Tasik Taman Jaya

Reviewed By Charchoalmewt

Was here by accident and it was really better than i expected. Clean park with clean toilets and ample rubbish bins, the management of the park has done a good job. I think if they had a bigger budget, definitely a few upgrades and beautification works would make this a very pleasant park. Keep it up.

Heard much about this indoor ski experience and so happy I tried it. I’m an avid skier but let’s face it, how many ski trips can u make in a year living in Malaysia?...2 if ur lucky! So here’s what I felt my 1st time @First Traxx: *You get a true ‘downhill ski experience’ *It’s perfect training for ur ski trip & I highly recommend anyone planning a trip to do a package here before going. U will enjoy ur trip so much more. *It’s harder than actual skiing...for those used to downhill. But only because u have to get used to the ground moving while u stay almost stationary. Once u adapt, it’s fine. *It’s a great core, bum & leg workout. Even if you’re not planning a ski holiday, this is a great way to stay fit. And waaaaay more fun than a treadmill or gym. *It will make u a better skier. U will develop better ski and edge control. Your turns will be smoother and more crisp. I can’t wait to go back. Going to try snowboarding next...cos learning this while on a trip is a frustrating waste of a holiday. Overall, a great activity that I highly recommend. The place is clean, cool n well maintained. Staff & instructors were helpful & knowledgeable. And the in-house cafe serves a mean chocolate brownie for après ski!!!

FRIM -Forest Research Institute of Malaysia

Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife on the nature trails. Then enjoy a bird's-eye-view of the trees by crossing the Canopy Walkway. This unique conservation facility is located 20 kilometers from Kuala Lumpur.

Johnson, our guide, was very knowledgeable and interesting, explaining all about seed dispersal, plant species, rainforest ecology and the local history of the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM). The hike was great (although definitely bring mosquito repellant and wear long clothing and hiking boots for protection) and we learned a lot about the different species of trees and that the FRIM is a completely man-made rejuvenated forest of over 1,500 acres which used to be open-cut tin mines. Our favourite part of the hike was observing the "Crown Shyness" - a beautiful mosaic caused by a mysterious natural phenomenon where the leaves of the canopy layers "shy" away from each other. You need to book a guide in advance if you want this experience. We also did Batu Caves in the morning and then tagged on FRIM in the afternoon which is doable for a whole day trip.

The Secret Garden Utama

Reviewed By georgiovalentino - Hyderabad, India

It is located on the top floor of 1 Utama shopping mall and it has a huge collection of plants and flowers. I visited it along with a friend in the afternoon and it was hot, so could not explore it fully. It's better to go there in the evening. There is no entrance fee but there are very few visitors inside when we went there.
