Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve (GPS: 3.151, 101.70207) is the only protected forest area within the heart of Kuala Lumpur. It covers Bukit Nanas, a hillock within the city which is bounded by Jalan Ampang and Jalan Sultan Ismail on the northern side, Jalan P. Ramlee on the eastern side, Jalan Gereja on the western side and Jalan Raja Chulan on the southern side. Jalan Puncak leads up to the top of the hill while Jalan Bukit Nanas is a hill road along its side. The forest reserve has a forestry museum and visitor centre to learn more about the rain forest.

Today Bukit Nanas is topped with the Kuala Lumpur Tower. It has an observation deck and revolving restaurant at the top. Also situated on Bukit Nanas are St John's Institution and Convent Bukit Nanas, two schools established during the British colonial era. St John's Institution is gazetted as a National Heritage Site.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
