KL Forest Eco Park - Jungle in the city



3 June 2018 - When our family adventure move beyond the normal playground park routine. When one say, city in the forest, this is for forest in the city. Taman eko rimba kl, Kl forest eco park (hutan simpan Bukit Nanas) entrance is located just next to Kl tower. Fresh air, quick walk for family. Best with simple hiking is kids can experience the nature and regardless how hot the weather is, we can still come in late noon as it is still cooling under the forest trees. We can't play in playground in the park under the hot sun for example, kids fall sick easily.

Canopy walk

The highlights: 200m tall canopy walk, solid wood and steel. Mostly tourists, family, Philippines (off on Sunday) can be seen posing on the canopy walk.
Facts: forest reserve in year 1906, 9 hectares remain.
Forest trail: easy, good for family.

There were few trails at the entrance.
Canopy walk: 10-15 mins (to and fro)

 



Penarahan and jelutong trail: 20mins (one way)
all ready bricks and roads, stairs all for family. Hardly have your shoes getting muddy and dirty. Simple for kids. 

Camping site but not in good maintenance



Reach camping site with a pondok and big head field but no maintenance for toilet or camping facilities. 

Exit to KL tower is closed

We have to stop at camping site and return to the entrance, as one short canopy walk with red fencing heading to Kl tower, closed its exit door. The other trail near to the camping site toilet (toilet is locked) is not in good condition, might not be too safe.
There is another 'main entrance trial'at the left upon entrance we didnt try. 



Total Time spent: 1 hour to n Fro.
Opening hours: 8am -6pm everyday.
Special of the day: it is the first hiking trip for kids and husband. 😳

Delicious local food restaurants with reasonable price near to the bus stop / upside down museum.



Remark: confusion in gps. Don't go to the road towards telekom or aia building, as there is no parking available. More towards the office entrance. Park near Kl tower will do.
