FRIM Crown Shyness Nature Hike

We have an amazing time on the FRIM (Kepong) Crown Shyness nature hike today, Sat 5 Sep 2026. This is nature’s unique creation in the sky where the topmost branches of the Kapur Trees grow close but don't touch the other trees.

Our nature guide was our fellow hiker friend, Aivee Chong. It is great to see more visitors, including international tourists, exploring the FRIM Forest Park Selangor now that it has achieved UNESCO status. 

To capture the jigsaw puzzle pattern in the sky created by the Crown Shyness trees, along with the people below, I used a 24mm lens; however, it wasn't wide enough. It would be better to use a 15mm (or wider) lens instead.

If you want to visit, make sure to reserve your spot by emailing: frim_enquiry@frim.gov.my

RM150 per team for a maximum of 10 participants.

The main administration building of FRIM was established in 1929 under the direction of Dr F.W. Foxworthy (hence, one of the roads in FRIM is named after him). In another 3 years' time, that would be 100 years old.

Jeram Perlus Waterfall Hike

The hike to Jeram Perlus Waterfall features a gradual ascent along well-defined trails. After passing the orchard, a single, clear path leads straight to the destination. Best of all, you can reach the waterfall without getting your shoes wet. This is my maiden hike to this waterfall.

Other hikers have reported that this trail is usually full of leeches. Fortunately, it was the dry season when we went, so the trail was dry and there were only a few around. Still, if you plan to hike this trail, you should definitely be prepared for leeches.

Booking in advance is highly recommended. The owner serves as the head chef, managing the kitchen with just two helpers. Reservations are required to space out arrival times so the small kitchen team can properly manage the flow of diners.
