I went there last 2 weeks ago with my sister's family, my brother & wifey and my mum. We had great fun taking the tram up and enjoyed the scenic view of the Malacca Straits from the top of Bukit Melawati. There were cannons and the silver leaf monkey will greet you there. What fascinated me was that the color... More

Bukit Melawati is a really off-the-beaten-path location. When we went there in the morning there was nobody there but us and vendors, that will sell you food for the monkeys. Their prices are more than reasonable and they only sell stuff that the monkeys can digest well. I had a blast when the monkeys overcame their first apprehensions and started... More

We were passing yesterday afternoon on the way to KLIA and our taxi driver suggested stopping in for ten minutes to break the journey and "see some monkeys". The silverleaf monkeys are really gentle, warm and will happily climb all over you if you buy something to feed them (a big bag of sweet potato for 3 Ringgit - other... More

The visit to Bukit Melawati was a last minute plan which turned out to be quite an interesting experience. Having heard a lot about the historical aspect of this place in the past, I was really looking forward to visit this place and seeing it for myself. Where history is concern, Bukit Melawati is certainly full of it. It was... More

This place had some historical buildings and mini zoo but I was all sold to the monkeys in the area. They were hungry. I went there prepared with packs of biscuits (not individually packed). It was fun when they came to grab the food, some polite, some like gangsta. They didn't hesitate to jump to you, sit on your shoulder.... More

My family of five made a trip to Bukit Melawati yesterday. We bought tickets( 3 adults and 2 children). The problem was the tram we took was broke down after a short travel distance. The driver told us that the tram could not moved due to no petrol. So we have to walk all the way near the muzium. Unfortunately... More

The silverleaf monkeys at Bukit Melawati come down to feed late in the afternoon. There is a peddler selling peanuts and vegetables for the monkeys. The monkeys gently take the food from your hand. If you close your fist and hold it towards them they will gently prise open your fingers to find the food. The babys are orange in... More
