About Bukit Jugra Lighthouse
Rather than an astronomical observatory, Bukit Jugra is a lighthouse site with two towers. The older lighthouse dates to the period of British administration, built to guide ships to Jugra when the town was still the state capital of Selangor. A second, shorter lighthouse was completed in 1976 to guide vessels along the Strait of Malacca.
Location & getting there
The site sits atop Bukit Jugra hill in Selangor, Malaysia, and is a popular spot for paragliding and hiking thanks to its elevated views over the surrounding coastline.
Visiting Bukit Jugra Lighthouse
There is no entry fee to visit. Parking is limited, with space for around six to seven cars at the top of the hill and roughly fifty spaces further down, so it's worth arriving early or being prepared to walk up.
