantai Redang is up north while Pantai Remis is south, not far from Jeram .

16. Remis Beach (Pantai Remis)

This small beach often has crowds of people on weekends and public holidays even though it is not suitable for swimming!

Popular activities include trying the fresh seafood sold at the beach, flying kites, fishing and watching the sunset , of course!

Note: Parking can be a struggle with limited parking spots!

17. Redang Beach (Pantai Redang)

Redang beach may share the same names as Redang Island (Pulau Redang) in Terengganu but unlike its namesake, Redang beach at Kuala Selangor is  not ideal for snorkelling, diving or even swimming !

However, this is a local hot spot during the evenings.

And occasionally, you might see some migratory birds flying by!

There’s plenty of space for kids to fly kites !

A small Chinese temple and a wishing tree are also close by and worth a quick look!

Other beaches in Kuala Selangor .

Note: Parking is frustrating here too.

While Kuala Selangor isn’t famous for its food, it does have a few establishments that have made their own mark on the town.

18. Auntie Foo Cafe

This quaint cafe is a popular spot for breakfast and is housed in a heritage building in the middle of town.

Popular menu items include their homemade ice-cream ! Western dishes are available on the menu too besides local favorites like nasi lemak. All of which you can enjoy in the air-conditioned environment.

Another must-try at this cafe is the cendol.

They also sell dried local seafood and other souvenirs .

And if you need a  map  on local attractions, you can pick up one here! Or use their complimentary WiFi  to do some research.

Address: 1, Jalan Raja Abdullah, Kuala Selangor, 45000 Kuala Selangor, Selangor

Opening hours: 8:30am to 6:30pm (Closed on Fridays)

19. Auntie Kopitiam

A bit closer to Bukit Melawati is the sister of Auntie Foo:

The theme at this cafe is the classic old-style Malaysian coffee shop ( kopitiam )!

In fact, it is a typical Hainanese coffee shop. With early opening hours.

You can expect to find these items on the menu:

• Toast with homemade kaya
• Hainanese chicken chop

Of these, the nasi lemak and curry mee are safe orders to make!

Address: C-3, Jalan Sultan Ibrahim, 45000 Kuala Selangor, Selangor

Opening hours: 8am to 4pm (Closed on Sundays)

20. Café Lumière

If you want something a little fancier and closer to Kuala Lumpur, then this cafe might suit you better:

Besides the delicious western food , you will not fail to appreciate the decor!

They have daily specials here like  bangers and mash, sticky lemon chicken and spaghetti bolognese .

Moreover, the  coffee  will not disappoint! And if coffee is not your thing, they have  specialized tea and Kombucha !

However, ordering around 5 items can quickly accumulate to RM100+ so make sure to clarify the prices before placing your orders.

Address: 50, Jalan Stesen, Kuala Selangor, 45000 Kuala Selangor, Selangor

Opening hours: 12pm to 7pm (Closed on Tuesdays)

Note: For a small town cafe, it comes across as very pricey.

21. Cendol Bakar At Kampung Assam Jawa

If you feel like having some cendol to beat the heat, you can try this one:

Cendol Bakar is a typical Malaysian roadside stall . Prices are low and unfortunately, so is the hygiene standard.

The word “Bakar” (which means burnt in Malay) comes from the gula melaka used in preparation of this particular cendol.

Besides their namesake dessert, you can get other Malay dishes here like  mee undang  here! Their laksa is recommended too.

Address: Lot 170, Batu 25 1/4, Jalan Klang, Kg Assam Jawa, 45700 Kuala Selangor, Selangor

Opening hours: 11am to 7pm (they open earlier at 10am on Saturdays and Sundays!)

22. Kedai Kopi Shin Lok 新乐茶室

If you were thinking of checking out Remis Beach (Pantai Remis) anyways, then it’s worth stopping here for the steamed buns !

Note: This is a 20 minute+ drive from Bukit Melawati!

Steamed buns ( pau ) of various fillings are sold here:

Vegetable  is one of their more popular flavors and sell out pretty quick! And if you’ve never tried  kaya  made with coconut jam and duck eggs before, here’s your chance!

They also have other snacks here like  taro dumplings and curry puffs . Meanwhile, the coffee  is great too! Be sure to call ahead to check what paus are still available to avoid disappointment.

Address: 1, Jalan Kenari 1, Taman Kenari, Sungai Sembilang, 45800 Jeram, Kuala Selangor, Selangor

Phone: +603-3264 7591

Business hours: 7am to 5pm (Closed on Mondays)

23. Beggar Chicken in Ijok

30 minutes’ drive from Kuala Selangor is the small town of Ijok.

The reputable restaurant that sells the dish “ beggar chicken ” is found in an unlikely place:

A house hidden  near an oil palm plantation where the tables are within the compound of the house. There’s no air con here so prepare yourself for the heat if you’re coming for lunch.

Most importantly, make a phone reservation first before dropping by! As they may not be accepting dine-in guests on the day of your visit.

Other than the beggar chicken, you can order other Chinese dishes like:

• Stir-fried cos lettuce (yau mak)
• Glutinous rice (八宝饭) – beware of the large serving! Fit for 6-8people!
• Pork maw soup
• Braised pig trotters
• Salted egg rice

Don’t forget to try their signature, home-made kumquat (金桔) drink !

Note: The beggar chicken made here is not too dry and has a strong taste of Chinese herbs.

Address: No. 24 Tokong Jalan Bagan, Pasir Penambang, 45500 Kuala Selangor, Selangor

Sri Shakti Devasthanam Temple

It’s best to stop here on your way to Kuala Selangor. Or when you’re making your way back down to Kuala Lumpur.

This stunning temple is one of the finest Hindu temples in Malaysia with its intricately carved sandstone walls !

Besides this, all manifestations of 51 Shakti Peedam (collected from 51 holy sites across South Asia) are here!

If you drop by at night , the temple is lit up too!

Address: Jalan Kuala Selangor, Bukit Rotan, 45700 Bukit Rotan, Selangor

Note: Any photography of the inside is strictly not allowed!

This is a good spot for hiking or …paragliding !

To get to Bukit Jugra  will involve some weaving through a small kampung (a.k.a village/rural) area. You can also hike or cycle up this hill as some people chose to do.

Or you can drive up . It’s quite steep but you do not need a 4-wheel drive just yet.

You don’t really have an excuse to visit Kuala Selangor if you stay in the Klang valley and you have your own car and a free weekend!

Even one day would suffice to see some of the best that Kuala Selangor has to offer as it’s only an hour’s drive away north of Malaysia’s capital city of Kuala Lumpur and 2.5 hours’ drive south from Ipoh!

Tan Sri Noh Omar. -filepic

HULU SELANGOR: Former Umno veteran Tan Sri Noh Omar praised MCA for having dignity after it decided to sit out of the Kuala Kubu Baharu by-election when Barisan Nasional endorsed a DAP candidate.

According to Noh, Kuala Kubu Baharu was traditionally an MCA seat.

“It was formerly an MCA seat and the Barisan chairman just announced that MCA is not contesting this seat.

“That is why MCA was upset. MCA has dignity and integrity. I respect MCA leaders for having dignity,” said Noh at a ceramah at Batang Kali on Wednesday (May 1) night.

ALSO READ: Wee: MCA not a hypocrite

Noh also said he was amazed at Gerakan for giving way to Bersatu to contest the seat despite losing the seat in the last state elections.

“This shows unity and respect among one another. Unlike Barisan,” added Noh.

The Kuala Kubu Baharu state seat was held by MCA from 1986 until 2013 when it fell to DAP’s Lee Kee Hiong.

Lee held the seat from 2013 until this year when she passed away after a battle with cancer.

Last month, MCA had announced that it would sit out of the Kuala Kubu Baharu by-election.

The Kuala Kubu Baharu state seat is seeing a four-cornered fight between Pakatan Harapan’s Pang Sock Tao, Perikatan Nasional’s Khairul Azhari Saut, Independent Nyau Ke Xin and Parti Rakyat Malaysia’s Hafizah Zainudin.
