KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 3 (Bernama) -- Tourists to the Kuala Lumpur Tower will be treated to a thrilling experience -- riding an elephant which will be placed there for them.

Five elephants will be waiting to carry the tourists to make their visit more memorable.

Speaking to reporters after attending a sacrificial function in conjunction with the Aidiladha, organised by the KL Tower here, Wednesday, its Chief Executive, Datuk Zulkifli Mohamad said, the elephant riding would be a new experience for most of the visitors.

The KL Tower, 421 metres high, is the world's fourth tallest communication tower.

He said, tourists could also see some of the oldest floral species in the world in the Bukit Nanas recreational forest.

The KL Tower management expected 1.5 million tourists to visit it this year compared to almost one million last year.

The management is also expecting the ninth million tourist in February or March this year. The visitor will receive a mystery gift which awaits him or her.

The Tower would also host the "World Federation of Great Towers" conference for the first time in September during which plans would be discussed to make the 26 great towers more attractive to tourists, he said.
