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 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.
