Taman Rimba Komanwel

Another bath-shower area in the Selangor.

Launched in conjunction with the 14th Commonwealth Forestry Conference in 1993. These parks attract the originality of the forest trees and the beauty of the landscape. Besides, there are also areas for camping, monumental fountains, jogging tracks and other activities that provide opportunities for the public and visitors to enjoy nature.
  
Still water is not contaminated.

  • For enquiry and rates for these activities you can contact Eiqa on 017-3280115 or email administrator@cfpresort.com.
  • They used to have horse riding but I did not see any horses during my visit. Perhaps the horses have been replaced by the ATVs!
  • Some of the jungle trails of the original park are now defunct. I saw the decaying entrance to the Canopy Walkway for example but this is now overgrown and out-of-bounds.
Facilities

There is a cafeteria, Bamboo Café, which is said to serve Malaysian cuisine but was closed on the Saturday afternoon of my recent visit (Jan 2013). I imagine they open it when they have a large group staying.

There is an all-purpose hall suitable for seminars, classes, etc..


A comfortable rest house.

Camp sites available.

Area for large group activities available.
 
How to Get Here?
Own vehicles, or public transportation such as buses and taxis.
