2025 Hulu Selangor Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#weekendgetaways This was one of our best weekend retreats after spending weeks on end in the concrete jungle, feeling so utterly exhausted. Rumah Hutan or Forest Sanctuary is usually fully booked on weekends but we were so lucky that day to snag the last available room. Its a tiny 30 square metre house built right on the riverbank, surrounded by a lush garden, with its cozy balcony ideal for sitting and enjoying the sound of the flowing water. On the first day, it was overcast and the water turned really muddy. But the next day, when the weather cleared up, the water became so crystal clear that we spent hours swimming, playing and soaking in the river, the cold water so refreshing that we didn’t want to leave. Address : Rumah Hutan Bonda Jalan Batang Kali, Genting Highlands, Selangor. #100waysoftravel #tripblazers #urbanexplorer

#grouptravel This cafe is just located 5 minutes away from my house by driving and even since its launch around 2 years ago, it has became a good place for us and the local young people to visit to as this is the only cafe that is available in a small village here yet it offers a nice farm-themed environment overlooking the vege farm, scrumptious foods and a wide selection of coffee drinks + cakes. As a plus point, you can buy the organic vegetables here directly OR if you plan to have a 2 days 1 nights trip in the village, they do rent the accommodation as well next to the cafe!! Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

📍Sekeping Serendah Retreat This time I would like to introduce another glamping facility in Malaysia♪ All the rooms were villas, not tents🙌✨ The atmosphere of the bedrooms and pool was also very good, so I think it would look great on Instagram🥰 The kitchen was equipped with cooking utensils, so there was no problem🍳 I think it took a while for the hot water to come out of the shower (lol) It felt like a hideaway, so we didn't bother the neighbors and there was no problem playing together until late at night😂 If you're going glamping in Malaysia, be sure to try this place♪ ⚠️However, there are a lot of insects, so be careful not to get bitten by mosquitoes🦟😅 #glamping#villa#Malaysia#Selangor#🏕#🇲🇾

Serendah River Retreat is located in a rainforest / fruit plantation of about 5 acres with a natural river stream (Sungai Selaru) running across the site. There are two houses here, Brickhouse & Woodhouse which each has a private access of a river section. Access is via a residential suburb in Serendah & a short 5 minute drive via a small road leads you to this tranquil place, surrounded with large forest trees, away from the concrete jungle, a 40 minute drive away from the centre of Kuala Lumpur. You can find peace from the hustle & bustle of city life here. The serene & tranquil natural environment allows every guest to chill, relax, destress & rejuvenate. A private bridge with gates provides security. Plenty of space for car parking. BBQ & charcoal + firestarters, steamboat pots, gas stove & other kitchen tools are provided for your cooking need. As you are in the forest, you may be lucky to be occasionally spotting wildlife here. #serendahriverretreat #selangor #river

Air Terjun Sungai Lepoh is an easily accessible hiking, waterfall and picnic site located in Selangor State Park, just ten minutes’ drive from the popular Hutan Lipur Sungai Congkak and Gunung Nuang Recreational Forest as well as thirty minutes’ drive from the equally famous Gabai Waterfalls. The area the waterfalls are in is surrounded by homestays, adventure companies and mostly simple nature resorts, all easily spotted during the hour-long drive it takes to get there from Kuala Lumpur city center. A long street filled with shop houses and more adventure outfits leads to the starting point of a 1.5 hour hike that takes you inside the beautiful forest where the waterfalls are situated. Clearly-marked signs are in place throughout the easy to moderate trail, which contains a steep section that may slow down even the fittest of hikers. Lepoh Waterfalls are particularly known for its natural ‘slide’, which is a large, flat and extremely smooth rock formation that visitors often use to glide into a small lagoon near the bottom. There are also cozy gazebos and huts, perfect for family picnics, available for rent near the entrance of the hike. #naturalwonders#hiking#awesomepic#camping#nationalpark

#gentingtrip Hidden just behind the Genting buzz lies Gunung Bunga Buah—a trail that surprises you with both beauty and challenge 💪🌿 🥾 Trail Vibes: • Long and winding with a good mix of mud, roots, and rocky patches 🪵🪨 • Moderate to tough—not for the faint of knees 😅 but doable with the right mindset • Views of misty valleys and the Genting skyline in the distance—magical if you catch good weather 🌫️🌄 🌺 Why the Name? Despite being called “Mountain of Fruit Flowers,” don’t expect a garden—the name is poetic, but the real bloom is in the experience 💭🌼 🧭 What to Bring: Plenty of water, trail snacks, good grip shoes, and a buddy (unless you’re like you—cool with solo hikes) 🥤🥜👟 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ (4.2/5) For seasoned hikers or weekend warriors looking for a solid climb, Gunung Bunga Buah delivers the sweat and satisfaction 🏔️🔥

Just under an hour’s drive from Kuala Lumpur lies Kebun Hulu Yam Lama, a peaceful retreat nestled in the small, charming town of Batang Kali. True to its name, this destination sits in the heart of a lush kebun (farm) setting—surrounded by banana trees, corn stalks, and vibrant blooms, with even more greenery in development. This cozy spot features both a café and a homestay, making it perfect for a relaxing day trip or a weekend getaway. During our visit, the café was bustling with guests and all the cakes were already sold out—a sign of how popular it is! We enjoyed their iced latte, the refreshing Markisa Oren cooler, and a bottle of kombucha for a healthy touch. For a sweet bite, the classic sugar waffle was a delightful treat. Kebun Hulu Yam Lama is an ideal escape for families and couples looking to unwind, enjoy the fresh air, and experience the gentle rhythm of nature. 📍Address: 29, Jalan Patin 2, Taman Patin, Hulu Yam Lama, 44300 Batang Kali, Selangor. #cherryblossom25 #malaysiatrip #Batangkali #cafemalaysia

#favouriteitinerary Very unique and detailed wood design and craftsmanship, this place is called Rumah Hutan Terapi Alam located in Batang Kali Selangor Malaysia. At the entrance, you can park your car then continue the journey going in using their pick-up truck transfer service. Some people come here just to enjoy the foods experience inside. But many also stay inside there’s few chalet to stay. Others come for massage spa which used natural herbs from the forest. Great experience.

Batu Bertenggek Waterfall is located in the Selangor Mountains north of Kuala Lumpur, near Kerling, about 65 km from downtown Kuala Lumpur, about 1.5 hours by car. It's much farther than Kanching Waterfall, which I visited before. 🚗 Navigate to Air Terjun Batu Bertenggek [Image 2]. There is a simple parking lot at the beginning of the trail. 💰MYR 3-5 per car 👕 Clothing: Short-sleeved shirt and shorts + long-sleeved sun protection clothing + hiking shoes. If you want to get in the water, wear special wading shoes + a change of clothes. Since the trail is wild and it tends to rain in the afternoon, the road is muddy and slippery after the rain, so the soles of your shoes must have anti-slip patterns (preferably herringbone). 🎒 Other equipment: Sunscreen + mosquito repellent spray + raincoat + waterproof phone bag The hike is not difficult at first, just a dirt road through the woods. When you pass through a few open meadows, you will feel like you are in a "rice field." The mountain road down to the waterfall is steep and muddy, so be careful. It takes about half an hour to reach the waterfall. Many locals play in the river. The river is about 100 meters from the waterfall. If the water flow is small, you can wade upstream, but since it has been raining in the afternoon recently, the water flow has increased dramatically, so you can only climb up the slope next to the waterfall and walk to the side of the waterfall to feel the rushing water cascading down the 20-meter-high cliff, creating layers of mist. There is a sloping boulder directly below the waterfall, like a high wall that cuts off the water from rushing downstream, which is also the origin of the waterfall's name. Sitting by the waterfall, looking at the lush trees around you, the blue sky and white clouds above you, listening to the roar of the water and the birds in the mountains, you will feel very relaxed and sleepy. It's a great way to spend a weekend afternoon with a few friends in the mountains.

it's awesome and great experience 🔥 #malaysia #kualakububahru #outdoor #adventure #waterrafting
