Kuala Kubu Bharu

Kuala Kubu Bharu in Selangor, Malaysia, is a township where it looks as if time has come to a standstill. It served  as a fort during the Selangor civil war from 1867 to 1874, but is better known for the tragedy during which the Kuala Kubu dam burst open and flooded the town, affecting its tin mining activities and killing 33 people. It is the last township before the Sungai Selangor Dam and the famous hill resort Fraser’s Hill. The area is very famous for its impressive and beautiful waterfalls and every weekend tens of hikers wander into the jungle leaving the hustle and bustle of the city behind.
