Monkeying around on Bukit Malawati. Friendly Silver Leaf monkeys
are the darlings of the hilltop.






Malawati Hill is located about a 1 1/2 hour drive from Kuala Lumpur. This is a popular tourist stop on the way to see the fireflies of Kuala Selangor. A typical journey starts from about 2pm and ends at about 11pm. Traveling westward to the Straits of Malacca one will experience the old country roads and the small towns by the way. The route would also take you past rubber and oil palm plantations which typifies the legacy of the British colonial administration in Malaya.
The tour will also take you to Pasir Penampang for the delicious and fresh seafood served while you overlook the river.
