The Kepong Forest Skywalk, nestled within the Kepong Botanic Gardens in Selangor, Malaysia, is a captivating attraction that offers a unique vantage point of the forest canopy. Managed by the Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM), this skywalk is designed to provide an immersive experience, allowing visitors to explore the natural environment from an elevated perspective.
Constructed with aluminium and reinforced with steel tubes, the Kepong Forest Skywalk features 11 towers and 8 bridges, with heights ranging from 18 meters to 50 meters. The entire structure spans 250 meters, with the highest point reaching 141 meters above sea level. This engineering marvel offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, including the lush greenery of the man-made forest, thematic plantings, ponds of the Kepong Botanic Gardens, and the distant skyline of Kuala Lumpur.
Visitors begin their adventure with a short walk from the Forest Skywalk office to the starting point of the skywalk. The journey along the skywalk typically takes about 30 to 40 minutes, providing ample time to observe the diverse flora and fauna of the forest. During the fruiting season from June to September, visitors may spot durian trees laden with fruit, insects and birds. Long-tailed macaques and black giant squirrels are also commonly seen, adding to the enchanting experience of walking among the treetops.
The Kepong Forest Skywalk is not only a recreational attraction but also educational. It aims to raise awareness about the importance of forest conservation and the role of research in preserving natural habitats. Open to visitors from Saturday to Thursday, the skywalk offers adventure, education, and natural beauty, making it a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and tourists alike.
