Have Perut Will Travel...: Walkabout │ MASJID INDIA to DATARAN MERDEKA

Getting Back Into the Rhythm

It had been more than a year since we last went on a proper walkabout. Before “the situation,” we used to average 5 km a day, walking to Lake Gardens and back as part of our daily routine. Those were simpler times — and we’ve missed them dearly.

So today felt special. It was time to stretch our legs again.

The Route We Almost Forgot

Starting out from home, we walked the entire length of the route to Dataran Merdeka and back. We honestly didn’t realise how scenic the journey was. Perhaps we had forgotten, or perhaps we had never paid enough attention before.

This time, with fresh eyes and a slower pace, we managed to capture most of the sights in and around the places we passed — the old buildings, the quiet corners, the city’s little details that only reveal themselves when you’re on foot.

Rediscovering the City

What began as a simple walk turned into a rediscovery of Kuala Lumpur. After more than a year of limited movement, the familiar streets felt new again. And it reminded us why we love going on walkabouts in the first place.

Sometimes, all you need is a long walk to remember where you are — and how far you’ve come.
