Sungkai


Sungai Klah Hot Springs is a long-time favourite getaway amongst locals and foreigners alike.  
Located just an hour away from Kuala Lumpur, 
it makes for a delightful day trip away from the hustle and bustle of city living 
straight into the healing waters of its invitingly naturally heated pools.


As such, during weekends, public and school holidays, the place can be packed to the brim with people.  Imagine a postcard-pretty place dotted with hot springs pools, sprawling grassy fields and lovely trees. 
Now, imagine the tranquillity being invaded with the joyful shrieks of active children as they splash about the water as their doting parents and legions of relatives look on amidst other carloads and busloads of tourists who all want their share of a good steamy soak.


Sungkai Wildlife Reserve



"This place is one of the efforts done by the Department of Wildlife and National Parks in order to protect the endangered species. Conservation work at this centre focuses on captive breeding programme for the sambar deer and indigenous pheasant species."

Conservation work at this centre focuses on captive breeding programmes for the sambar deer and indigenous pheasant species. This 50ha centre was opened in 1971 to develop and maintain a sustainable genetic breeding pool for each of the rare and endangered species it maintains.
The ultimate aim of this centre is to release breeding stocks of these animals back into their native environments to naturally increase wild population.
The Sungkai centre currently has about 63 heads of sambar deer, 15 heads of Timor deer and 14 heads of mouse-deer. The pheasant species available here include 11 crested and great argus pheasants, 29 mountain and Malaysian peacocks, three green peafowls and 19 crestless and crested firebacks.
