Kuala Selangor lies at the mouth of the Selangor River and offers a mix of historical sites and natural attractions. This eight-hour bus tour from Kuala Lumpur includes a visit to Bukit Melawati, where travelers explore the ruins of Fort Altingsburg and see cannons and artifacts from the early 1900s. The site also includes the Royal Mausoleum, the burial place of the first three Sultans of Selangor, and the nearby 100 staircase, known historically as an execution block.
