Bukit Jugra Lighthouse

Bukit Jugra Lighthouse is a historic navigational lighthouse situated atop Bukit Jugra in Jugra, Kuala Langat District, Selangor, Malaysia. Built in 1976 and managed by the Marine Department of Malaysia, it stands at about 100 metres above sea level overlooking the Strait of Malacca. The white tower remains an active aid to navigation and a landmark within the historic Jugra area, known for its panoramic coastal views and proximity to former royal heritage sites.

Visitors can expect a hilltop setting on Bukit Jugra with a white lighthouse tower within a fenced compound. The tower interior is generally closed to the public, but the exterior and surrounding hilltop area are accessible and offer panoramic views of the Strait of Malacca, Langat River estuary, and surrounding plantations and coastline. The site is reached via a steep winding paved road, with a small parking area and viewpoint. The surroundings are forested and quiet, popular for sightseeing, photography and watching paragliders from the nearby Bukit Jugra launch site.

Bukit Jugra Lighthouse was constructed in 1976 by the Marine Department of Malaysia to guide vessels navigating the Strait of Malacca. It is located on Bukit Jugra, which served as the administrative and royal capital of Selangor in the late 19th century under Sultan Abdul Samad. The hill and surrounding Jugra area retain several heritage structures from that period, and the lighthouse continues as an active aid to navigation.

The lighthouse is a landmark within the Jugra heritage zone, an area of cultural importance as the former royal town of Selangor. It is located near historic sites such as Istana Bandar Jugra and Masjid Sultan Alaeddin, reflecting the area's royal and maritime heritage.
