Taking a break from the city's hustle and bustle is easy in Selangor. Besides the breathtaking nature retreats and attractions, this brand new Forest Skywalk in Selangor should definitely be on your radar!
Situated at the Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) in Selangor, make your way to the all-new Forest Skywalk, also known as Jejantas Rimba! Opened on 31 August 2020, the skywalk measures up 18 to 50 metres high and 250 meters in length.
According to FRIM's latest Facebook post, the main structure of Forest Skywalk is built using aluminium and supported with 'guy wire', a tensioned cable that's often used to add stability to any free-standing structure.
Once you make your way to the top of the Forest Skywalk, visitors will be treated to an incredible panorama of Kepong Botanic Gardens and the man-made forest that sits in the heart of FRIM.
For any visitors who are brave enough to climb to the 50-meter platform, the highest lookout point of Forest Skywalk, you can even spot the buildings surrounding Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya including KLCC, Menara Tun Razak Exchange, and Menara Telekom Malaysia!
