Why go
The gardens offer a spacious counterpoint to central Kuala Lumpur’s dense streets. Follow the lake and jogging paths, then choose among the orchid, hibiscus, herb and ethnobotany collections rather than trying to cover every corner. The park’s origins in an experimental garden also give its formal planting a deeper purpose.
What to look for
- Perdana Lake, created by damming Sungei Bras Bras during the park’s early development
- Orchid, hibiscus, herb and ethnobotany gardens within the larger landscape
- A network of jogging paths through one of Kuala Lumpur’s oldest planned parks
Useful to know
- Use the lake as the backbone of the visit, then branch into the plant collections that interest you most.
- Combine the gardens with the nearby National Monument, National Museum or Islamic Arts Museum rather than crossing the city between stops.
