Trailing Botanical Park Putrajaya




Our Putrajaya park trailing continued today with an evening walk in the Botanical Park or Taman Botani in Putrajaya. It is a man made tropical garden which located in Precint 1 and houses all kinds of Malaysian living plants as well as other tropical flora and fauna. 

We started our trail from the Canopy Bridge which is accessible from the park's tourists' center.


Some of wooden planks has already deteriorated, so please be careful


And then we passed by the Heliconia Trail..


A sad looking bananas
We reached at the Vine Garden...not many flowers though...another sad looking garden.






Leaving the Heliconia Trail, we reached the Sun and Palm Garden...the garden is beautiful overlooking the lake and PM's residence.







A nice place to watch the sunset...



Just like any other parks in Putrajaya, the grey colored pathway is for bicycles and prams and the other one is for walkers or joggers.

Going home...another good walk
