Gombak

Gombak is an administrative district in Selangor featuring hilly terrain on three sides and flatter land in the central area. Two municipal councils oversee the district, which is divided into four administrative sections serving different neighborhoods and communities.

The district was established in 1974 when Kuala Lumpur became a Federal Territory and reorganized its administration. In its early years, Rawang served as the center of local government before changes came later.

The Orang Asli Museum displays traditional objects, hunting tools, and musical instruments from indigenous communities of the region. Visitors can view clothing and handcrafted items that reflect how these groups lived in earlier times.

The district is accessible via good road networks and public transport connections, with multiple entry points depending on your destination. Visitors should be prepared for varying weather conditions, as the area has elevation changes and different climate zones.

The meeting point of Gombak River and Klang River marks where Kuala Lumpur began, now marked by the Masjid Jamek mosque. This location shows how two rivers shaped the founding of a major city.
