Overall a good experience. However, the nature trekking was a bit short. Booked for morning slot but was only informed when arrived FRIM that no tour guide is available and we can't proceed, had to reschedule to 12pm slot. The driver who was in charge of our transport was extremely friendly, helpful and responsible, a big shout out to Mr Mohd Fauzi from Asni Global.

It’s a nice getaway from the bustling activity of Kuala Lumpur! Situated in Kepong, the institute is a green lung and full of interesting plants in a man made jungle that was started almost 100 years ago! Lots of nice types of accommodation for those who like staying close to nature, they have hostels, camping grounds, chalets and even colonial type bungalows for rental and events!
