Three days in Rawang

Day one: Start by getting your bearings in Rawang itself, a town in the Gombak District of Selangor, Malaysia. Use the day to wander its streets and see how it sits within Greater Kuala Lumpur, with Kuala Lumpur close enough to shape the pace of life here. Keep your first day unhurried and let the town set the tone for the rest of your stay.

Day two: Turn your attention to the wider surroundings. Rawang's position in the Gombak District makes it a practical base for understanding this part of Selangor, and the pull of Kuala Lumpur is never far away. Spend the day moving between the town and the edges of the capital, noticing how Greater Kuala Lumpur knits the two together.

Day three: Use your last day to fill in whatever you missed. Revisit the parts of Rawang that appealed to you most, or head back toward Kuala Lumpur for a change of scene. It is a short trip, so let the town and its place in Selangor and Greater Kuala Lumpur be your guide rather than trying to cover everything.
