Forest reserves of Ampang and Kajang

Further South of Cheras Kuala Lumpur on the Federal road

from Kuala Lumpur to Kajang and Seremban are stretches

of forest reserves which serve as catchment areas for rainfall

to supply water for the rivers and dams serving the Klang valley.

Two of the famous dams are the Ulu Langat Dam and the Semenyih

Dam.

It is not surprising that the hills,waterfalls and streams are popular

campsites and picnic grounds for the locals, keen as ever to escape the

heat of the Klang valley.There is increasing growth in this area of

Eco-tourism.

The town of Kajang is famous for the local food satay which is basically

kebab grills which was probably introduced by visting Arabs in the past.
