, Kuala Lumpur's picturesque Lake Gardens is a haven of tranquillity and natural splendour. Constructed around a man-made lake this sprawling parkland locally dubbed Taman Tasik Perdana has dominated the landscape of the Malaysian capital since it was first opened to the public in the 1880's. Lined with towering trees, shady spaces, botanical gardens and dainty flower shrubs the Lake Gardens occupies a lush valley that often plays host to musical shows and cultural events.

As a true to life replica of a butterfly's natural habitat the park is lined with 15,000 plant varieties that create the environment of a Malaysian rainforest. A butterfly nursing and breeding area is also available for viewing in this space that is popular among young children. The slope of the Lake Garden valley hosts the famed Deer Park in Kuala Lumpur where guests can see mousedeer roaming freely in tranquil surroundings complete with a stream.

Other highlights include the stunning Orchid Garden which displays an impressive collection of 800 orchid species that belong exclusively to Malaysia. Thousands of international orchid varieties are also showcased here while guests can also purchase orchid plants on weekends.
