A Natural Oasis in Hulu Langat

Nestled in a lush jungle valley 150 meters above sea level, Chongkak Park & Resort offers a refreshing escape from urban life. Located just an hour’s drive from Kuala Lumpur, this natural paradise centers around the pristine Sungai Chongkak, where crystal-clear waters rush over smooth boulders and create a perfect setting for nature lovers and adventure seekers.

The River Ecosystem

The main attraction of Chongkak Park is its beautiful stream system, which flows through dense tropical forest. The park is thoughtfully divided into 6 zones, each offering unique experiences along the water’s edge. A paved walking path meanders for about a kilometer alongside the stream, crossing it several times via small bridges that add to the scenic beauty.

Natural Features

• Crystal-clear waters that flow over flat stream beds covered with gravel, boulders, and palm-sized pebbles
• Yellow Saraca trees (Saraca thaipingensis) with their distinctive yellowish-green leaves and bright yellow flower clusters
• Multiple tributaries that feed into the main stream, creating diverse water features
• Natural pools formed by makeshift embankments, perfect for dipping and cooling off

Park Facilities and Amenities

Chongkak Park & Resort is well-equipped to handle day visitors and overnight campers:

• Campsites for those wanting to experience nature up close
• Barbecue pits for outdoor cooking
• Gazebos providing shaded resting spots
• Surau (prayer rooms) for Muslim visitors
• Changing rooms and toilets for convenience
• Open spaces perfect for group activities

A Simply Fulfilling Experience

What makes Chongkak Park truly special is its ability to transport visitors into a different world. Here, time seems to slow down as you immerse yourself in the sounds of chirping birds and buzzing insects, surrounded by nothing but streams, forest, and the magnificent backdrop of the Titiwangsa Mountains.

During evening rainfalls, the park transforms into a mystical realm where visitors can feel like hermits living a reclusive life deep in the mountains. The misty forest scenery and the simple gratification of being separated from the outside world create an experience that’s both humbling and deeply satisfying.

Scenic Journey

The drive to Chongkak Park is part of the adventure. Following Route B52, you’ll pass through traditional Malay villages and local stalls, with the majestic Titiwangsa Mountains clearly visible along the journey. Gunung Nuang, Selangor’s highest peak at 1,493 meters, stands as a sentinel watching over this beautiful region.

Getting There

From Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, take Route B52 towards Pangsun or Hutan Lipur Sungai Chongkak for about 19km until you see the ‘Chongkak Park & Resort’ signpost directing you to turn left. The park is located about 2km at the end of this road.
