A thriving cosmopolitan city, Kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia and provides visitors with an unforgettable holiday adventure. While the city is known for its modern cityscape and the iconic Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur also makes a great base from which to set off on excursions to areas of the country which let you experience stunning natural beauty. One such site worth visiting is Templer Park. Located around 22kms from Kuala Lumpur, the park which is in actual fact a forest reserve can be found in the Klang Valley. Covering an area of around 1,214 hectares, the park has been named after a former British High Commissioner, Sir Gerald Templer. A wildlife sanctuary as well, Templer Park has truly breathtaking natural landscapes featuring idyllic cascading waterfalls and streams along with charming picnic areas where you can enjoy a relaxed meal with family and friends, surrounded by nature's own splendour. You can walk along a special track which leads you through the park and to waterfalls. Along the trail you will come across camping spots that are strategically located near streams and which offer perfect spots for those looking to spend more time outdoors surrounded by the tranquillity of nature. A great place for nature photography, the site also attracts bird watchers looking to spot avi-fauna; the crested serpent eagle, the hawk-cuckoo, woodpeckers, the blue-winged leafbird and the emerald dove are among the bird species that can be seen here. There are fishing spots here as well and spending the day casting your line with not a care in the world is a truly relaxing activity. Templer Park is also home to a fascinating range of wildlife. Apart from the park monkey, the area is home to the Malaysian crested lizard, a variety of goat-antelope known as the serow and various toads. Those in search of a luxurious Kuala Lumpur hotel in which to unwind after a long day at the park can stay at Grand Millennium Kuala Lumpur. This hotel in Bukit Bintang is centrally located in the city's Golden Triangle area and offers easy access to some of the finest business, shopping and entertainment venues. Google+
