- Leo SWindisch, Aargau, Switzerland59 contributionsVery pleasent park, clean and large. Plenty of seating and covered areas to relax or sit. Fantastic views on the petronas towersWritten 13 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- aandjburnsPerth, Australia239 contributionsA fantastic collection of birds from all over the world in a series of walk-in aviaries & individual (large) aviaries. Located just outside of the city, I got there via the hop-on/hop-off bus (about 1hr from Stop #1). I paid at the gate (MYR 85.00). The Park is well set out, although set in a valley, there are easy walk paths to allow everyone to get around; a couple of the walk-in aviaries have double-door access which maybe a bit tricky in a wheel chair. Allow yourself a few hours to take it all in; I spent an enjoyable 3hrs walking among the birds.Written 11 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mohammad BarakatRiyadh, Saudi Arabia12 contributionsA beautiful and diverse place with many rare fish. However, it could benefit from better organization of the tourists.Written 30 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- nyalpiHong Kong, China217 contributionsFirst and foremost, it is a lovely green park in the middle of a crowded city. Its existence as an urban green space is its biggest value.
A very pleasant place to walk or jog amongst greenery and get away from the concrete jungle. Some places to sit and rest in shade. Not many people despite my visit on a public holiday.
Unlike most other botanic gardens around the world, there were very few signs with information about the plants. Very few signs and maps around the gardens to show where you are and what else there is to be seen. Some of the paths and shade structures were cracked and needed some renovation, though still very functional.
Getting there on foot and public transport is possible, but requires determination because there are not many signs nor maps (not unlike many other attractions in KL).
Nevertheless, a very pleasant place to visit to get away from the concrete and commercialism and crowds of the city.Written 25 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Other reviews comment on the price, and yes, it might be a bit too pricy, but we still liked it. It is a part of jungle just in the middle of KL. There wasn't too many other guests, when we were there late in the afternoon, so we enjoyed walking around in the last part of the KL forest. It is such a contrast to the busy part of KL. We will recommend it. It is isomething different.
NB! Signs could have been better, but you just walk up to the KL Tower - then it is easy to find at the top.Written 14 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There was a lot of butterflies to see of many colours and sizes. A very enjoyable and relaxing place to visit. It was hard to tear ourselves away.Written 26 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- jgrob3Perth, Australia178 contributionsThe start of the track is easy to find but it has yellow tape over it, warning you not to proceed. The track up to the base of the rocky outcrop hasn’t been maintained in a while so is a bit overgrown & some parts have been washed away. It’s not a huge deterrent but don’t expect an easy hike up.
I found the trail along the bottom of the cliffs to be quite difficult to follow & ended up going off into the jungle a couple of times. It’s not really possible to get lost as you just follow the base of the cliffs but the path is mainly marked by bits of warning tape on trees so it’s easy to miss the turns.
The trail along the top of the cliffs is much easier to follow and the views are quite spectacular. Just be careful up there as there are steep drop offs on both sides & it gets down to just a few metres across.
I’d suggest wearing long pants if you can as the mosquitoes are ferocious and I got bitten many times. In addition, I think I was stung by some plants or other insects as I came back with large itchy welts in my legs.
Overall, it was a good, challenging but quite doable hike & I spent about 4 hours doing the circuit. Just be prepared for a track that isn’t particularly well maintained!Written 31 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Easily done as an early morning till noon escapade. Was a bit disappointed at the large amount of trash, bottles (even broken glass!), and food packaging scattered around. Bins are available people! Please use them.
Gazebos are scattered about, but with several levels of waterfall pools, there's plenty of space although considering its proximity to town, it gets pretty crowded the later you go.Written 20 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is good fun for 2-3 hours and can be done quickly too if no kids..Written 28 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Wolv3rin3Subang Jaya, Malaysia5,885 contributionsOne of the last bastion of nature amidst the concrete jungle, straddling between Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur boundary. There're a few entrances to Bukit Gasing Hiking Trail. Our favourite are Bukit Gasing Hiking Trail Toilet and Parking, Petaling Jaya side or Taman Rimba Bukit Kerinchi, Kuala Lumpur side.
There're multiple trails for you to choose from, Bukit Gasing Loop, Fence Trail Loop, Abu Bakar Loop, Stairways to Heaven Loop, to the olde hanging bridge, or the Concrete suspended bridge. Hikes are novice to moderate difficulty. We typically spent between one half to 3 hours, depends on how many trails we tackle.
It's great to still find some critters along the way, scorpions, snakes, squirrels and monkeys were sighted. The flora had diminished somewhat, or the variety had retreated away from the trails perhaps.
Be cautious of slippery slopes especially if it had rained in the morning before.Written 10 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Maybe sighted 5 different types, many areas taped to prevent entry while "work" progressed. As with the overall gardens, too many concrete paths wending uphill and not too friendly for senior legs.Written 4 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas D21 contributionsTruly a detour worth in Kuala Lumpur! We enjoyed these gardens, which have different themes and are quite spread out. Worth a visit, as it is peaceful and free!Written 2 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- HighadventurerSingapore, Singapore5,034 contributionsBK park is closed during current MCO. Many people walk up from car park to guard house obviously to get some strength walking uphill and down
Maybe good for nature to be given a break from us human to regenerate !Written 22 January 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Honestly it's complete nonsense as this is a public park and me taking photos of wildlife is not disturbing anyone at all. Management should look into it. But anyways, spotted a Barred Eagle Owl sleeping in the trees 🦉 Many more species of birds, reptiles and mammals can be found from some monitor lizards to white throated kingfishers and long tailed macaques. Great place to just enjoy nature and have a nice walk.Written 15 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
