Fraser’s Hill Travel Guide
Fraser’s Hill is a pleasant retreat from the hustle and bustle of Kuala Lumpur. It is a bird watcher’s delight, and there are innumerable walking trails to suit novice or experienced trekkers. Due to its altitude, the temperature is always mild. The evenings can be quite cool, so it’s a good idea to bring along a sweater or light jacket. Cool throughout the year at an average of 18 - 20 degree Celsius, the attraction of Fraser’s Hill as a tourist resort has not diminished through the years. Today, Fraser’s Hill is popular as a site for company retreats and weekends.
The fanatic golfer will find enough here to occupy his days whereas non-golfers can while away their time horseback riding or by simply strolling down the picturesque lanes that weave through the green countryside. The fresh mountain air is cool and invigorating and when dusk falls, the mist that blows in brings back memories of a simple, gentle era.
Situated approximately 104km from Kuala Lumpur, there are two alternative routes from KL. The first is via the KL - Karak Highway, turning off towards Raub and then off again before Raub to arrive at the Gap. The other, is the scenic old road heading north and then branching off at Kuala Kubu Baru (KKB) before proceeding to the Gap.
