LOCATION:
From Kuala Lumpur, head towards Batu Caves, look for signboard to Ulu Yam.

DESCRIPTION:
From smoky downtown Kuala Lumpur to bustling Batu Caves, once you hit the hilly terrain towards Ulu Yam town, you will be treated with amazing view of Ulu Yam lake, one of the main water reservoirs for the Klang Valley.

The road access is excellent, there are plenty of resting spots by the lake, and a few amazing vista points which provide a good bird's eye view of the whole lake. There are a few eco-tourism resorts here too.

MY VERDICT:
Not far off from the city and yet offers peace and serenity.
