My hometown

KUALA KUBU BHARU

Kuala Kubu Bharu, is the district capital of Hulu Selangor District, Selangor, Malaysia. It was built after the town of Kuala Kubu was found to be unfit to continue as a town due to its severe flood problem, particularly when it was completely destroyed in a flood disaster in 1883 (bharu is a Malay word meaning new). Kuala Kubu Bharu is located on the foothill of the famous Titiwangsa Mountain Range and well known as one of the vital water catchment area for the state of Selangor. 

Travel time by road from Kuala Lumpur is approximately one hour. 

WHAT YOU CAN DO IN KUALA KUBU BHARU? 

There are several things that what you can do in this beautiful place. Forgot not to mention, this place is also suitable for people who are getting retirement soon.

Chiling waterfalls

It was located on the path to Fraser's Hill are several waterfalls located in Selangor, Malaysia. The waterfalls are composed of three separate vertical waterfalls.

It took around 45min to 1hour to reach this waterfalls. There journey are not difficult at all for me, just to follow the path and slowly walk in. Slipper will be find, because I walk in with bare foot. However, to protect your own foot to avoid any injuries, please wear shoes. There will be a lot of fish, you can bring some bread to feed it. 

Bukit Kutu

Bukit Kutu or Treacher Hill is a ghost town in Selangor, Malaysia and a former hill station in Malaysia. It was classified as minor hill station by Aiken due to lack of developments that take place in this hill station due to limited growth in this area.

Picture below is me, and this is just the halfway of the mountain. It took me 2hour to reached here. 

For people who like to challenge themselves. I really suggest you to go take this challenge and try to climb Bukit Kutu. Estimate time for going up is 3 hour for an expert, as for beginners take 4 to 5 hour to climb up. However, it also depend your own strength and energy.

Kolam Air Panas Kuala Kubu Bharu 

Kuala Kubu Bharu Hot Spring is a little known hot spring in the Taman Arif area of Kuala Kubu Bharu. It was only discovered about ten years ago and local residents have not spread the word too widely so that they can enjoy the place to themselves. Now the District Council wants to make it into more of an attraction and have put up direction signs. They say they want to make it an international tourist attraction. That may be a little too ambitious but I'm sure domestic tourists would come if they know about it.

It is a natural hot from the underground's hot air. If you go at night around 7pm, the temperature of the water are perfectly match for a night bath.
