@@remotedarren thanx for introducing this place to viewers..i think many more will follow suit. as a malaysian it's a shame i've never been there myself..
It is beautiful and clean very nice you must be love it there and the food you love you like it there better then. Yorkshire is always wet and cold. Very lucky to be there you love the food and the weather thank you for your beautiful video.
Another great video, Darren. I'm glad you highlighted one of the "green lungs" of the city. And yes... the Attenborough commentary still cracks me up. Cheers!
Oh my god.. it is so peaceful, though i live in kl.. i know the place but never been there yet.. i love the sounds of crickets and all the natural sounds
truly a hidden gem in KL people usually come to taman tugu early in the morning as the urban heat will build up rapidly during mid day. latest hour to visit should be by 10AM
Thanks for watching, and yes, very sweaty but thoroughly enjoyed the trails as you can see! 😆 Yes, been to Bukit Nanas, I've done a video on that explore. That's another area great for exploring.
I can imagine how hot and humid it must be, judging from the still leaves. barely even a breeze. thanks for showing us this nice trail. i've only ever passed by Tugu Negara. never been inside. will try and go next time i'm in KL :)
i give you double hi 5😊😊...oh darren..you are one of a kind..i don't know if any other tourist do what you do..anyway, great video and i enjoyed very much watching it..(didn't know this trail exist🙈🙈)..hv a safe flight to bkk tomorrow..been busy these few months and didn't get much time to follow your youtube channel but still hope that we can meet one day..
Hey Rashidi, thank you, I do like to find places which are not often explored by tourists and if it means a few locals get to find places too, that's even better (you should go, it's great!) 😆As for checking out the channel, no worries, life takes over, and I am back in March, so maybe we could meet up then!
Thanks for d video. It still exists! D taman asean. My previous workplace, ISIS Malaysia (Institute of strategic n international studies) is just a few minutes walk away from this place, tugu pahlawan. This is a very rare video. U showcased 3 beautiful places, Taman asean, tugu pahlawan n taman tugu. You'll b back soon to Malaysia soon, right! Enjoy your explorations n your fav nasi lemak.
Hi Darren how are you? That sculpture park looks a lovely place to be and really enjoyed the jungle/forest walk 😃 . Can't wait to see you do more trails like this.
Hey Jamie, I'm good thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video, love exploring places like that, alongside the street life. I'm really getting into hiking trails so will be looking for out more on my travels!
Thanks for your appreciation. I started to love the place and appreciate parks we have in KL since i have few opportunities visiting parks in other countries, i realised KL has great park too.
Great video and thoroughly enjoyed the humour through the commentary! I hope you had a good cold drink after that effort. I was exhausted just watching! Have a great day Darren :)
That was one hell of a hike. And it is in the city? Glad you enjoyed it rather than sitting in the apartment and looking at Netflix hehe. You can do that later :P Awesome place to get some exercise in.
I think it's a recent additional, phase 1 opened in September, and phase 2 towards the end of the year. Phase 3 is currently being developed, so not sure when that will be completed.
Tmn Tugu is part of ongoing improvement project of the existing KL lake garden..tht cost half billion RM funded by Msian Sovereign Wealth Fund called Khazanah. Cant wait for the overall project to complete to see if its worth the investment amount
Darren.. since you love nature.. try KL Forest Eco Park at Bukit Nanas where KL Tower is...it's another forest in the city and you can enjoy canopy walk too...
Hi Darren... I've been here nearly half a century but never been to where you explored except Tugu Negara... anyway, nice video Darren and beautiful place for hiking. Oh.. the weired tree... I think it's a Palm Tree...hope somebody correct me if I'wrong.. nice job..waiting for you next video👍
Hey Hashim, the trails are relatively new, opened up late 2018, only found out about it because of people leaving comments about it here, otherwise I would have missed it. Highly recommended, great walk around there.
If You Like the Outdoors, you should going to Janda Baik its about 40min from the city centre, it is located on a Mountain hill next to Genting Highland. Kampung Style Living or Home stays too a must try when you need a change of pace, friendly people lots of fruit trees. Lots of local wildlife like monkeys, Birls, wild boars,, squirrels and many more A must if you like Nature with comfortable livings Cheers
Congratulations on passing 8k subscribers! Too bad you weren't about to get any shots of the lizards, but it was a beautiful hike. You didn't sound dumb asking about the tree. Smart people ask questions; dumb people think they already have all the answers! LOL I hope you enjoyed your swim.
Hi! Are you aware that the memorial was in the early days erected in KL town near the national mosque and the train station !? I guess in the 60s they shifted to the spot where it is today! Actually I don't really agree of this shifting ! And just add on...... Did you know the entrance of Central Market where it's a car park now was 2 row of colonial shop back to back. And the row facing the main road has round arch on the entrance of each shop!(beautiful). The side of Central Market was a wide road for parking,a walk way and access ! But they narrow the side road and make it only a walk way which was hardly used! Otherwise the front of Central Market will have beautiful colonial building for cafe, retailer, restaurant, hostels, souvenir shops, offices, ...etc!! So sad they makes a harsh permanently wrong decision planning!!! It always happen!
Best time to go trekking into forest is first thing in the morning (from 7am onwards). Going there at noon or afternoon can be very hot. A bit later in the afternoon is okay (maybe around 4 to 6) but after 6 is when the mosquitoes usually come out to feed. Bring LOTS of bottled water with you because it can get pretty humid and hot so you will lose a lot of water through sweating. Wear hiking shoes or walking shoes that has a bit of traction. Not a bad idea to spray yourself with some mosquito repellent spray before starting your trek. In this particular place, as the trails are somewhat quiet, it's best to let someone know that you are going for a trek there (if you are going there by yourself), just to be on the safe side.
i recommend u may go to the Falim forest reserve kepong,kuala lumpur,i love that area,almost likes a virgin jungle recreation park.best for hiking or jogging.
Maybe you wanna meet and collaborate with the cycling canadian.. hes in malaysia right now also doing solo travelling.. you both could partner up to make a trip together..
Hi Darren, I would recommend Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) in Kepong. Really near to Hartamas. Can get Grab to go there. I like to hike there because of the beautiful trees and it is different because the trees is old.
Hey, I'm a full-time traveller and remote worker so don't spend enough time in one place to really make friends but i meet up with a few locals as I travel around.
@@remotedarren I hope that year you stay longer in Malaysia .. Because it will give you more time to explore every corner of the country along with different foods and recipes..
According to Najib Razak ex pm, Tmn Tugu will be enlarge with a huge cost as a big jungle in the city for nice place to visit .Back to nature.But Najib has gone...
Darren, if you Go back to Britain one day you will freak out, do you know that? Stay there and do not come back, here is horrible. Im glad that you have peacefull ride ...
we miss our ex prime minister najib razak... taman tugu one of his project... he want malaysia have a large rain forest park like central park in new york
all ex prime minister najib razak project all good... like a modern city... mrt, high speed train kl- singapore, river of live dan this taman tugu... but our new prime minister don't like all this project
you know what darren? i think this the first time ever someone features taman tugu on his video. seriously! nice job..very nice!
Hey Mat, that's good to read because I want to feature more places that very few have created videos on.
@@remotedarren thanx for introducing this place to viewers..i think many more will follow suit. as a malaysian it's a shame i've never been there myself..
Hi Darren, thanks for the sharing. I am a Malaysian staying in KL, your videos make me appreciate what we have here.
Thanks for watching. Yes, I understand, when you live somewhere it's difficult to appreciate what you have. Love KL.
Darren, Good thing about you is,,,you keep on with good smiles even when you feels exhausted, lol
larrykp1 hey Larry 👋🏻 yes true, but I could have crawled up those last few steps on my hands and knees 😂
"I could have been watching Netflix" LOL 🤣🤣🤣 Glad you chose to go out. It looked like a beautiful place.
Darryl K 😂 it really was, loved exploring here and will be back!
It is beautiful and clean very nice you must be love it there and the food you love you like it there better then. Yorkshire is always wet and cold. Very lucky to be there you love the food and the weather thank you for your beautiful video.
The weather has been kind to me, fantastic sunshine and when it has rained, it has only for 10 minutes or so in the evening.
Another great video, Darren. I'm glad you highlighted one of the "green lungs" of the city. And yes... the Attenborough commentary still cracks me up. Cheers!
I think I might do a video where only Attenborough commentary is included 😂Thanks for watching and being supportive!
Oh my god.. it is so peaceful, though i live in kl.. i know the place but never been there yet.. i love the sounds of crickets and all the natural sounds
MF KL hey, you should go, it’s a great place to go exploring.

You came at the right time. The weather this time of the year is sunny ☀️☀️☀️
The weather has been perfect! 😆
Haven't been there in two decades
Must make a trip soon
Thanks for showing me my own city
😆
You should, and head here too, it's one of the latest additions to KL, with the trails.
looked like a hot one...the droning of the bugs was a nice sound
Yep, think it was around 32c and humid! The noises are fantastic, birds, bugs, and who knows what else is lurking there! 😆
I enjoy your taman tugu video! the green forest so lush and refreshing.. cant wait to go hiking!!! hopefully you can do the video for longer trail!
truly a hidden gem in KL
people usually come to taman tugu early in the morning as the urban heat will build up rapidly during mid day. latest hour to visit should be by 10AM
kgdangar2 I’m still in bed at 10AM 😂
I like to go around 10am or even at noon. This is the time when i have the place to myself due to the morning crowd have all but gone.
Wow great. I haven't been there yet. I think you are the first explorer to explore that Taman tugu. Tq for Sharing
Hah, I think I might be the first foreigner to do a video there on TH-cam, but could be wrong! It was a great place to explore!
That's a gorgeous and lush park. So accessible. You look sweaty but happy. Have you been to Bukit Nanas near KL tower? It has a canopy walk.
Thanks for watching, and yes, very sweaty but thoroughly enjoyed the trails as you can see! 😆 Yes, been to Bukit Nanas, I've done a video on that explore. That's another area great for exploring.

chubipower yes, it was rather hot and humid. You should visit, it’s great!
Wonderful Darren. Wonderful forest park. I must visit this park soon.
Yes, you should, I suspect it'll get busier at the weekend, but very few people walking during the week day.
Great exercise. Great video
Thank you for watching, and yes, was pretty sweaty when I got back 😂
Omg i love nature. Its a nice video. Thanks Darren. I myself never been there!
Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed the video and you should head there if you are in KL!

Thank you for watching, I really enjoyed exploring here today and highly recommend it!
Thanks for this Darren. I live in KL and didn't know about this. The city definitely needs more green trails like this.
Very nice! I've never been there before but enjoyed your introduction to Taman Tugu.
Thank you for watching! If you live in KL, I highly recommend visiting.
Great video and thoroughly enjoyed the humour through the commentary! I hope you had a good cold drink after that effort. I was exhausted just watching! Have a great day Darren :)
Thank you for watching, Andrea and glad you enjoyed it. I loved exploring around here and filming it.
That was one hell of a hike. And it is in the city? Glad you enjoyed it rather than sitting in the apartment and looking at Netflix hehe. You can do that later :P Awesome place to get some exercise in.
Hey Vegard, yes, it was in the city, not far from KL Sentral main station. Lost a few lbs in sweat I think LOL
@@remotedarren Awesome they have places like that so central. Felt like you where in the jungle :P
Never knew there's a park down there. Wow, a jungle in the middle of a city. Yet you found one. Been there once at the statues of the fallen heroes.
I think it's a recent additional, phase 1 opened in September, and phase 2 towards the end of the year. Phase 3 is currently being developed, so not sure when that will be completed.
@@remotedarren
TQ sir. Most appreciated for the info and vids
Another great video!
That flower was the "Bird of paradise "
Titansteel thanks for sharing, saw lots of them. Really colourful
@@remotedarrenYes, they do come in many colors and the flower resembles
a colorful bird in flight and hence the name. 👍
Great footage! Its really good. I feel like im the one walking with you. Haha. that climbing exhaustion ughhh
Sya Zee hah I’m just unfit for most people I’m sure it wouldn’t be that bad! Glad you enjoyed the video

Hi Darren love watching your videos, I love watching solo travelers, it feels more personal. May I know how old are you?
Hey, thank you for watching the video, it inspires me to create more! I'm very old, 45, and next week I'll be 46 😱

So now Darren, We will appoint you as our tour leader for local residents to show us around hehe..

Taman tugu, One of my favorite park in Kuala Lumpur
gary lim one of mine too now, thanks for mentioning it!
@@remotedarren you need to train your stamina now. Haha.
Usually I can finish walk around this park within 30 to 40 minutes.
gary lim hah Id love to do it all again and this time without having to film it. When I come back in March I’ll be heading back there.
@@remotedarren for safety caution, please do not come before, after or during raining day

andy stubbs it’s pretty new, only opened back end of last year. Recommend an explore there!
The palm with the fruits at 13:50 are the african oil palm tree. Important for the Malaysian economy.
Namasatu Namaakhir ahhh 🤦♂️ thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed the video!
How come it is called as AFRICAN oil palm tree? Is this oil palm tree came from Africa?
@@korovuluan6291 That's right!

it was imported as ornamental trees . but research transformed the crop into commercial vegetable oil production
amazing! thanks for sharing :)

Look like u lost some weight, keep going
It's due to all the sweat loss 😂I've lost a few pounds in last two weeks, due to going to the gym every week day morning! 😅
How different is this jungle trail with the ones at Bukit Nanas (KL Tower)?
Hey, much better, other than you don't have the treetop walk on these trails. It is bigger, and are two trails, with a third coming soon, I think.
@@remotedarren thx Darren for that info. I am a Malaysian but I haven't explored the jungle trails as much as you! Envy you!🤗😁
