Suggested itineraries.

Plan your visit for the 10th or 25th of the month, when the night market is held.

1. Arrive and settle

   Spend time on the grounds. The river runs shallow over stones at the edge of the property, and the animals are a favourite with children.

2. Into town for the night market

   Pasar Malam Batang Kali runs from 4pm to 10pm, a few minutes away. Enjoy dinner at the market.

3. Return before dark

   The final stretch of road is unlit gravel and is easier in daylight.

1. Start early at one forest park

   Choose Sungai Sendat, about 8 km, Kanching, about 17 km with seven tiers of waterfalls, or Templer, about 19 km. One park is ideal for a morning.

2. Check water levels and entry rates

   Water levels can rise quickly after rain upstream. Entry rates at Kanching were revised in December 2024, so please confirm the current rate.

3. Return for a relaxed afternoon

   Spend a quiet afternoon back at Laman Pok Nik.

1. Drive up to the town

   The historic town centre, rebuilt in 1928, is best explored on foot.

2. Explore the town on foot

   Visit Dataran Warisan, the Back Lane murals, the lake park and Teng Wun Bakery for kaya puffs, all within walking distance.

3. Stop at the reservoir viewpoint on the way back

   About 7 km from town, roughly eleven minutes. A roadside viewing stop only, and the view is partly obscured by vegetation.

Sungai Chiling requires a permit and has been open on weekends only since March 2025. Please check before you go.

Plan four: an overnight stay

Arrive in the afternoon to set up and visit the river before dark. Cook outdoors, spend the morning with the animals, and head home after lunch.

Please bring all your own equipment and supplies, and check the facilities on site with Nik Hazmi before you travel. Arrive in daylight, as the final stretch of road is unlit gravel.
