Bukit Jugra Lighthouse is a functioning maritime beacon located at the summit of a limestone hill in Banting, Selangor. Originally established in the early 20th century, the structure serves as a navigational aid for vessels traveling through the Strait of Malacca. The current facility consists of a 25-meter-tall concrete tower equipped with modern automated lighting systems. Visitors reach the site via a winding road through a protected forest reserve. The location provides a high vantage point overlooking the Langat River delta and the coastal mangrove swamps. The surrounding area is frequently used as a launch point for paragliding activities due to the consistent thermal currents. The site is part of the historical Jugra region, which once served as the royal capital of Selangor. Entry to the lighthouse grounds is restricted, meaning most visitors view the structure from its perimeter.

Check the weather forecast for wind conditions if you intend to watch paragliders.
Wear footwear suitable for walking on unpaved, potentially muddy paths near the perimeter.
Do not attempt to climb the tower as it is restricted and poses safety risks; avoid visiting during heavy rain as the access road becomes slippery.
Maintain silence as it is a working navigational facility; keep to designated trails to protect the forest reserve flora.
