Fraser's
Hill, 104 km from Kuala Lumpur, can be reached from this capital
city either via the Karak Highway turning off towards Bentong/Raub;
turning left to Gap before Raub for an exhilarating drive through
the narrow and steeply winding road.
Alternatively,
one can also take the Northern route (towards Penang) and cutting
off at Kuala Kubu Baru for a drive to Gap. At Gap, there is a
control gate for one-way traffic to the hill which is open from
6.30 am to 7.00 pm, with up hill traffic reserved for odd hours
and down-hill traffic at even hours.
Fraser's
Hill provides visitors with the cool mountain air, the abundance
of luxuriant vegetation, the peace and tranquillity combined with
other attractions such as its stable of ponies, the nursery containing
many exotic flowers and a very pleasant 9-hole golf course.
For accommodation, Fraser's Hill has a range of hotels, chalets
and colonial-bungalows to suit one's preference and budget.
