With a convenient location in Kepong, about a 45-minute drive from the center of Kuala Lumpur, FRIM can be visited in just one day, making it an ideal attraction for travelers with limited time. Highlights include the towering timber trees along the Keruing nature trail and the giant arowana, a fish measuring more than 7 feet (2 meters) in length. You can also explore the park during day or night.
FRIM is a must-visit for nature lovers.
A free fish spa is located at the entrance of the reserve.
The most accessible trails are the Keruing Trail and the Salleh Trail.
FRIM also has a campsite where you can stay overnight. Advance booking is required.
From Kuala Lumpur, you can hire a car and drive 30–45 minutes to the forest via Route 1, or take bus 152 from central Kuala Lumpur. Driving or taking a taxi is undoubtedly the best way to access the park, and also allows you to make a stop at the nearby Batu Caves.
FRIM is open from Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm. Guided tours can be arranged upon arrival.
FRIM is home to a phenomenon found in only two other places in the world. The oddly named Crown Shyness refers to a mosaic-like pattern created by leaves when they “shy” away from one another and leave distinguishable gaps between the trees. The phenomenon can be observed by gazing upwards.
