Pertak Siring offers an environment like no other -- with a dynamic and supportive caretaker of like-minded travellers, it is set in a historic building that boasts a design - colonial, curated interior and surrounded by breezy environment.
Kuala Kubu Bharu is a charming little town at the foothills of Bukit Fraser in Hulu Selangor. Also known as 'KKB' by locals, the town began life as a mining colony in the 18th Century.
Later, it housed a fortress built by warring Sultans during a period of civil war before falling into colonial hands. KKB was originally situated between two tributaries of the Selangor River, but a massive flood in 1883 wiped out the entire town infrastructure, claiming 33 lives including District Magistrate and Revenue Collector Sir Cecil Ranking.
The town was then moved to its present location on hilly terrain, surrounded by lush valleys, to prevent further tragic recurrences.
You can see the mountain range from this pleasant and quiet town. There are a few rows of shophouses which are about 80 years old, many of which had been renovated and re-painted. Try some of the food and go sight seeing within the vicinity. Here are some of them.
