Sungai Pelek Town

Sungai Pelek is a small town in Sepang district which offered some pleasant surprises. The dragon fruit farm and plenty of traditional Foochew delights make this place worth a visit.

[edit] Get in

Follow the green color highway signboards that point the way to KLIA from almost anywhere in the Klang Valley, then follow those leading the way to Sepang.

A narrow but well-tarred village road fringed by palm oil estates leads to Sepang town. Take the right turn at the T-junction, and you will be on another village road that leads straight to Sungai Pelek.

A signboard stating Selamat Datang ke Sungai Pelek ("Welcome to Sungai Pelek") greets visitors at the entrance to the town.

Notice the celebration board announcing our Royal birthday celebration at the town entrance.
