Peretak is a mukim in Hulu Selangor District, Selangor, Malaysia. It is located along the route from Kuala Kubu Bharu to Fraser's Hill and is known for its natural landscapes and river recreational areas.

The mukim encompasses four Permanent Forest Reserves (Malay: Hutan Simpanan Kekal), namely Hulu Selangor, Semangko, Semangko Tambahan (Extension), and Bukit Kutu, which serve as water catchment areas and wildlife habitats. The Selangor River Dam is located within the Hulu Selangor Forest Reserve.[1]

The area serves as a key node connecting the lowlands to the highlands. Malaysia Federal Route 55 (Jalan Kuala Kubu Bharu–Teranum) runs through the mukim, serving as the main access route to Fraser's Hill.

Demographics

As of 2020, the mukim has a total area of 203.3 square kilometres (78.5 sq mi) and a population of 467.[2] The population density is extremely low as the majority of the land consists of forest reserves and water catchment areas.
