Altingsburg Lighthouse

Good place to bring kids together. To visit the museum and understand the historical events.

It’s enjoyable to bring kids enjoy the scenery n monkey feedings

The lighthouse located on Bukit Malawati, Kuala Selangor is also known as the Altingsburg Lighthouse in conjunction with the name of the Dutch Governor General who ruled during the capture of Malawati City at the hands of the Dutch. It is the symbol of Kuala Selangor which is still strong and serves until now to be a guide for ships passing through the Straits of Malacca either from the North or South. The lights from this lighthouse will be installed from 7.00 pm to 6.00 am daily.

Some details provided by the Marine Department of Peninsular Malaysia (Central Region) on this lighthouse are as follows:

– Lighting Features: Fi (2) 15 Seconds
– Visibility Range: 18 Nautical Miles
– Lamp Height: 73 Meters (above APPM level)

The lighthouse was closed when I visited on the 1st of Jan 2024. However, there are a few monkeys around. The rule of thumb being brown monkey aggressive, silver/grey money approachable. The view was nice, however at most 5 minutes and you are done.

Nothing to do, but just snap pic outside. The most exciting things to do was to ride on the “tram”. But I did drew a pic of the lighthouse🤣 BEWARE OF MONKEYSSSSS 🙈 🙉 🙊
