Kuala Kubu Bharu is a historical town on top of a hill in the Hulu Selangor district of Selangor.
Visitors  enjoy the cool weather as the town is surrounded by lush trees and tropical jungle. 
Located approximately 70 km from Kuala Lumpur.
The 
township planned by first Town Planner for Federated Malay State of Malaya, Mr. C. C. Reade, 
during the British period for the Federation of Malaya. 
Kuala Kubu Bharuwas built after the previous town of
Kuala Kubu was
 swept away by a massive flood in 1883. Many people died in the tragedy, including the
British 
District Officer, Sir Cecil Ranking. 
Superstitious locals blamed the flooding on Sir Cecil Ranking
for shooting a white crocodile, believed to be a river guardian.
