- Within the heart of Kuala Lumpur city centre lies the enchanting KL Forest Eco Park.
KL Forest Eco Park was formerly known as Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve, and is one of Malaysia’s oldest permanent forest reserves. It offers a serene and green oasis for visitors to escape the urban environment and immerse themselves in nature.
This rainforest park is located right next to one of Malaysia’s most recognizable landmarks, the KL Tower.
Gazeted in 1906, KL Forest Eco Park is identified as a Virgin Jungle Reserve and houses an area of about 5 hectares. It is surrounded by a concrete jungle in the form of buildings and skyscrapers.
Entry is not free, though. There is a fee of RM10 for adults, RM1 for kids and senior citizens, provided they have MyKad. Otherwise, the entrance fee is RM40 for adults and RM5 for kids. The Park is opened daily from 8:00am to 5:30pm
There are two entrances into the park for visitors. First is via the KL Tower gate and the other via the Interactive Gallery located in Jalan Raja Chulan.
Upon entering via the KL Tower gate, there are directional signages to the various trails, including the 200 metres canopy walk. The canopy trail offers an exhilarating walk along the treetop canopy walkway, offering panoramic views of the surrounding forest and city skyline.
The main walking trail covering this park is paved. There are other smaller trails within the route that visitors can check out. They are well-marked, allowing visitors to discover various plant species. Visitors are advised to protect them-selves with insect repellents.
WCs are available in the park for those who need to use them.
How to Get There?
1. By Car
The forest reserve is located in front of Jalan Raja Chulan. If you are entering through the KL Tower Entrance, you can park at KL Tower car park.
Otherwise, there is a car park in Menara Olympia if you choose to enter through the Jalan Raja Chulan gate.

Been there before and going there again in July when I'm in KL
Used to have a cable car attraction here. My 6th form school, CBN
Where did the cable car lead to?
Just up and down the hill.@@KCfaith
Let go there again with us 😀
Sure sure, and then we go cari makan after that.
Which is the nearest train station to the Eco Park? I heard there are shuttle buses dropping you near KL tower. Is it walkable from there?
Take the Kelana Jaya Line LRT and stop at Dang Wangi Station, or take the KL monorail and disembark at Bukit Nanas station. Those who use the Ampang Line LRT need to disembark at Masjid Jamek LRT station.
Can we park outside cbn school and access the park on a weekend? Thank you
There are only two entrances into the park. Even if you can park at CBN, I believe you'll have to walk a fair bit to either one of the entrances.
Hi , thanks for the video !
May I know which entrance are you using in this video?
In the video, we went in from the KL tower entrance and straight into the canopy walk, but exited through other exit.
@@KCfaith thank you for reply . We went this morning and enjoyed the walk . Thanks for your information .
Most welcome. It's a nice piece of nature within the concrete jungle. We enjoyed our walk as well.
