Fireflies and Kuala Selangor

( The Mother Nature Flashing Christmas Tree )

On arrival at Kuala Selangor, visit Kota Melawati formerly known as Fort Altingsburg, the execution block, royal mausoleum and colonial buildings.  A bird sanctuary park at the foot of Bukit Melawati, is an ideal place for bird watchers to watch migratory birds.  Also found are silvered-leaf monkeys, butterflies etc …

Next, proceed to Kuala Selangor town in the quiet hamlet of Kampung Kuantan, where one of the world largest firefly colonies is found, in Malaysia.  Highlight of the tour.

Row upstream, in a small un-motorised boat (tongkang) in the quiet darkness, to witness the blinking trees.  This scintillating display of fireflies portrays an image of a flashing Christmas tree.  The synchronized, rhythmic flashing is produced by the thousand of fireflies found in the mangrove swamp of Kampung Kuantan.  The skilled local oarsmen make this trip a memorable and unforgettable one.
