Fraser's Hill
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 place 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 Fraser's Hill Golf
Club or go fishing (only for
catch and release) and boating
at Allans' Water, stroll along
the many beautiful flower
gardens and parks or have an
splash in the icy cold Jeriau
Waterfalls.
