Nowadays, people are so invested in working that sometimes, they forget to have a good time – especially people who are in dense cities like KL and Selangor.
Sometimes, your day-offs go under-appreciated, with people settling just to stay home and do nothing when there’s so much to discover!
If you’re in Selangor, you’re in for a treat! Here are some places that take you far from the fast-paced city life and into the indulgence of nature – without not really having to drive so far!
1) Rumah Kebun, Hulu Langat

The stunning spot hidden in the woods of Hulu Langat is a mere 30-minute drive from the city. Rumah Kebun is a private villa that can accommodate up to 12 guests and is suitable for family trips and close friends. Right in front of the villa, you can take a relaxing dive into the hot spring water pool.
You could even go ahead and dip your toes into the Semungkis river that flows through the area.
Address: Kampung Sungai Semungkis Batu 14 1/2 Hulu Langat, Selangor.
2) Templer Park Rainforest Retreat, Rawang

There’s just nothing like waking up to the beautiful view of the magnificent mountains and the birds and insects chirping, making it hard to imagine that you’re only a few minutes away from the capital.
