Melaka Botanical Garden

Melaka


A good place for an easy ramble, this lush green enclave is part jungle and part landscaped park with paved trails along which you can walk, cycle or ride an electric buggy – both the buggies and bikes can be rented at the entrance. The garden is also the base for the fun zip-line and tree-climbing adventure course, Skytrex Melaka.
