There is More than Meets the Eye at Sekinchan, Selangor

What better way to reminisce your childhood memory and get a glimpse of the paddy field than to take a short road trip to a small hidden gem known by the name of Sekinchan.

Dubbed as the ‘Rice Bowl’ of Selangor, Sekinchan is known as one of the major rice-producing areas in Malaysia. The vast green paddy fields spreading endlessly accompanied by clumps of houses offers a serene experience and has made Sekinchan a tourist attraction spot. During sunset, the views are further enhanced by the glittering flow of irrigation amongst the orderly paddy fields.

Timing is everything should you wish for a cinematic experience. It is recommended for visitors to avoid post-harvesting season where the paddy fields will dry out, depicting a brown background of the scenery. Instead, plan your trip either between March to May or between September to November to catch the green and sparkling hues of the growing paddy.
