Suitable for city-bound hikers and nature lovers of all experiences and ages, Taman Rimba Bukit Kerinchi gets my vote as KL’s answer to New York’s Central Park.

Desa Petaling hike
Not all gifts have bows to cut or wrapping to rip off. Desa Petaling trail’s 2 kilometre loop is one such gift, from a handful of passionate hikers and outdoor enthusiasts to the community.
Street Art @ Kuala Lumpur
KL is a colourful city. Here’s a collection of street art photos I’ve taken over time, some now painted over, faded or since torn down, but all a reminder of the often less celebrated creative forces that make KL such a visually compelling city.
Human Library @ Taman Tugu
Everyone has a story, and at Taman Tugu’s Human Library event, armed forces veterans, UN peace keepers, a zero waste practitioner and documentarian are among the authors of its open books.
Taman Tugu trails
Mostly flat and clearly marked out, Taman Tugu’s trails are the perfect training ground for absolute beginners to hiking, kids included.
Flowga @ Taman Tugu
Taman Tugu’s weekly flowga session takes stretching and flexibility outdoors amidst an urban forest setting.
Bukit Dinding hike
There’s a trail for everyone at KL’s Bukit Dinding in Taman Setiawangsa: a tarmac and cemented road for joggers, a wide forest trail for downhill bikers and a leafy narrow trail for hikers. I recently went on a walk that gave me a taste of all three.
Kuala Lumpur’s Most Haunted Places Tour
Want to see different kind of KL? Perhaps under the cover of darkness? A cycling tour of Kuala Lumpur’s Most Haunted Places will convince you that there’s a hidden side of the city most commuters don’t get to see.
Sri Bintang hike
Sri Bintang epitomises the urban hike. Neither park with paved trail nor forest reserve, this tiny swatch of green doesn’t even appear on the map – unlike nearby Desa Park City.
Bukit Saga hike
While there are parts of Ampang’s Bukit Saga that are quiet and unspoilt, other parts can feel overly tended and less than natural. Still Bukit Saga is beloved by the community it serves. And the community loves it straight back.
