KL Tower
Soaring to 421m, and considered a main feature of the city skyline,
the KL Tower is the world's fourth tallest communications tower.
To experience the exhilarating view from the KL Tower, you can
go to the 335-metre high observation deck on a high-speed lift.
From here, the city's eccentric architecture and lush greenery will
be laid out before you.
The Bukit Nanas Forest reserve, also known as the 'Green Lung'
of KL City, is located just beside the KL Tower. This uniquely 'real'
plot of ancient rainforest offers a walking trail and has flora
and fauna indigenous to Malaysia. Here, you get the frankly surreal
opportunity to see colourful butterflies, insects, monkeys, squirrels
and exotic birds in their natural habitat - all within earshot of
the hum of downtown traffic!
The latest attraction at KL Tower and Bukit Nanas is a reverse
bungee called The G-Force. Not for the faint of heart, your ride
will be recorded and given to you on a DVD.
On top of the KL Tower is the Seri Angkasa revolving restaurant
where you can sample an international buffet spread while watching
a continuously revolving view of the Kuala Lumpur skyline.
 Key
Tips |
It is an uphill walk to the tower from the downtown streets, so
if you are not overly fond of the heat and/or walking, do take a
taxi. There are occasionally traditional and contemporary musical
performances here, so get in touch with the tower information desk
before you go.
| How
to get there |
By Monorail or Taxi
The easiest way to get to the Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve is via
the KL Monorail and PUTRA LRT. The nearest PUTRA LRT station to
Kuala Lumpur Tower is the Dang Wangi station. You could also take
the KL Monorail and disembark at the Bukit Nanas station. From there
you need to either take a taxi or walk up Jalan Sultan Ismail then
turn right on Jalan P. Ramlee, and right again up the hill. The
KL Tower entrance will be on your left.
