I rarely would write on a rather old event or occasion. This time I give it exception because I am planning on coming back to this OLD FRASER'S HILL and see what have changed. It is not that I am expecting or wanting any change but you never know.
As usual, old habit hard to die, we start from the map. Fraser's hill is located at the border of Selangor and Pahang. There are two ways you can climb up the hill, either from Kuala Kubu Baru on the Selangor side, or from Raub on the Pahang side.
The name Fraser's hill is originated from a Scottish named Louis James Fraser, who prospected gold in the 1890. Instead of finding gold, he found tin.
With the height of 1300 meter, roughly twice the height of Gunung Mat Cincang in Langkawi, the temperature hovers around 20 C, pleasant enough for the British personnel stationed in Kuala Lumpur to use as a retreat or weekend getaway.
The activities at Fraser's hill includes jungle trekking, bird watching, and golfing. There are 8 trails you can choose from a very modest 15 minute walk to a full-day Pine Trail to Pine Tree Hill. I was with my kid at that time so we chosed the simple Remmant trail.
Jeriau waterfall is located 4km from the Fraser's hill clock tower, so you have to drive to the entrance gate and walk for about ten minutes before reaching the waterfall.
It was a very pleasant and full with activities. For a 2 day 1 night trip Fraser's hill is just right for family weekend activities.
Looking forward to see if everything is still in tact.
