🌿 Exploring Taman Tugu: Kuala Lumpur’s Hidden Rainforest Escape! 🇲🇾 | Hiking, Monkeys & History

Join me on a wonderful hike through Taman Tugu, one of Kuala Lumpur’s green lungs. 🌳 In this typical Planet Doug small adventure, I explore this stunning 66-acre rainforest park right in the heart of KL, uncovering its history, wildlife (including cheeky macaques!), and lush trails.

📍 Where is Taman Tugu?
Nestled near KL’s famous attractions like the Bird Park and National Monument, this green oasis offers a perfect escape from the city chaos.

🚶 What to Expect:
✔️ Beautiful rainforest trails (with maps & checkpoints)
✔️ Rare century-old trees & biodiversity
✔️ Wild macaque monkeys up close! 🐒
✔️ Fascinating history (from British colonial homes to a protected forest)
✔️ Tips for visiting (best times, parking, & avoiding crowds)

📅 When to Go?
Early mornings on weekdays for a peaceful hike—or join the lively weekend crowds for a fun atmosphere!
