FRIM Kepong FRIM or Forest Research Institute of Malaysia is a must for all nature lovers who are in the capital city of Kuala Lumpur. It is located in the suburb city of Petaling Jaya, approximately 16km north west of the capital city. It was founded in the year 1929 and is one of the leading institutions in tropical forestry research both locally and abroad. This 600 hectares 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 greeneries.
As you come down from the canopy walk, go towards the signage that shows the direction to the picnic area by following the water pipelines and you will soon encounter an area where you can have some fun in the water. The water is refreshing and cool. Remember to wear a good walking shoes, bring along your towel, drinking water and some foodstuff as there are no shops up in the jungle. A can of insect repellant will come in handy especially if you encounter some mosquitoes or other insects along the way.
