More KL Forest Eco Park Bukit Nanas Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur is the only city in the world that has a natural rainforest situated right at its centre. The KL Forest Eco Park (formerly known as the Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve) was gazette as a forest reserve in 1906 and is one of the oldest in Malaysia. Situated near the forest is one of the city’s skyline icons, the Kuala Lumpur Tower, which was constructed with utmost attention being paid to the environment to ensure that the natural surroundings of KL Forest Eco Park remain undisturbed.

KL Forest Eco Park or Taman Eko Rimba KL (formerly known as Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve or Hutan Simpan Bukit Nanas) is one of Malaysia’s oldest permanent forest reserves. Gazetted in 1906, KL Forest Eco Park is surrounded by a concrete jungle in the form of buildings and skyscrapers. The only remaining patch of tropical rainforest in central Kuala Lumpur. In fact, the rainforest park is located right next to one of Malaysia’s most recognizable landmarks, the Kuala Lumpur Tower (KL Tower). The park serves as the city’s green lung and is home to flora and fauna unique to Malaysia’s tropical rainforest.

The Bukit Nanas Forestry Reserved is located in front of Jalan Raja Chulan Kuala Lumpur and not far from the Telekom Museum. By car, drive up the hill at KL Tower and pay for the entrance fee and car park; admission to the forest reserve is free.

By Train: Take the Kelana Jaya Line LRT and stop at the Dang Wangi Station or take the KL monorail and disembark at the Bukit Nanas station. Those who use the Ampang Line LRT need to disembark at the Masjid Jamek LRT station. By Bus: The KL Hop-On Hop-Off bus takes you directly to KL Tower which is right next to the park. Taman Eko Rimba KL is also serviced by several buses to and from the city center.

Bukit Nanas, which means “Pineapple Hill”, is the last remaining virgin tropical jungle located in the center of Kuala Lumpur city. Originally known as Bukit Gombak, its story is very much tied to the history of Kuala Lumpur itself. Kuala Lumpur began when Raja Abdullah, a member of the Selangor Royal Family and Chieftain of Klang, hired a Chinese prospector to venture upstream from Klang to open new tin mines in the Ampang area. Eventually mining was successfully set up in Ampang, but the tin ore had to be transported downstream where supplies and provisions brought upstream by the boat.

In 1996, the Kuala Lumpur Tower was built on top of the hill to serve the telecommunication needs of the city, as well as a tourist attraction. At 421 meters in height, it is one of the tallest freestanding telecommunications towers in the world. The Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve has since been renovated and renamed as the KL Forest Eco Park. One of its new attractions when it was re-opened in November 2015 was the Canopy Walkway and trails through the forest which was made conveniently for the visitors to walk through the forest.
