Sungai Buloh
Sungai Buloh straddles the Sungai Buloh River in Selangor, and its lowland setting has long connected rural settlements with the expanding Klang Valley. The town is closely associated with the former Sungai Buloh Leprosy Settlement, established in 1930 as one of the largest leprosy settlements in the British Empire; its surviving grounds are protected as a national heritage site. Housing, roads and drainage infrastructure now sit alongside palms and remaining open land, reflecting rapid urban change on Kuala Lumpur’s northern fringe. Rail links and major highways have made Sungai Buloh an important residential and service centre within Greater Kuala Lumpur.

Tucked along the Sungai Buloh River on the northwestern edge of Greater Kuala Lumpur, Sungai Buloh is a town whose character is shaped by lowland waterways and rapid metropolitan growth. Once associated with plantations and rural settlement, it is now linked to the capital by KTM Komuter and MRT rail services, while Selangor’s urban north continues to develop around it. Its most significant historic site is the former Sungai Buloh Leprosy Settlement, established in 1930; now known as the Valley of Hope, it records the lives and medical care of people once isolated there. The town illustrates the shift between Kuala Lumpur’s built-up fringe and Selangor’s broader lowlands. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Selangor.
