Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Bukit Melawati, also known as Melawati Hill, is a historical and scenic hill located in Kuala Selangor, Malaysia, about an hour's drive from Kuala Lumpur. It is a popular tourist destination known for its historical landmarks, picturesque views, and unique wildlife.

One of the main attractions of Bukit Melawati is the ruins of the historic fortress known as Kota Melawati, which dates back to the 18th century when it was built by Sultan Ibrahim Shah of Selangor to defend against Dutch and Bugis invaders. Visitors can explore the remnants of the fortress walls, cannons, and other structures while enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding area.

Another highlight of Bukit Melawati is the resident silvered leaf monkeys, also known as silver leaf langurs or "beruk" in Malay. These friendly and photogenic monkeys roam freely around the hill and are a delight to visitors, though it's important to observe them from a respectful distance.

Stop 2

Kampung Kuantan Firefly Park is a popular ecotourism destination located in Kuala Selangor, Malaysia. It is renowned for its breathtaking firefly displays, which occur along the mangrove-lined banks of the Selangor River. Visitors to the park can experience a magical boat ride through the mangrove forest, where thousands of fireflies illuminate the night sky with their synchronized flashing lights.

The fireflies, scientifically known as Pteroptyx tener, are a species of firefly native to the region. They gather in large numbers along the riverbanks, creating a mesmerizing spectacle that has captivated visitors for generations. The synchronized flashing patterns of the fireflies are believed to be a form of communication and mating display.
