In Melaka, you can find many different kinds of attraction - some has historical value tacked to it, some are living heritage, some are modern man-made allure. And in this case, we want to introduce to you an accidental attraction in Melaka.
Started as an abandoned reclaimed land, the Klebang Desert was far from the usual definition of tourist attraction. No ticket is imposed, it is inconvenient to get to and there's nothing much you can do. It takes about 1km of walk to reach the main destination. It is a long and difficult walk due to the heat (if you're going during day time) and the sand if pretty thick. However, the scenery pays off the effort to get there.
Some tips we can share with you are:

Some tips we can share with you are:
- Get ready your sunblock. SPF is extremely important. There is no shade along the way.
- If you are afraid of getting sunburned, bring an umbrella. The umbrella is also useful as a walking stick when you get to some sand hill.
- Bring lots of water to prevent dehydration.
- Bring a torch light if you are going to stay till late. There is no street light.
We often get the question - How to get to the Klebang Desert? Get to Dataran 1Malaysia. At the main junction, head straight to the far end. It is pretty obvious as you can see the road lead to nowhere. When you reach the big barrier that says "Pasir Cantik", you can park your car before the barrier and start walking. The further you walk, the prettier the scenery.
