Everyone who enjoys hiking has hiked Broga Hill, it’s an easy-climb journey, and is only 400-meters high above sea level. Plus, the view at the top makes waking up at dawn all the more worthwhile, and there’s a stall at the top of the hill that sells coconut water for hikers to cool down with. A fun fact about the location: if you climb Broga Hill ten times, it’s the equivalent of climbing Mount Kinabalu.  Website

5. White Water Rafting, Hulu Selangor

If feeling an adrenaline rush first thing on a weekend is your idea of a good time, then, this is the place to be. White water rafting at the Selangor River is a fun activity for all – whether you’re single, a couple, families, a big group, or between the ages of eight to 88 years old. It’s a great way to explore the outdoors, while creating memorable moments with those closest to you. The charging fee is between RM199 to RM800, with a minimum of 2 persons. Website

6. Water Tubing, Hulu Selangor

Water tubing, or tubing as its known, is another one of the popular water activities offered in Kuala Kubu Bharu aside from white water rafting.

The fee for this activity is around RM30.  For more information, contact: rentasadventures@gmail.com or contact 011-11414674.
