FRIM Kepong

FRIM Kepong is Malaysia’s Forest Research Institute Malaysia campus turned public green escape, with mature research forest, lakes, trails and a canopy walk inside Greater Kuala Lumpur. Decades of scientific planting created a rare urban woodland where birds, shade and quiet paths feel far from the highway. Come for morning hikes, photography under tall dipterocarps, and a cooler half-day that pairs nature with easy city access. It suits families and walkers seeking forest character without leaving the Klang Valley. Wear mosquito repellent, stick to marked trails, and note that some canopy sections may close after rain for safety—call ahead if the walkway is your main goal.
