For nature lovers and hiking enthusiast, FRIM is always one of the favourite spots. Besides the famous broga hill, tabur hill and other mountains in Malaysia, FRIM can be considered as a platform for a beginner in adventurous activities.
We reached this place quite early around 830am but have to wait for about 1 hour to purchase the canopy walkway ticket. Fee as pic below.
And, for an advise, please make sure you did not purchase for more than 10. they wont allow. so, if you come in a group of more than 10, just pretend you dont know each other and purchase the ticket separately. Their main reason, safety issue.
While waiting for the ticket counter to be opened, i snap some pictures around the one-stop office
