world. On arrival visit Kota Melawati, formerly known as Fort Altingsburg, a Royal Mausoleum, old Fort and the legendary 100 steps (a fabled execution block). The Kuala Selangor Nature Park at the foot of Bukit Melawati is an ideal place for watching birds of passage. With a bit of luck, spot the Silvered-leaf monkeys as well as rare species of birds, butterflies etc. At dusk enjoy an opulent seafood dinner at a fishing village. After dinner take a short drive to Kampung Kuantan to board a typical Malay wooden rowing boat. The skilled oarsmen row upstream into the darkness of the quiet night to witness one of nature's beautiful phenomena. As soon as the eyes adjust to the dark, rows of “flashing” trees become visible along the river bank. What looks like the lights of hundreds of Christmas trees are thousands of fireflies amidst the mangrove trees - a truly magical sight. Overnight: Kuala Lumpur
