We started our visit from Putrajaya. It is a planned Capital city located at 25 Km south of

KL & 20 Km from KL International Airport .Most of the government offices are shifted here
from KL , due to over crowding & congested place. Putrajaya is still nature. Lush greenery,
botanical gardens are spread across the landscape enhanced by large bodies of water and
wetlands. Five confluences meet at the north forming a main waterway which flows across
the city area.
