Damansara and Hartamas are two middle- to upper-middle-class suburbs which lie to the west of Kuala Lumpur. Although largely residential, both have pockets of good restaurants, watering holes and even some clubs. Desa Hartamas is particularly popular with the expatriate community.

Damansara runs right up to the border between the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor state and virtually merges with the city of Petaling Jaya. And just to create some confusion, many areas in the northern part of Petaling Jaya also deemed to be part of Damansara.

Sri Hartamas and Desa Sri Hartamas

Whilst there is nothing typically tourist to see or do in Sri Hartamas this is a fantastic place to really get a feel for Kuala Lumpur. Desa Sri Hartamas in particular has developed into a fantastic little eating area where you can experiment with a wide variety of international food relatively cheaply. The most appealing aspect of this is that most of the food retains its national identity. Of particular interest is sitting down to a Korean BBQ — order bulgogi or sam giup sul — going for steamboat, or joining in the food court when it starts to become busy after eight in the evening.

There is also a reputable dive shop in Desa Sri Hartamas that has a thriving little dive community behind it and runs regular trips out of Kuala Lumpur to a variety of diving spots.

Take a taxi, about 10Rm from the center of KL and about 10minutes. Ask to be put down at Desa Sri Hartamas. Taxis are easily hailable to return to the city. Within walking distance is Mont Kiara, an area of towering condominiums, that has a few nice bars, reasonable restaurants (that are more expensive than Sri Hartamas) and a growing expat community.

By car

This is probably the easiest way to get into the Damansara or Hartamas region.

From the downtown, head on to Jalan Kuching going northward and then connect to Jalan Duta and then get into Lebuhraya Sprint and follow the Sri Hartamas sign.Alternatively, one might also use Jalan Parlimen and it will eventually lead to Jalan Duta and Lebuhraya Sprint.

By Rail

For Sri Hartamas/Mont Kiara (Kuala Lumpur side) and the nearest rapid railway station is the Segambut KTM Komuter station. From here, one can take the RapidKL bus route 190 (formerly U7) to reach Mont Kiara and Sri Hartamas. The ride between Mont Kiara/Sri Hartamas and Segambut Komuter station could last between 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the traffic condition.

Meanwhile and the closest rapid railway station serving Damansara (Kuala Lumpur side) is the TTDI MRT station at Taman Tun Dr. Ismail.

Alternately, one can take the RapidKL Route 190 (formerly U7) bus straightaway from Kuala Lumpur/Tuanku Abdul Rahman|Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman in downtown Kuala Lumpur and reach Mont Kiara/Sri Hartamas.

What to see in Kuala Lumpur/West

• National Palace - Istana Negara | Apparently and the previous kings (Yang Di-Pertuan Agong) have complained that the present palace at Jalan Istana is small. Needless to say that a larger palace has been built for the ruler. One can get a glance at this gigantic building by going to the main entrance (see geo marker). If the flag is raised up on top of the largest dome of the palace and then the king is inside. Else the king has left the complex. At 11 a.m. each day there is a changing of the guard.

• KL Court Complex - Kompleks Mahkamah | It is said that this Court Complex is the second largest in the world behind the one in India. Although not overly tourist and the arial view of the court resembles a Y-Wing Plane from Star Wars. To get there, Head on to Jalan Khidmat Usaha from Jalan Duta and the court can be seen at your right.

Masjid Wilayah, Kuala Lumpur - Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan (Federal Territory Mosque)

• Federal Territory Mosque - Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan - This large mosque, which was opened in 2000, was partly inspired by the Blue Mosque in Istanbul. The mosque's website currently is in (Malay) only. Statistics on the number of tourist visits are given, so it is clearly feasible to visit the mosque outside of prayer times, but the website doesn't seem to make clear what arrangements would be needed, so it might be a good idea to call, especially if you're a non-Muslim interested in seeing the interior outside of prayer times. If you are a Muslim and would like to pray at the mosque, prayer times are prominently displayed on the website.

Top Muslim Travel Tips for Kuala Lumpur/West

• Hiking or mountainbiking in Bukit Kiara - The most popular spot in the whole city to go mountainbiking or hiking. Unfortunately the forest is constantly reduced in size by greedy building developers.

• Reflexology - Desa Sri Hartamas probably has the largest number of reflexology centres per unit area in KL.

Muslim Friendly Shopping in Kuala Lumpur/West

• Plaza Mont' Kiara Fiesta Nite - A bazaar every Thursday, selling food, clothing, toys, household appliances, etc.

• Publika - One of the newest malls in the Kuala Lumpur area. Great Muslim Friendly place with plenty of hip stores. Plenty of food choices and a great supermarket in the basement.

Halal Food & Restaurants

• Safiz Corner. Most probably the cheapest dining outlet in Desa Sri Hartamas. Safiz Corner serves a variety of mamak dishes with good taste and quality. Satay is also available here.

• Carnaval Churrascaria | Just for hala Meat lovers. The name of this game is meat! Lots of it! Amazing Brazilian hala Meat serviced until you are too full to walk.
