Bukit Tinggi
Bukit Tinggi is located in Pahang, just 48 km away from Kuala Lumpur via the
Karak Highways. It's amongst the newest highland resorts in Malaysia apart from
the well-known Genting Highlands, Cameron Highlands and Fraser's Hill.
The concept of Bukit Tinggi differs from the other highlands in terms of theme,
unlike Genting which is an amusement and casino getaway, Bukit Tinggi focus on
bringing different cultural flavors from abroad into Malaysia.
Although located in the lush green thick forest just like other highlands in
Malaysia, Bukit Tinggi is not build for more nature and agricultural purposes.
Though it shares the same climate as Cameron Highlands, Bukit Tinggi is hardly
famous for tea, vegetables and fruits.
On the contrary, it is well known for its French-styled Colmar Tropicale and Zen
inspires Japanese Garden. The Colmar Tropicale retains the European-style
architecture, decorated with cobblestone courtyard and streams of cafes and
restaurants around the square, entertained by street performances and live
bands, bringing you to a whole new European experience.
On the contrary, some 1000 meters above sea level is the Zen inspired Japanese
Village. The village consists of a Japanese Tea house, Ryo Zan Tei authentic
Japanese Restaurant, botanical garden, spa and Tatami suites. One can experience
the Japanese tea ritual at their teahouse and enjoy the hot bath at the spa for
a relaxing getaway.
Apart from that, golf enthusiast can enjoy the 18-hole golf course at Bukit
Tinggi & Country Club for a challenging golf experience. Horse trail is also
available to enjoy around the scenic surroundings. You can end your visit by
visiting the Rabbit Park where you will be charm by the cuteness of the fluffy
rabbits.
