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 the
Telekoms loop. Meanwhile, the base of the Gap road is about 800 meters
in height. This nature resort destination is one of several highland
tourist resorts located along the vast Titiwangsa Mountain range, which
is covered with lush rainforests and green valleys. The entirety of
Fraser's Hill is a protected nature reserve and gazetted wildlife
sanctuary.
isitors and tourists can visit Fraser's Hill throughout the year, but
expect heavy mist and ocassional rainfall most times. Being high up
in the mountains, moisture and cool are predominant features of the
climate in these parts. Generally, the months with the least rainfall
fall between April till September, during the 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; with more rain, the
environment becomes cold and misty. Ensure you have sufficent clothing
if you're susceptible to chill. Also, prepare to get wet and muddy if
you plan to junge track.
