Locally known as Bukit Fraser, Fraser’s Hill is a highland resort destination nestled among the mountains of Pahang, located two hours away from Kuala Lumpur.

Fraser's Hill can be found in the central region of Peninsular Malaysia in the state of Pahang. It lies about two hours north of Kuala Lumpur and 400km away from Singapore in the south. Bukit Fraser has an average altitude of 1,200 meters high but its highest point rises at 1,500 meters at Telekoms loop. Generally, the months with least rainfall fall between April and September, a lapse in the monsoon season.



This would be the best time to travel if you dislike wet surroundings, but the weather can still be unpredictable. It is also recommended to go during off peak seasons, which are months that have no major public or school holidays, in order to enjoy cheap accommodation in hotels and smaller crowds. Temperatures usually range between 22 - 28°C during the day and 16°C to 20°C at night.

Fraser's Hill enjoys a well-preserved landscape teeming with lush greenery - with little commercial development, there are few tourist attractions compared with larger highland resort destinations such as Cameron Highlands.

The place is also a treasure trove of nature, with rich repositories of plant life, wide diversity of wildlife, and lush landscapes untouched by modern development. A network of trails, each with different names and length, enable visitors and tourists to explore the highland rainforests that surround the area.



Other than mountain hiking and jungle trekking, bird watching is also a popular activity, especially with those from Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. Each trail is clearly marked and designated with signboards that indicated the level of difficulty along with informative posters. Some of the trails are easy and suitable for children while a few may take an hour or more.
