Sg. Lalang Hot Spring Semenyih is a natural thermal spring site in the Semenyih area of Selangor state, peninsular Malaysia, where chloride-rich geothermal waters emerge in the forested landscape of the Semenyih catchment area, one of the water supply reservoirs for the greater Kuala Lumpur region. The springs offer simple outdoor thermal bathing in a natural forest setting within easy reach of the capital, serving as a recreational escape for urban residents seeking the therapeutic benefits of mineral hot spring immersion combined with the cooling shade of surrounding Malaysian lowland forest. The setting near the Semenyih reservoir and its protected catchment forest gives the hot spring environment a degree of ecological integrity unusual for a thermal site so close to one of Southeast Asia's largest metropolitan areas.

Insider tip — Sg. Lalang Hot Spring near Semenyih lies in the secondary forest fringe southeast of Kuala Lumpur, where granite intrusions create localized geothermal seeps along stream banks. The pools are primitive but scenic, favored by local families and hikers doing the nearby Semenyih reservoir trail. Water temperature is steady and the forest canopy keeps the air cool even at midday.
