Right in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, just a short walk from the iconic Menara Tower, you'll find an unexpected patch of rainforest: the KL Forest Eco Park. Entry costs RM 40 (€8) per person, and it’s absolutely worth it for a refreshing escape from the city buzz.
We wandered along the canopy walkways, suspended between the trees, with lush green all around and the city skyline peeking through in the distance, a truly unique blend of nature and urban life. To our delight, we even spotted a few playful monkeys swinging through the branches!
One tip: bring insect repellent. We forgot, and I ended up covered in mosquito bites, a small price to pay for the experience, but worth remembering if you're planning to go!
The KL Forest Eco Park offers a quick but memorable dose of jungle adventure, right in the middle of the city.
