Around an hour away from Kuala Lumpur, thrill seekers can head to Kuala Kubu Bharu and raft on the rapids at the Selangor river. With four grades of rapids, rafters can raft for 2 hours on this 8-kilometre-long stretch of river. Rafting down the river offers a great view of the riverbank, with all its varied vegetation. Operators provide safety gear, and tourists need no prior rafting experience.
