Pulau Ketam: Roundtrip from Kuala Lumpur
About
Pulau Ketam translates to ‘Crab Island’, and it’s a sleepy, mangrove swamp-rich Chinese fishing settlement founded circa 1880. Though it’s just an hour drive and a 30-minute ferry ride out of bustling KL, life comes to a standstill here as you step into a time capsule of Malaysia’s rural past.
