Imagine a tranquil garden. Flourished with pleasant plants and flowers. The sounds of streaming water behind you. Surrounded with beautiful butterflies welcoming you. Now give me a moment or two and let me take you there...
This trip did caught me off guard. I mean I was surprised to find myself really enjoying it. What not to like? Nowadays we are busy with our own hectic life even when we have a free time we still circle around the hectic life of others. By any chance we need a breather, here is the place almost close to serenity in our own busy city, Kuala Lumpur.
Butterfly Park or Taman Rama Rama Kuala Lumpur is located in Perdana Lake or better known as Taman Tasik Perdana. Enjoy a glimpse of more than 6,000 butterflies of over 120 species at this unique park. The park is an imitation of the butterfly's natural habitat. It includes more than 15,000 plants from 100 species that have been used to recreate a Malaysian rainforest atmosphere. There is a nursery and breeding area for the butterflies. Facilities include an informative insect museum.Visiting hours: from 9am to 5 pm on weekdays.Opens daily from 9am to 6pm. Admission fees:RM4RM5 for adults andRM2half price for children. -> www.visit-to-kl.com
At first I did wonder what does this seasoned building really has to offer me. After paying the RM10 (RM5 each person) entrance fee and push away the long vertical rows of green chains, I gawked at the wideness of the garden. I did not expect it to be that big after seeing the site building. It does resembles an atmosphere of a mini rain forest. There is this green box filled with cocoons right after we walk down the stairs, I guess the breading or nursery area. An interesting sight. The pathways are clean and well kept. And of course you will be amazed by the beautiful plants, flowers and butterflies all around you.

It's definitely a sight for sore eyes. Complimented with sitting areas. A modest pond filled with the huge koi fishes. The ever so hungry turtles in a separate pond. Streaming man-made waterfalls. A view tower. A rabbit cage and a snake aquarium (just one python). I just feel that I can rest there leaving the world behind me. It was more than two hours spend there and before we thought we can leave, we had to exit by the path through the insect museum which was fairly interesting. Not only we are able to see achieves of various insect species, there were live ones too.

Although the initial plan was to tour the whole Perdana Lake but realizing that most of the time we have spent only at the Butterfly Farm, we had to skip the rest for future trips. I think I should get a DSLR. Then come back to take more and better pictures than the ones I took with my current point and shoot camera. Find a time to spend with your love one(s) and for the shutterbugs out there, here is an opportunity to test out your nature capturing mode. Do forward me a link me when you do so I can check it out.

Great Work! This is so beautiful! I love it. Thank you so very much for the gift, my dearest friend.God Bless.
One winter, while visiting the Hortus Botanicus in Amsterdam, I stopped in the shop on the way out of the garden. Suddenly the shop worker gave me a horrified look and carefully removed a black and yellow that had hitchhiked a ride out of it’s habitat. She cupped the butterfly in her hands and ran out the door to return it to the warm greenhouse. Thanks for sharing!!
