HOT in KL

Wanna get 'hot' but dont want to go that far away from KL city? Not to worry. There are actually a few 'hot spots' that you can reach within 1/2 hour to an hour from KL. One of them is Hulu Tamu natural hot spring.


Where exactly is this Hulu Tamu place...? Well first of all it is located in the Hulu Selangor district. There are a number of ways on how you can reach the place.

Nevertheless, you may want to try out this route:

First of all, head on to Batang Kali town. At the traffic light junction in Batang Kali, turn to the road that leads to Genting Highland. The Hulu Tamu hot spring is located about 7 km from this traffic light junction. After passing a residential area called 'Ligamas', turn to left at the 1st junction you see. The 'Kampung Sungai Masin' signboard will then come into your view. Keep on driving.
This will take you through some traditional villages as well as rubber and oil palm plantations. Nice view, fresh air, friendly people... what more could you ask for?

Not long after that you will be able to see the 'Majlis Daerah Hulu Selangor' signboard placed strategically right infront of you.
The signboard gives the direction pointing to your destination... the Hulu Tamu natural hot spring.

There are only 2 pools built in the area.

And, yes... they do look a bit 'old' and somehow as if they have been 'abandoned'. Indeed, some visitors may find that they do look a bit 'eerie'... hmmm. I leave the rest to your own 'creative imagination'...

Anyway, about those 2 pools - one has 'not-so-piping-hot' spring water in it, while the other one is much more hotter.

Or, if you dont want to take the trouble of changing & getting yourself wet... you can always do the 'skinny dipping' thingy. Ooops. I mean 'feet dipping'.


Any which way you choose, the natural hot spring would definitely make you feel rejuvenated, de-stressed and relaxed. Enjoy!
