Solo travelling can be one of the most rewarding things you will ever do, as it allows you to create your own adventure, learn to be more organised and independent, and overcome new challenges.
As domestic tourism is back in full operation, why not seize the chance to explore attractions around the state? Here are five things you can do as a solo traveller.
1. Fish at Pulau Ketam
Pulau Ketam, located near Port Klang, has been a popular spot for fishing over the years. Hop on a ferry or private speedboat from Port Klang, and take in the sight of mangrove swamps, fish farms, boats, and houses on stilts along the way.
At the famed fishing village itself, spend quality time in a quiet and serene environment with nothing but your fishing gear and your thoughts.
2. Discover Malaysia’s automotive industry
The National Automobile Museum is located at the Sepang International Circuit and showcases the evolution of the country’s automotive industry.
The ground floor of the museum spans almost 750 sq m and highlights the history of Malaysia’s transportation system and early-produced cars, while the first level, spanning just over 980 sq m, focuses on Malaysia’s motoring industry in general.
3. Feast in Kuala Selangor
When you are travelling alone, you simply have to sample the various food options along the way.
Mee Udang Banjir in Kuala Selangor serves up large prawns and noodles in an absolutely delicious gravy at an affordable price, making this the perfect place to start your food hunt. The best part is, you won’t have to share with anyone!
4. Engage with Selangor’s communities
The Selangor Community Host programme features a range of activities by communities in the state’s nine districts.
Discover traditional fishing and coconut-extraction methods from Sabak Bernam, or learn about the tempeh fermentation process as well as related recipes from Kuala Langat.
5. Shop and splurge
1 Utama Shopping Centre in Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya will cater to your every whim and fancy. Spend the day window (or actual) shopping, and enjoy the various food and entertainment outlets here.
For the more adventurous among you, try indoor skydiving!
