Perdana Botanical Gardens

Soothing vibes at a lush inner-city oasis
Word to the wise: The gardens are vast and there's not much cover, so bring an umbrella in case you're caught in a KL downpour.

Close your eyes, open your nostrils and inhale deeply to fully enjoy the gorgeous scents of the tropical plants at Perdana Lake Gardens. This beautifully landscaped and carefully maintained 80-hectare oasis incorporates an orchid garden and a hibiscus garden, with hundreds of different plant species, including the stunning red hibiscus, the country's national flower. There is also KL Bird Park, KL Butterfly Park, KL Deer Park and much more here.
Hire your own paddle-boat at the lake or stroll along the paths, past man-made fountains, under pergolas and by meandering brooks. Then find a seat and contemplate nature's splendour.
