Get ready to immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of nature at Paya Indah Wetlands! This wetlands, situated in Dengkil, just a short 20-minute drive from Putrajaya, is a sight to behold.
Initially, a mining land, the government spent millions rehabilitating this area, and the results speak for themselves. The 3,100 hectares of land consists of lakes, marshes, and lowland tropical forests and is home to an array of flora and fauna.
With 142 aquatic plants and animals, 40 types of fish, 210 species of birds, 23 types of mammals, and 220 types of terrestrial plants and herbs, there’s no shortage of fascinating creatures to observe and learn about.
The wetlands are divided into three zones: the Recreation Zone, Education Zone, and Conservation & Research Zone. Although walk-in visitors are only allowed in the Recreation Zone, you can still have plenty of fun here! Activities include bird watching, cycling, photography, jungle trails, and observing the hippos and crocodiles in their natural habitat.
