Top 9 Attractions in Kluang (2024)

featured kluang

If you haven’t yet heard of Kluang, it is one of the three landlocked districts in Johor. The name Kluang comes from a local species of megabat called keluang, which is today known as the Malayan Flying Fox. There have also been reports of keluang attacking orchards, necessitating a shaman to drive them away. If you’re curious about what a town named after a megabat has to offer, here are some of the best attractions in Kluang.

1. Mount Lambak (Gunung Lambak)

Mount Lambak (Gunung Lambak)

Mount Lambak is a small mountain that is 510 metres above sea level. It takes approximately 1-2 hours to complete the hike via the shortest trail. This is also the steepest trail, but there are hanging ropes to help you keep your balance. While this hike is not easy and might be pretty challenging, especially for a beginner, as several parts require scrambling, the view from the peak is breathtaking and well worth the sweat and effort.

On the other hand, the safer and longer trail will allow you to be more connected to nature, which will take around 5-6 hours to reach the peak. The best time to complete the hike is early in the morning or late afternoon when there is no direct sunlight. It is also not recommended to come to this Kluang attraction after rain as it is very slippery.

2. Kluang Street Art

Kluang Street Art

Kluang is home to art and murals that are scattered throughout the municipality. Some of these murals can be found on the exterior of buildings, while others are painted on the pavements along roadsides. This art transforms a mundane back alley into something extraordinary. Most visitors to Kluang would consider this a “temporary” art project that will fade away with time, yet each piece of art has stories to tell.

With their bold colours, these artworks lend life to the local area. A visit early in the morning to one of the most popular attractions in Kluang would be ideal for avoiding crowds and capturing outstanding photos without waiting. Because the paintings are all on one street and close to one another, you don’t have to go hunting for them. You can also stop for breakfast at one of the coffee shops along the route to savour local food like kaya toast, nasi lemak, and mee goreng.
