About 22km north of KL beside Hwy 1, Templer was once part of a rubber estate, but the Forestry Department took over in the 1980s, preserving 1200 hectares of primary jungle from the developers. Today it's a popular weekend retreat for nature-oriented locals, with walking and jogging trails (also good for mountain bikes), picnic tables and a series of ponds, streams and waterfalls where you can swim (modestly dressed of course). There are no signs saying 'Templer Park' – look instead for the sign saying 'Hutan Lipur Kanching', which marks the path to the waterfalls area.
Metrobus 43 runs here every 15 minutes from the Bangkok Bank bus stand on Lebuh Pudu in Chinatown (RM2).
