Sungai Pisang Waterfall Trail
🥾 Hiking Trails · Kampung Sungai Rumput, Batu 12 Gombak, Gombak, Selangor
Barely 30 minutes from the city, this river-wading trail runs through two old railway-style tunnels to a pretty jungle waterfall. It is more splash than climb, so it is a fun first jungle trek for friends who do not do mountains.
Don't miss: Walking through the tunnels with the river flowing beside you

Bukit Tabur West
🥾 Hiking Trails · Taman Melawati / Klang Gates, Ampang, Selangor
The western half of the Klang Gates quartz ridge, and for many hikers the purer 'dragon's back' experience: a knife-edge of white quartz with the Klang Gates reservoir on one side and the KL skyline on the other. It reopened under a permit-and-guide system after years of closure, so treat it with respect and go with a licensed guide.
Don't miss: Sunrise from the quartz crest with Klang Gates Dam glowing below and the Petronas Towers on the horizon

🆓 Free Things to Do · Batu Caves, Gombak, Selangor
The 272 rainbow steps and 42.7m golden Murugan statue make this Malaysia's most recognised Hindu site. Come early, mind the cheeky macaques and dress respectfully.
