Sitting
pretty amidst the Pahang rainforest is the little hamlet
of Fraser's Hill. At 1,524 metres above sea level, this
highlands resort is a naturalist's paradise that boasts
innumerable plant, bird and animal species. This resort
is popular for those who are interested in nature-based
pursuits such as trekking, bird watching, horse riding,
fishing and camping.
Access to
Fraser's Hill is only possible by road via The Gap at
the base of the resort. Once through The Gap and into
Fraser's Hill, you will feel as though you have gone
back in time. Fraser's Hill is akin to a little Scottish
village with granite coloured mock Tudor buildings
dotting the landscape. The town is relatively small,
with much of the activity centred on a market square
dominated by a little clock tower. Most of the town's
amenities are housed in colonial styled buildings.
Considered one of Malaysia's premier locations for
bird-watching, this hill resort hosts the annual
Fraser's Hill International Bird Race. This
bird-watching competition requires watchers to race
against time in spotting as many bird species as
possible within the resort's routes.
You can
indulge in many relaxing activities at Fraser's Hill.
Play a game of golf at the 9-hole Royal Fraser's Hill
Golf Club or the 18-hole Fraser's Hill Golf & Country
Club, go fishing and boating at Allans' Water, stroll
along the many beautiful flower gardens and parks or
have an splash in the icy cold Jeriau Waterfalls.
