Walking Guide: Monorail Raja Chulan → KL Forest Eco Park

A Short Walk to KL’s Urban Rainforest

KL Forest Eco Park.

Destination

KL Forest Eco Park, formerly known as the Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve, is one of the oldest permanent forest reserves in Malaysia and the only tropical rainforest within Kuala Lumpur’s city center. Just minutes from the bustle of Raja Chulan, it offers lush greenery, canopy walks, and trails that showcase native flora and fauna. Visitors can experience the rare contrast of skyscrapers rising above a living rainforest — making this walk a unique blend of nature and city life.

In less than 10 minutes, you can step out of the bustling streets of Kuala Lumpur and into a 9-hectare tropical rainforest right in the heart of the city. The KL Forest Eco Park offers a rare chance to experience lush greenery, diverse wildlife, and elevated canopy walks—all within walking distance from the Raja Chulan Monorail Station.
