"Cool, crystal-clear water, roaring rapids and a cascading river are the highlights of the Sungai Congkak Recreational Forest. There is also a rich diversity of flora and fauna."
One of several eco-tourism attractions in the state of Selangor, the Sungai Congkak Recreational Forest is an ideal spot for a back-to-nature, green escapade. Sungai Congkak (Congkak River) offers you cool crystal-clear waters, roaring rapids and natural pools of water, surrounded by lush and serene Lowland Dipterocarp Forest.
Opened to the public in 1982, Sungai Congkak Forest is the perfect retreat for city folks, with public facilities such including a camping ground, picnic spots, chalets, rest shelters, public toilets and parking space. In the weekends, you can also find hawkers selling a variety of food and drinks. Those interested in climbing can explore the Bukit Chenuang (Chenuang Hill) which rises 850m above sea level.
