A Glimpse of the Rainforest from Kuala Lumpur A Glimpse of the Rainforest from Kuala Lumpur

Visit the Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) which offers visitors the opportunity of understanding the tropical rainforest ecosystem. Walk through shady nature trails and visit arboretums, among them the Dipte Rocarp, a collection centre of living trees for botanical reference and Bambusetum displaying some 30 species of local bamboo. This trail winds its way through one of FRIM’s oldest plantations and boasts of statuesque commercial timber trees. Logging is now prohibited in all rainforest reserves in Malaysia.
