Fraser's Hill, a famous hill
resort which is
located about 100 km from
Kuala Lumpur, can be reached through the Karak Highway.
First, turn left at the Bentong junction and then proceed to Teranum.
At Teranum, take the left turn towards Gap before the
short ascent up to Fraser's Hill. Alternatively, one can
also take the old trunk route heading towards Penang and
turn off at Kuala Kubu Bharu for the drive to the Gap.
The last 8 km from the Gap to the top of Fraser's Hill
is along scenic, narrow winding road which carries
one-way traffic from 7.00 a.m. to 7.00 p.m. At the
Gap, there is a gate control system with scheduled times
for ascending and descending traffic, at both ends to
facilitate the flow of traffic making driving both easy
and safe.
Fraser's Hill, 1,524 m above
sea level, offers
visitors cool mountain air, an abundance of luxuriant
vegetation, peace and tranquility as well as other
attractions such as pony rides, a nursery containing
many exotic flowers, the Jeriau waterfalls and a
pleasant 9-hole golf course.
Other facilities in this
quiet hideaway include a
children's playground and a roller skating rink. For
accommodation, Fraser's Hill had a range of hotels,
chalets and colonial-bungalows to suit one's preferences
and budget and it is also known as a bird-watchers
paradise.
