1. Setia Alam Community Trail

When you talk about Selangor hiking spots, Setia Alam Community Trail is one of the firsts to come up. It is the green oasis of this township. The trail is a beautiful forest that runs alongside the Setia Alam Eco Park.

The Peak Garden has two entries and exit locations. 

For beginners, we recommend going up via Point A and down via Point B. If you have some experience, you can choose to do it the other way round as the Point B entrance is a little more challenging with its steep elevation.

Hikers and nature enthusiasts from nearby Setia Alam and other townships frequent the trail, whether early in the morning or late in the day.

This trail gets slippery when it’s raining and after the rain, so make sure you check the weather before you go, and wear good shoes! 

Difficulty level: Easy

Distance: 3.6 miles/ 5.8 kilometers one way

Approximate hike time: 45 minutes

Open: 24 hours 

Costs: Free! 

Tip: Look out for cute squirrels, foraging monkeys, and colorful insects like butterflies on your hike!

We strongly recommend you wear good hiking shoes when hiking at Lata Medang as the track is quite slippery and gets muddy when it rains. Also, you have rivers to cross along the way. Very adventurous! 

The waterfall here is stunning, cascading down a gradual slope into shallow, clear water. The hike here is a definite refresher from the hustle and bustle of the city, making it quite the favorite in terms of places for hiking Klang Valley has.

Hiking In Selangor- Important Tips 

We know you’re excited to start exploring all the hiking trails Selangor has now, but before first, please take note of these:

• Let someone know the trail you plan to take, especially if you will be alone. 
• Know the route or go with someone who knows the course. 
• Wear appropriate attire, preferably layers that you can remove if you feel too hot along the hike. 
• Wear proper hiking shoes. Many people lean into using gym shoes, but they are not made to withstand the same surface, so it could be a hazard. 
• Consider using hiking poles for support and to lift some weight off your knees.
• Bring water along to stay hydrated.
• Bring insect repellent to ward off the bugs.
• Bring a waste bag to discard your wastes into a bag and bring them back with you. Never litter (as a general rule, not just for hikes)! 
• Pay attention to the weather forecast; you don’t want to be caught on a hill during a thunderstorm.
• If you want to bring your dog on the hike, check in advance about the rules, i.e., on-leash, off-leash, or if it’s even allowed.
• Know your fitness level and health conditions. Take into consideration the inclination, altitude, and weather, as they can make the hike even more difficult. 
• Know the regulations. Check in advance if camping is allowed, the timing you need to adhere to, and dress code  – Hiking in Klang Valley area is especially exciting with all the waterfalls we have to offer. Still, Malaysia is relatively conservative, so no skinny dipping!

All ready and excited to go hiking in Selangor? 

Now that we’ve shown you the what’s-what, who’s clearing their calendar this weekend for an adventure? 🙂 

Just ensure that you keep in mind all the important tips we’ve listed before you start your hike. Also, keep your health in check and assess your fitness level before you embark on any of the more challenging hikes.
