FRIM (Forest Research Institute Malaysia)

FRIM or Forest Research Institute of Malaysia is a must visit for nature lovers who are in the capital city of Kuala Lumpur. It is located in the suburb city of Kepong. This 600-hectare tropical forest contains a wealth of flora and fauna with approximately 15,000 species of plants, though for a layman in botanic, all of them look like greenery.

As you enter FRIM, you will be amazed by the arboretums or living museum of trees. Walk through the many nature trails and discover the many species of flora and fauna here. There are a few nature trails that you can explore. The popular ones are the Keruing Trail and the Salleh Nature Trail. Of particular interest is the park’s canopy walkway, which is now closed until further notice. Other activities that you can do include camping, family and team building activities, picnic near the waterfall and jogging that will enable you to escape from the outside world for a moment.
