Kuala Selangor

Overview

Introduction

A most spectacular natural sound-and-light show in Malaysia takes place in Kuala Selangor, about 43 mi/70 km from Kuala Lumpur. Stretching for about 9 mi/15 km along the Selangor River, thousands and thousands of fireflies (actually beetles) perform an evening luminescent dance in the berembang trees. The only way to see it properly is by sampan with a local boatman, and moonless nights offer the best displays. Plenty of organized tours are offered.
