Travellers in Malaysia are now able to explore the hot springs, caves, waterfalls and other geological wonders of a newly recognised geopark on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur.

Located in the state of Selangor, the Gombak-Hulu Langat Geopark is an easy day trip for anyone visiting the capital city, and is expected to gain massively in international profile if its 2025 bid for Unesco world heritage recognition is successful.
