Selangor Activities

Hiking

Hiking There are 5 walking trails in the Kuala Selangor Nature Park and it is advised that you budget a couple of days to have slow strolls through the forest. Enjoy the quietness and keep your eyes and ears open, for unusual growth or movement. Get a briefing on what plants and trees to look out for! You don’t have to be a botanist to understand their scientific names. Another idea is to jot down the different bird and animal species you encounter. Please remember that the less noise...particularly talking, you do, the more wildlife you will see.

Try some Toddy




Try some Toddy Tropical countries are no exception when it comes to making booze (on the quiet) and coconut palms produce large quantities of potentially potent stuff. This alcoholic drink is processed from the fermented nectar of the palm inflorescence and is termed as "toddy". Despite the fact that this is a Muslim country, this is one alcoholic beverage you may possibly be able to bargain with a local for.
