Mist lifts off the Hulu Selangor as your van climbs out of Kuala Lumpur, leaving the city’s hum behind. At the put-in near Selangor Dam the river narrows and the current begins to assert itself — a living line that dares you forward. Guides rig life jackets and helmets, and the raft answers every paddle stroke as the channel alternates between playful riffles and sudden drops.
