Sungai Langat

Sungai Langat flowing through Kajang, Selangor (6 August, 2017)


Sungai Langat is one of the major rivers in Selangor. It flows entirely within the state, started at Gunung Nuang, in the Titiwangsa Range, and empties into the Straits of Malacca at Tanjung Tongkah, over a distance of some 127 kilometers. A number of rivers act as tributaries to Sungai Langkat, including Sungai Semenyih and Sungai Labu.

Two of the districts of Selangor take their names from this river, namely Hulu Langat District, on the upper reaches of the river, and Kuala Langat District, where the river discharges into the sea. The river flows through Hulu Langat, Cheras, Kajang, Bangi, Dengkil and Banting.

Since it cuts across the state, Sungai Langat is crossed by numerous major roads including the Cheras-Kajang Expressway (E7), the SILK Highway (E18), Jalan Sungai Chua, Persiaran Bangi, Persiaran Universiti, Jalan Teras, the North-South Expressway Southern Route, Jalan Utara 1, Pintasan Dengkil Bypass, Jalan Kajang-Dengkil, ELITE Highway (E6), KLIA Extension Expressway, Jalan Perak Kanan, Route 32, Jalan Sultan Abdul Samad and Jalan Pusara.

Jambatan Banting crosses Sungai Langat in Banting, taking Jalan Sultan Abdul Samad across the river. It is the second last bridge before the river reaches the sea. The final bridge across the river is Jambatan Jalan Pusara.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
