Bukit Jugra Lighthouse, Jugra

Bukit Jugra Lighthouse (6 July, 2016)


Bukit Jugra Lighthouse (GPS: 2.8358, 101.41739) is a lighthouse at the top of Bukit Jugra, in Kuala Langat District, Selangor. There are in fact two lighthouses on the hill. The older one, built during the British administration period, was to guide ships approaching the town of Jugra, when it was the state capital of Selangor. This is the taller of the two lighthouses (and in my photograph), the one in front. The second, and shorter, lighthouse was completed in 1976. By then, Jugra was no longer a state capital, and so the lighthouse functions to guide ships along Straits Malacca, on the southern approach to Port Klang.

The beacon of the Bukit Jugra Lighthouse is 146 meters above sea level. The building (the new one) itself is 25 meters tall.

Visitors to Bukit Jugra Lighthouse can enjoy a panoramic view of the surrounding lowlands. There is a sheltered viewing platform which affords splendid views of the Kuala Langat District. You can see Sungai Langat slithers towards the Straits of Malacca, not unlike a silver serpent, with Jugra on the left side and Pulau Carey on the right.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
