Cheap Travel - Selangor: Selayang Hot Spring


Selayang Hot Spring is very well taken care

Cheap Travel heard about Selayang Hot Spring from friends. In the first place, it is quite hard to believe that we can enjoy such natural beauty so near to KL.

Selayang Hot Springs has been upgraded to be a tourist attraction recently. There are 3 pools available enough to attract visitor with the curative properties for muscle aches and minor skin conditions such as rashes. It is believed that the mineral content of the waters such as sulphur, helps in the healing process.

Of the three pools, the one under the shade of trees is the most popular. Visitors like to sit on the edge of the circling wall to relax. This is also the hottest pool; the other two have lower temperatures. In these two pools, it is possible to dip oneself into the pool, but some people prefer to use a bucket to scoop water from the pool to bathe. After cooling off, the bathing process is repeated a few times.

It is so easy to get to the Selayang Hot Springs, just travel along Jalan Ipoh towards Rawang. After passing the Selayang Wholesale Market on the right and upon approaching the Kia Service Centre, keep a lookout for the signboard on the left just before the flyover leading to Bandar Baru Selayang.

The entrance fee is absolutely FREE OF CHARGE however the parking fee is RM 2

Since I experienced difficulties to find this place on my first time because the signage is quite small, so I share this map to you. Hopefully it will help.

Cheap Travel - Selangor: Broga Hill


One of the view in between the peaks

Broga Hill is rapidly climbing the ranking in the heart of nature lovers nowadays. Located around 50km from KL towards south near Semenyih, its a very nice place to see sunrise and sunset. At the peak of the Broga hill, the view is awesome.

It is relatively easy to climb up as the trail are well marked and there are a lot of Malaysian climbers (especially during weekend) who are very friendly and helpful. It takes about 30-40 minutes to climb up to the first peak.

Broga has about 3 peaks where you can have a very amazing scenery while riding on the breeze.

During weekend, you might want to get there a bit early - I really mean very early, as early as 5am in the morning - as there will be a lot of climbers and the car park is not enough. The first time I went there, about 630am the car already spill out to the main road and need to walk more than 100 meters just to get to the entrance.
