Last weekend, together with another colleague of mine, we decided to go to for a jungle trekking. It was a last minute plan, so we prefer to have an activity that did not require lots of preparation.
So we decided to try out and have a look at the Bukit Nanas Nature Reserve. Bukit Nanas Nature Reserve entrance is near the KL Tower. We started our journey at Bukit Nanas Monorail station. We walked for about 15minutes to read the gate of KL Tower.
KL Tower is located near Bukit Nanas which is also near Raja Chulan or Bukit Bintang.
From the gate, they have a security guard which was very helpful. Now they have a free shuttle service to the KL Tower itself. I think it would take 20mins to walk up the KL Tower entrance from the gate.
That was the second time I was at the KL Tower and so many things changed. They have now, buffet dinner up in the tower, animal zone, pony ride, cultural village with all the traditional musical instrument. They have a mini museum on how the KL Tower was built and also information on places to visit in Malaysia.
Traditional and local games and sports.
The wooden long wood is called Congkak and the ball in the basket is called Sepak Raga, and the feather in the basket is Sepak Bulu Ayam.
Parrots that was in front of the animal zone.
Then we looked for the entrance for the Nature Park Reserve and started our trekking. The entrance is free. It was a nice place and reminds me a lot of all the trekking I did in Singapore. You still can hear cars passing by. But it was a really good relief for me because it felt like I was not in the city for a few hours because of all the greens around me. We walked all the path there were and it was not that much as it was a small place.
In fact, they have a lot of things in the nature park. They have a place to exercise, orchid garden, herbal garden and some of the trees are label so you know the name.
They have lots of aging trees, and you can see all the trees with big trunk and also flowers that only grow in the tropical climates.
However, sad fact, it was not well taken care of. 
There were no orchids, no herbal plants and the space for exercise was a little bit run down. I don’t think I would mind paying RM10 or RM20 per entrance to the park if they could use some of the money to take care of the park.
I also found out that, they have place for camping and also BBQs! Awesome place for a party eh???
Please also bring mosquito repellent as there were lots of mosquito in the park.
Have fun trekking in the Big City of Kuala Lumpur!
Doei!!!
