Bukit Kutu (Treacher's Hill)
🥾 Hiking Trails · Kampung Pertak, Hulu Selangor, Kuala Kubu Bharu, Selangor
Selangor's classic tough day hike climbs from the Pertak river to a 1,053 m summit with the ruins of a colonial hill station, rickety ladders and sweeping views of the Selangor Dam. Finish with a freezing river dip at the bottom; that is the reward lah.
Don't miss: The summit boulders and old hill-station ruins, then the Sungai Pertak swim

Gunung Ulu Semangkok (via Gunung Gap)
🥾 Hiking Trails · The Gap, Hulu Selangor, Kuala Kubu Bharu, Selangor
Starting at 863 m by the old Gap resthouse means cool air from the first step, and the trail climbs through mossy montane forest to Gunung Gap and on to the 1,394 m Ulu Semangkok summit. A favourite with birders and anyone who wants highland forest without the Cameron crowds.
Don't miss: Mossy forest between Gunung Gap and the summit
Gunung Rajah (via Kuala Kubu Bharu)
🥾 Hiking Trails · Kampung Pertak, Hulu Selangor, Kuala Kubu Bharu, Selangor
At about 1,680 m on the Selangor–Pahang border, Gunung Rajah is one of the toughest peaks reachable from KL, with river crossings, a near-vertical roped rock face and a long night-to-night push. Strictly for fit, experienced hikers with a licensed guide.
