Fraser's Hill Highlands <Previous Page This charming, old-fashioned hill station is built across seven hills, its highest point being 4000ft above sea level. Road access can be difficult as the countryside is wild and less cultivated, but the sedate side of colonial life is more recognisable here with white and grey stone bungalows and roses, rhododendrons, poinsettias, hollyhocks and dahlias growing in the gardens. There are opportunities for horse riding, several nature trails through the nearby forests, and a wealth of wildlife that can be found during pleasant rambles. There are more than 270 species of birds in the immediate area, and the Malaysian Nature Society supports an 'international bird race' every June, where teams compete to identify the largest number of birds. Bird Watching - Fraser's Hill has long been a top birdwatching destination for local and international birdwatchers. The relatively undisturbed jungle-lad mountain terrain and the cool climate attracts over 250 species of birds, some of them migrants from countries as far as Siberia. Around the middle of every year, international as well as local birdwatchers gather at the resort, to participate in the Fraser's Hill International Bird Race, a non-competitive event which requires birdwatchers to race against time to spot as many bird species as possible within the routes in Fraser's Hill. Picnicking - The Jeriau Waterfalls is about 5 km from the town centre. From the road, paved footpaths lead visitors to the waterfall. Public visitors facilities include a picnic area, shower rooms and changing areas. Golfing - A short and tricky 9-holes golf course at Royal Fraser's Hill Golf Club which follows the contours of the narrow valley is open to the public. Its unique feature is the three-tiered 7th fairway which takes the shape of a man's body.
