The most beautiful natural sites to discover Kuala Lumpur & Selangor

A miniature rainforest has been recreated in the Taman Rama Rama Park(rama means "butterfly"), with all the necessary moisture produced by a network of streams and waterfalls. There are 6,000 butterflies of 150 different species, some impressive in size and color, which happily stamp their feet, drunk on the juices of the 15,000 plants available to them. An enchanting experience, although the permanent exhibition area that follows the garden, with vivariums and information panels, could use a little refresher.

Welcome to the largest aviary in the world! It reproduces the natural habitat of birds in a huge park. More than 3,000 birds, including 200 endemic species, live here in a space of 85,000 m². Two shows are performed every day at 12:30 and 15:30. Among the birds in semi-liberty, the rhinoceros toucan, one of the largest toucans in the world, is honored. The photo-souvenir with parakeets, eagles or multicolored macaws is part of the visit. And for the romantics, don't miss the Love aviary and its inseparable birds.

This beautiful 320-hectare park of mangrove and scrubland is a renowned bird reserve: 300,000 migratory birds of 30 different species stop off here every year on specially created artificial lakes. 130 species of birds live here permanently. You can also see monkeys and all the species of the mangrove. There are trails to explore the park. You can pick up a map at reception. You can also rent a cottage for the night.

Every night thousands of fireflies start flashing in search of a partner for the night. The ideal time to see this natural wonder is around 7:30 pm. It is easy to rent a sampan or a small boat at the park jetty to go up the canals through the mangroves. Excursions take place between 7pm and 10.30pm and last between 30 and 40 minutes. A piece of advice: take your mosquito repellent as these areas are very swampy. The use of flash is prohibited.
