TRAILS

Trail walking is an ideal way to view the Kuala Selangor Nature Park. There are six trails of various distances to explore. While some allow you to study the flora and fauna of a secondary forest, others introduce you to the inhabitants of the lake and mangrove forest.

1. For your safety, please stay on the trails and do not wander into the undergrowth. On night walks, always take along a companion, torchlights and spare batteries.
2. Keep the Park clean! Please semember to brig out your rubbish as there are no waste receptacles along the trails.
3. For the convenience of visitors, rest huts are located along the trails.
4. You may also chgoose to explora the park on two-wheels instead. If so, please read the page on "Essentials" for bicycle rental rates.
