“Melawati Hill: Where History Meets Playful Monkeys and Stunning Views”

#favouriteitinerary Melawati Hill (Bukit Melawati) in Kuala Selangor is a historical and scenic destination known for its rich past and playful silvered leaf monkeys. Perched on a hill overlooking the Straits of Malacca, this site was once a strategic fortress built by the Sultanate of Selangor in the late 18th century to defend against Dutch invasions. The remnants of Fort Melawati, including cannons, execution blocks, and the Poisoned Well (Perigi Beracun)—once used for punishing traitors—serve as haunting reminders of its turbulent past.
