Kuala Kubu Baru (alternate spellings: Kuala Kubu Bharu, Kuala Kubu Bahru, Kuala Kubu Baharu), also known as KKB, is a town in Selangor, Malaysia.

[edit] Get in

[edit] By train

In January 2008, Kuala Lumpur's KTM Komuter trains were extended to Kuala Kubu Bahru, making this the easiest way to get here on public transport. Note that you will have to change trains at Rawang; the shuttle service from Rawang to Tanjung Malim via KKB runs every half hour and takes 25 minutes.

[edit] By bus

To/From Kuala Lumpur: Bus services are somewhat inconvenient but not impossible. Take a Metrobus bus (destination "Rawang") from Kuala Lumpur's Puduraya bus terminal or outside the Sinar Kota building on Jalan Tun Perak to Rawang town. At Rawang, switch to Metrobus No.36 (destination "Tanjung Malim"). It will stop by Kuala Kubu Baru along the way. With the opening of the KTM Komuter service to KKB, it could be more convenient and less stressful to catch the train.

[edit] By road

Kuala Kubu Baru is about 5km off the Kuala Lumpur-Ipoh old trunk road (Federal Route One), along the road to Fraser's Hill and Raub in Pahang. The nearest interchange to exit if you are using the North-South Expressway is Rawang if you are travelling from the south, and Tanjung Malim if you are coming from the north. At both exits, you will have to travel along the old trunk road to get to Kuala Kubu Baru. The roads are well signboarded.

It is about 60km from Kuala Lumpur and 40km from Fraser's Hill.

[edit] Get around

Taxis are available in the Bus stop complex. As ususal, the charges will go up as soon as they see foreigners. Try to bargain it should get your near fair price.

As been said before this is a sleepy town. therefore dont expect anything to be lively after 10PM. They don't even have cinema. The taxi service should be available up to 9PM. Some might even be around up to the last bus.

• Hike to the Chiling Waterfall. Visiting this waterfall requires some hiking and river crossing. Recommended for the adventurous. Proper footwear is advised E.g. Sandals with ankle straps. Prepare to spend 3-4 hours tracking in and back. To get there, look out for the steel bridge on the way to Fraser's Hill. Pass the bridge & park on the left side of the road with a small clearing. It is advisable to remove all valuables & secure your car as there have been reports of cars being broken into. Cross the road and look for the trek that will lead you to the waterfall. The trek is great for novices but unsuitable for the "not so sure-footed." Caution: It is advised not to trek during a rainy day as water levels can rise rapidly.Especially be very careful when it rains at the top of the hills.TI might not rain at the place you are but if it rains on top of the hills, then dont even go near the bank of the river. It is very very dangerous as you might not even know when the water would rise and it rises ver fast . It also brings in the debris from the hills.
