Mikebb Says: Most of our group decided to take on the weather and hike a section of Fraser's Hill. The name is correct the road was full of hills, up and down and believe it or not we constantly needed to sip from our water bottle.Light rain was falling, vision was restricted by the mist...
Mikebb Says: Fraser's Hill was established by the British during the Colonial Period as a repite from the sweltering heat of the lowlands. Cool throughout the year with average temperature 21 to 23C it appealed to people with European background.The village was set up in a similar...
Weather Can Be Misty, Wet & Cool
Mikebb Says: Arrived midday and the weather was cool, a nice relief from the heat and humidity of Kuala Lumpur.Whilst having lunch we noticed the weather was changing very quickly. We noticed the cloud mist was creeping over the hilltop and very soon it progressed half way down the hill....

Walking around in the Jungle at Night: Things that go bump in the Night!
bpacker Says: Walking around in the Jungle at night sounds a little crazy but let me calmly assure that 6 full grown adults did it. Yes, we walked around in the pitch farkness in Fraser's hill for a couple of nights just to look for the brown wood owl. And how did we look for it? We gave...
Fraser's Hill, Pahang, Malaysia: Things that go Bump at Night! Moth
bpacker Says: If you have the nerves of steel and balls of courage, then try walking in the dark with a torchlight. You'll see action ala National Geographic unfold before your very eyes at Fraser's HillThis furry moth was fluttering around in the dark when I caught a shot of it, sans...
Askla Says: From January 1 2008, there are no public transports to/from Bukit Fraser. You have to take the comuter train from KL Sentral to Rawang, and change to the train to Kuala Kubu Bahru. There you will have to catch a taxi for the last 30 kms.
bkoon Says: Fraser's Hill is approximately 103km north, or two hours' drive, from Kuala Lumpur. Visitors can take the Rawang exit from the highway and drive further north to Kuala Kubu Bahru (KKB) and up to Fraser's Hill. From KKB, take the road eastwards to Kuala Lipis/Raub. Travel for...
Nature Education Centre: The most useful souvenir in Fraser's Hill
bpacker Says: Honestly, the best souvenir you can get for yourself is a pair of unbleached leech socks from the Town. It cost just RM16. Or should I say priceless since it'll save you from hours of jumping, tears and wails as you try to tear the little bloodsuckers from your toes. True,...
bpacker Says: When you're in a jungle in Malaysia, Singapore or Indonesia, look before you pee! The locals believe that there are forest spirits in stones, lakes and particularly at the foot of big trees. Should you pee on those places, you might inflame the spirits and get possessed....
Danger in either side of the road.
t3lim Says: I took the route from Bentung to Fraser Hill on Saturday afternoon. It was a smooth ride till the last 30km. From there, it was a painstaking slow ride because the road is so narrow, curvy and dangerous. It would take almost an hour to get through the hills for a safe...
bpacker Says: Since it rains at Fraser's Hill (Pahang, Malaysia ) more often than Seattle, you'll probably see icky bloodsuckers on those forest trails. To prepare myself for a nice meeting with them, I prepared some leech ammunition (medicated oil) and did not get a single leech bite. If...
Bring an Umbrella to Fraser's Hill
bpacker Says: As amazing as this sounds, there isn't a single shop that sells an umbrella in Fraser's Hill and it rains here once every 2 days. The only umbrella that I found here were ornamental paper umbrellas used for decoration. Duh. They might as well sell cocktail umbrellas. Make...
bpacker Says: While we were at the Gap Resthouse, the group split to explore the old bungalow while I stayed outside to look around. Good thing I did, I spotted this handsome blue creature perched on a tree, waiting to be photographed. it deserved its whimsical name - Asian Fairy Bluebird...
Burung Hantu Rimba ( Birdy Ghost of the Jungle)
bpacker Says: Now, when my birding friends and I planned for this trip to Frasers' Hill , all we wanted to see were birds. We certainly didn't plan on any encounters with the supernatural kind. Yes, we certainly didn't expect to see a ghost in the forest and was quite delighted with the...
chiabh Says: The Padang Golf Bukit Fraser is the only golf course in Bukit Fraser as the other 18-holes Fraser's Hill Golf Club has been closed for some time now... It is a public course and any golfer can pay and play... The 9-holes course plays to a short par-32 measuring 1,953m from...
