Travellers in Malaysia can now explore the hot springs, caves, waterfalls and other geological wonders of a newly recognised geopark on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur.

Located in the state of Selangor, the Gombak-Hulu Langat Geopark is an easy day trip for anyone visiting the capital city, and is expected to gain massively in international profile if its 2025 bid for Unesco world heritage recognition is successful. Here, with monkeys climbing nearby, visitors can climb a series of steps to a Hindu temple and towering golden statue at the entrance to the complex of limestone caves, where pitch darkness awaits anyone entering inside.
In KL, the minarets and temples have long been overtaken by skyscrapers on the city’s skyline. The 452m-high Petronas Twin Towers are spectacularly lit in the evenings. The towers are connected by a Sky Bridge, where you can stand and look over the city. You can also go up higher – to the 86th floor.
