Birdsong and wall-to-wall greenery replaces the drone of traffic and air-conditioning at the Forestry Research Institute of Malaysia. About 16km northwest of KL, and covering nearly 600 hectares, the institute was established in 1929 to research the sustainable management of malaysias rainforests. For visitors and locals alike, FRIM functions as a giant park, with quiet roads for cycling and well-established trails though the jungle landscape.
There's also a wide variety of flora and native wildlife to discover, from leaf monkeys and colorful birds, to indigenous fruit trees, and rare old dipterocarps.
