Bukit Jugra, Kuala Langat

Bukit Jugra, Selangor (6 July, 2016)


Bukit Jugra (GPS: 2.83554, 101.4176) is a small hill in Kuala Langat District, Selangor. The forest on the hill is protected as part of Hutan Simpan Bukit Jugra. There is a hill road that winds its way up Bukit Jugra. As you go up, you will pass some ruins, followed by a Chinese cemetery, and then the Bukit Jugra Lighthouse, which has a look-out point affording splended views of the coast and estuary of Sungai Langat.

The location of Bukit Jugra was one of the reasons why Sultan Abdul Samad created his royal capital in the town of Jugra below. The hill provided navigators a landmark, even though it wasn't exactly by the coast. During colonial times, the hill was called Parcelar Hill. To the locals, the bill is also called Bukit Kerang.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
