Hi friends, welcome to this post. Hope you are
doing great.
From hectic workloads, chasing deadlines,
mechanical life style of morning 8:30 am to 8:30 pm work, practical thinking
makes man really busy in his life. This modern life style not only affects the
personality of the person but also affects his/her relationships too. If one
continue life like this then they will lose the essence of it.
I am not telling to stop working.. J but plan
your leisure times (weekends) with small family trips or trips with friends
which makes you more relaxed and it is much better than watching movies,
boozing etc. If you are in Malaysia, then don’t miss the opportunity to roam
around this beautiful country. Malaysia is a place to live life very near to
nature.
Today I am going to tell about a place which
can be visited as a day trip or if you want can also stay there. It’s all about
Fraser’s Hill Station.
Fraser’s Hill is a highland which is located
nearly two hours away from busy Kuala Lumpur in Pahang Hills. It is also known
as Bukit Fraser. This place is popular for its cool climate, nature activities.
History says, British army, Scotsman Fraser who
came to this place in search of Gold mines. Because of him this place got the
name Fraser’s Hill. Whether he found the Gold mine or not I am not sure J but you can see the old colonial charm all
around the hill. Most of the old stone cottages represent colonial style of
living in olden days.
Visitors can visit this place throughout the
year but be prepared for sudden rainfall most of the times. If you wish to stay
there then plan to visit in off peak days so that you can enjoy cheap budgets. 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.
Main attractions in Fraser’s Hill are its
cooling climate, rain forests, Allan’s Water, Jeriau Waterfall, and The Paddock
for horse-riding and abandoned colonial mansions. This place is also famous for
its variety of birdlife.
Allen’s Water:

It is a small lake which was turned into a park
for recreational activities. Surrounding the lake are big trees and shrubs which
provide a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. Birds fluttering among the tree
tops are common sights, with the occasional squirrel or monkey. Small paddle
boats (for two people each) parked along the water's edge can be rented for a
small fee, at MYR6 for 15 minutes. You can then paddle around the lake to enjoy
the scenery.

The waterfall is not impressive and the amount
of water is not large, but the setting is romantic, making a visit worthwhile.
The Paddock:

lots of fun. The rate for horseride is RM8 for adults and RM4 for
children. The rate for archery is RM8 for adulta (10
arrows) and RM5 for blowpipe for children.
Bird Life:
This place is a special attraction for Birdlife.
It is home to 250
species of wild birds. In fact the International Bird Watching Event is held
here. You can go to Jelai
R. esort to watch birds but not necessarily
Children’s Park, Flower Garden near the Clock Tower
