How to Go

Kuala Selangor can be reached by car or bus, but because it is only a small seaside destination, there are few roads that connect to town, mostly those leading from Klang and one from Petaling Jaya via Sungai Buloh. Buses are available from Puduraya Bus Station in Kuala Lumpur that take about 2 hours to reach, but it is recommended to drive on your own or get a friend who does, as the options for getting around Kuala Selangor are limited.

Most visitors will come from Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya, travelling through Sungai Buloh and on to the trunk road. From Kuala Lumpur, you can arrive in Sungai Buloh after the Kepong Highway while those in Petaling Jaya will come to the same point by the LDP Highway, which goes through Bandar Utama. From Sungai Buloh, it is an hour plus journey through trunk road, passing by oil palm plantation, small towns and traditional villages. The total distance is about 70 km, but the frequent traffic jams, numerous traffic lights and haphazard vehicles often make the journey slow, and thus the destination appearing further than it really it. A faster option which will cut travel time by at least a one third the duration is to use the North-South Highway from Kuala Lumpur to access the Guthrie Highway. Visitors coming from Singapore can also use this option.

The Guthrie Highway connects halfway to the trunk road leading to Kuala Selangor, and is a fast, breezy affair. Eventually, you'll arrive in Kuala Selangor, where you can proceed past the main town area over the bridge across the Selangor River to visit Pasir Penambang or Tanjung Karang. From Pasir Penambang, a small road leads to the firefly watching areas of Kampung Belimbing and Kampung Kuantan. If you wish to bypass Kuala Selangor to reach Kampung Kuantan, then there is a turn-off from the trunk road about 10 km before the town that leads directly there. To arrive in Kampung Bagan Pasir for seafood, then head towards Tanjung Karang which is about 7 km away north. About 5 km later, a signboard indicating the exit to Bagan Pasir will appear where you make the turn-off.

Klang lies in the south of Kuala Selangor just 20 km away by the coastal road. Those coming from KLIA Airport in Sepang, Port Dickson or even Malacca can travel along the coastal fringe road which will go all the way up to Klang. You'll pass by Morib Beach and Banting Town along the way from these destinations. Once in Klang, follow the directions to Kapar. Once you reach Kapar Town, it is only another 5 km before you reach Kuala Selangor. The traffic along this road is mostly free flowing, but just getting out of Klang can be a nightmare as it is plagued with traffic jams and numerous detours as the roads there are being upgraded and reconstructed. It is recommended to use the North-South Highway instead and make the turn-off to Kuala Selangor at the Guthrie Highway exit at most times.
