Travel Snapshot – Royal Palace of Kuala Lumpur
Inherited from the tradition of Great Britain as one of the commonwealth country, royal palace of Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur has also wardens riding horse and standing at both sides of the main entrance. Both warden and the horse are specially trained to be ‘frozen’ at their position and would not the disturbed by external threats until the shift time at 12:00 noon. They are icons to the royal palace of Malaysia and also a travel attraction to tourists around the world.
I have captured the warden on the horse and also the other Malay costumed warden at the other side for readers of Travel Feeder. Hope you would enjoy!

Is the Royal Palace open to visitors/tourists? If so, what is the entrance fees? Would u happen to know what’s to see inside?
Or is it like the Istana in Singapore where Singaporeans get free admission only during major holidays.

Yeap. Sorry to say it’s the same with Istana in Singapore or other commonwealth countries as well where royal palace is only open for public during major festive seasons. 🙁
