Description

Bukit Jugra is located in Jugra, a historical town in Kuala Langat that exudes an old-world charm with its stately buildings, bridges and roads.

Back in the late 1800s, Jugra was the royal capital of Selangor; its well-preserved buildings are good examples of the artistry and grandeur of its glamorous past.

Today, Bukit Jugra or Jugra Hill is still very much a popular venue, albeit for different reasons. Its undulating terrain and scenic views make it an excellent spot for outdoor activities such as hiking and paragliding.
