#24 Glamping & Campsites in Malaysia · 2026
Taman Rimba Bukit Kerinchi
🌺🌺🌺 Worth the Detour · ⛺ Glamping & Campsites
Why go
A slice of real forest right next to Bangsar South, with a canopy walk, picnic spots and a camping ground that local groups have long used. It's about as close to camping as you can get without leaving the city — just sort out DBKL permission first if you want to stay the night. Basic and DIY, so bring everything yourself.
⭐ Don't miss: The canopy walkway and hilltop view over Bangsar South

DBKL's forest park on the KL side of the Gasing ridge is a gentle green escape between Bangsar South and Pantai Dalam, with a hanging bridge and shaded loops. Keen legs can link through to Bukit Gasing for a proper workout, but most families just stroll, picnic and go makan after.
Don't miss: The hanging bridge, then the ridge link toward Bukit Gasing if you want more

The classic KL weekend-warrior loop: wide dirt paths, rolling ridges and a cafe crowd waiting at the bottom. Dogs, joggers and families all share it, so it feels friendly rather than wild.
