Cape Rachado Lighthouse, located near Port Dickson in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, is a historic spot that offers a scenic experience and a glimpse into Malaysia's colonial past. To reach the lighthouse, visitors can enjoy a leisurely hike through the Tanjung Tuan Forest Reserve, which is about 1.2 kilometers long and suits all fitness levels. While it is accessible year-round, the best time to visit is during the migratory bird season from March to April. Entry to the forest reserve is typically affordable, with a small fee for parking. The visit typically takes two to three hours, allowing time for exploration and relaxation. While guided tours are available, visiting solo or with friends is equally enjoyable and offers more flexibility. Remember to wear comfortable hiking shoes and bring water, as amenities are limited within the reserve. The panoramic views of the Strait of Malacca from the lighthouse are rewarding and should not be missed.
