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

Trailing Saujana Hijau

Such a nice weather today...bright blue skies on a sunny day. Sunny...but windy.  We had an early breakfast this morning and by 8:45 we have already on our way for a hiking in a themed garden in P11. Taman Saujana Hijau is located in P11 Putrajaya. It has European, English and Oriental themed garden. It was quite hilly though. As for me who do not exercise regularly, I definitely had a very good work out today. The place is huge, there were two hills, one with English & Oriental plants and the other one is European themed...we just walked and roaming around from point to point. The plants are very well maintained and the garden itself is very clean. It is definitely recommended for joggers and hikers.

The trail starts here

My 3 year-old boy was very excited to see this plant...he called this Panda :)

Bamboo Trees

Nice terrace of flowers on your way to the restroom...aren't they gorgeous?


Some of the plants at the oriental hill...





 There are also some shacks/huts to catch a breath and rest for a while before continuing your walk.


Noticed the dual colored pathway? One is red which is for walkers or joggers and the other one in grey is for those with bicycles or prams.
