🌳 What is KL Forest Eco Park?
This is Malaysia’s only natural tropical rainforest reserve located in the city center, also called "Bukit Nanas," which means "Pineapple Hill."

Originally a forest reserve, it has become an ecological miracle island amid urban expansion, covering about 9 hectares. The forest preserves century-old native tree species, rich wildlife, and ecosystems.

🌿 Highlights to Explore!
✅ Canopy Walk Suspension Bridge
About 200 meters long, built among the treetops. Walking on the bridge 10 meters high, you have pristine forest on the left and city skyscrapers on the right — a striking visual contrast.
📸 Photo Tips:
Stand at the bridgehead and wait for the suspension bridge to extend to the center of the frame, with skyscrapers in the distance for great depth.
Use a wide-angle lens for better shots; early morning light is the best.

✅ Rainforest Plant Science Garden
Inside the forest, there are century-old trees, giant ferns, palm plants, etc. Trees have small name tags, combining learning and sightseeing. The air is fresh and oxygen-rich, making it an ideal place for city dwellers to relax and de-stress.

✅ Light Hiking in the City’s Green Lung
The trail consists of wooden boardwalks and some forest dirt paths, with moderate slopes and multiple viewing platforms overlooking the city skyline. No steep or difficult climbs, suitable for casual walkers.
💡 Tip: The map guidance is clear, so it’s hard to get lost. The whole walk takes about 30–60 minutes.

✅ Mini “Wildlife Park” 🐿️🦎
You can see squirrels, flying birds, monitor lizards, dragonflies, and other species. The wildlife is non-aggressive, but don’t feed them. Although snakes are rarely seen, bringing mosquito repellent is highly recommended!

🎒 Practical Tips & Outfit Recommendations
⚠️ Wear sports shoes or non-slip shoes: The boardwalk is dewy in the morning and can be slippery
⚠️ Must-bring items: Water bottle, mosquito repellent, sunscreen, hat
⚠️ For rainy season trips, check the weather to avoid slipping in the rain

✅ Summary:
KL Forest Eco Park is a rare, off-the-beaten-path natural spot in Kuala Lumpur. It’s free, photogenic, and uncrowded. You can walk the suspension bridge, see the rainforest, and de-stress on the spot — stepping from the concrete jungle into a tropical oasis in one step.
📌 Highly recommended to include in your itinerary, best visited early morning or late afternoon to experience a “rainforest version of city strolling”!
