Hulu Langat, Administrative district in Selangor, Malaysia
Hulu Langat is an administrative district in southeastern Selangor that spans several hundred square kilometers of mixed landscapes from urban and suburban areas to villages and forested hills. The region includes residential zones, commercial centers, farmland, and natural areas with river systems running through it.
The district took shape during British colonial times when various ethnic groups settled in the area for trade and agriculture. Over the 20th century it transformed through tin mining activities and later rapid urban and industrial development.
The area reflects its multicommunal heritage through active temples, mosques, and markets where daily life brings together people from different backgrounds. You can experience this diversity directly by exploring local eateries and attending community celebrations throughout the year.
The district is well connected to Kuala Lumpur and surrounding regions through rail lines and major roads, making travel straightforward. Local buses and taxis operate between towns, and main shopping areas have parking facilities for those with vehicles.
A mountain peak called Gunung Nuang rises over 1400 meters above sea level within the district, attracting hikers looking for a challenge. Natural hot springs nearby offer warm mineral-rich waters where people bathe in outdoor pools surrounded by forest.
