Gombak

Gombak is a district in Selangor, Malaysia, located to the northwest of Kuala Lumpur, and forms part of the Greater Kuala Lumpur metropolitan area. The district is characterized by a mix of urban settlements, suburban neighborhoods, and rural areas along the western edge of the Klang Valley. It is bordered by Kuala Lumpur to the south, and by several other Selangor districts to the north and west, with the Titiwangsa Range and natural features shaping its landscape.

The most famous landmark is Batu Caves, a limestone hill with a world-renowned Hindu temple complex that attracts large numbers of visitors and pilgrims, especially during Thaipusam. The district also includes other residential towns and commercial centers, and has experienced rapid suburban development since the late 20th century as Kuala Lumpur expanded.

Gombak has a diverse population and a range of local amenities, including schools, markets, and healthcare facilities. The economy is largely driven by residential services, light industry in some areas, and retail activity along major roads.

Transportation links connect Gombak to Kuala Lumpur and surrounding areas via major roadways and rail. The KTM Komuter network serves Batu Caves and other points in the district, providing access to central Kuala Lumpur and beyond. The district's governance is under the purview of the Selangor State Government, with local administration managed by the Gombak District Office.
