Frasers' Hill Info
After a one and a
half hours drive north-east of Kl you will reach Frasers' Hill. Enroute we will
stop by the township of Kuala Kubu Baru(KKB) for refreshments and then continue
our journey.
From the GAP the
narrow road leads up 9km to the top.(drivers note that the one-way system
that use to operate by time is now defunct). Coming down will be on
the new road which is near our resort.
Frasers' is
located on the Main Range at a height of 4000ft(1500m). A much cooler climate
for walking about, breathing fresh air and chilling out. If we are lucky you
can spot more than 250 species of birds, Dusky-leaf monkeys, Siamang(Largest
Black gibbon in Malaysia), squirrels and a wild boar or two (or see their
diggings of earth in the ground). Plants are plentiful with bright flowers
blooming.
For food outlets
there is the FOOD Court (local food) near the playground and a few restaurants
near Puncak Inn. The more pricey places to eat of course is the Smokehouse.
There are a couple of Sundry shops.
Other activities
availble-boating on Alans' water, Horse-riding,archery,Golf. This will be on
your own during Free and easy.
