Not far from the place where the monkeys play there is this mound...
Known simply as Busut Melawati (the mound of Melawati) it is one of the highest spot on Bukit (hill of) Melawati.
On top is an open area said to have been used by the olden Sultans of Selangor to relax.
You can get a good view of the surrounding areas of Kuala Selangor and here towards the horizon you see parts of the Selangor river.
Across the mound lies and opening of an old fort.
It was used for the olden Sultans to defend the country from enemies especially the colonising Dutch.
You can see a bedrock called Batu Hampar as you walk towards the entrance...
Some people say this is where very serious offenders were beheaded.
A look inside the fort. The monkeys normally converge in front of the light-house seen in the far back along with a museum building.
While visitors to Bukit Melawati often came up to see the monkeys a small number try to find privacy within this fort.
To my left could be seen a certain path...
I followed it and found what looks like a larger entrance to the fort.
However I was more interested on the letters seen across.
Can you already make it out?
A look from in front the letters. The letters could be clear seen from the road down below...
There it is. The letters which practically say welcome to Kuala Selangor! :]
