Maxwell Hill, now known as
Bukit Larut, is the country's oldest hill resort and is
approximately 1,035 meters above sea level. This pleasant
retreat is accessible only by government land rovers.
Colonial bungalows are available for rent near the
summit and the tranquil atmosphere is definitely a crowd
puller to this famous tourist attraction in Perak.
The cool fresh air, low misty clouds and the
sounds of the natural forest provide an ambience second
to none. The views of the jungle canopy below are
exhilarating to say the least and jungle streams cascade
beside the nature trails and over rock faces. If you are
on a backpacking trip to Malaysia, visit Maxwell
Hill for a day or two to rejuvenate your tired
muscles and stay at any one of the comfortable
but cheap hotels found here. On the way
to Maxwell Hill, you can see the Burmese Pool,
Malaysia's first swimming pool at Jalan Air
Terjun.
