Malaysia Travel

Today I visit Kuala Lumpur Orchid Garden. It is located in Lake Garden Kuala Lumpur. There are many beautiful orchid that can bee seen in the garden.

How to go to the Kuala Lumpur Orchid Garden

There are many option for anyone that want to visit Kuala Lumpur Orchid Garden. One of them is by taking the ‘KL-Hop on Hop off’ buses. This is one of the best way, because this buses will take you to lots of interesting place in Kuala Lumpur and not just the Orchid Garden. Inform the driver that you want to visit Kuala Lumpur Orchid Garden in Lake Garden (Taman Tasik Perdana – in Malays language) and I am sure he will able to assist you.

One more method is by taking taxi. I am not sure how much is the fare (because it will be depend on the traffic and also the distance from your hotel), normally taxi in KL will start from RM2.50, when you took it, and it will increase depending on the time taken.
