Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Bukit Melawati, Kuala Selangor Malaysia
Upon arriving Kuala Selangor, head to Kota Melawati (formerly known as Fort Altingsburg) located on Bukit Melawati, a hill at the mouth of the Selangor River. Explore the ruins of this old fort and see cannons and other artifacts from the early 1900s that overlook the expansive wetlands at the base of the hill.
Here, you’ll also see the Royal Mausoleum — a royal burial ground containing the graves of the first three Sultans of Selangor — as well as the legendary 100 staircase, which was created as a means to climb up Selangor Hill but is also a fabled execution block.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Kuala Selangor Nature Park (Taman Alam Kuala Selangor), Jalan mkampong indiya sungai terap Klang, Selangor, Kuala Selangor 45000 Malaysia
Head to Kuala Selangor Nature Park at the foot of Bukit Melawati, where your guide will help point out migratory birds. If you’re lucky, you may spot silvered-leaf monkeys and rare species of bird and butterflies native to this region.

Stop At: Kampung Kuantan Firefly Park, Batang Berjuntal, Kuala Selangor Malaysia
At dusk, proceed to a nearby fishing village for a seafood dinner.
After dinner, take a short drive to Kampung Kuantan to board a typical Malaysian wooden row boat. Relax and enjoy the lush scenery as your skilled oarsmen row upstream through mangroves. As you enter the darkness of the night, you’ll witness one of nature’s most incredible phenomena – tiny twinkling lights of thousands of fireflies swarming among the trees. This is truly a magical sight!
