Getting to Bukit Nanas

Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve, right in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, can be considered a "secret hideaway" for many of us. We do pass by the site a lot of the times, as this permanent forest park is centrally located within the Golden Triangle of Kuala Lumpur, but do not realize it existed since it was gazetted as a permanent forest reserve more than a 100 years ago!



Getting to Bukit Nanas:

To reach the Forest Park, there are several alternatives. Visitors can drive or take the public transportation such as taxis, KL Monorail, KJ LRT Line, or RapidKL buses (buses not recommended).


Driving:
For those who are driving, we suggest you "CAR POOL" with those who are coming for the Fun Day.  

1. To Menara KL Car Park
Drive to Menara KL via Jalan P Ramlee, Jalan Puncak and into the access to Menara KL. Park your car and ask the staff  (or guards) of Menara KL in the vicinity to point you to the suspension bridge (back of the mini zoo). Walk on the suspension bridge into the forest and at the end of the walk, you will have arrived!

Limited Parking lots and parking charges at RM 2.65 per hour. Opens from 8.15am onwards.

Alternative A:
You can park just at the base of Menara KL - a flat rate is chargeable on a Sunday. Walk to the Guardhouse at the entrance to the access road to Menara KL to wait for the shuttle van service to Menara KL. Ask (from the driver) for the suspension bridge to Bukit Nanas behind the mini zoo, walk on it to arrive to the site of BAR Malaysia Fun Day 2011.

**Shuttle Service commences at only 8.30am onwards and are not regular/limited seats. Walk up to Menara KL as an alternative.

Alternative B:
Drive to Jalan Raja Chulan (opp the Church) to the Information Center of Bukit Nanas. There is an open parking space beside the Information Center.
Walk up the trail pointing towards Menara KL and Open field. Once you had reached the open field - you will have arrived!

Alternative C:
Park at Jalan Ampang (opposite Wisma Denmark / Dang Wangi Station - KJ LRT Line & beside Wariseni) open car park. Look for Wariseni - a building housing timber products and walk up the concrete steps.
