Getting there
About 2 hours' drive from KL via Kuala Kubu Bharu. The final road up is narrow and winding.

A quiet colonial hill station with Tudor-style bungalows, a clock tower and cool forest trails. There isn't much to do, and that's the point.

Makan

  1. Ye Olde SmokehouseEnglish breakfast and afternoon tea in a Tudor-style inn.
  2. Hawker foodSimple Malaysian dishes at the food court near the clock tower.

Things to do

  1. BirdwatchingHundreds of species have been recorded here. Go at dawn.
  2. Jungle trailsShort, well-marked trails like Bishop's Trail and Hemmant Trail.
  3. Jeriau WaterfallA short drive and walk from the town centre.
  4. Allan's WaterA small lake with paddle boats.
  5. The clock towerThe stone landmark at the centre of everything.

Where to stay

Book ahead for the old bungalows and inns; there aren't many places to stay on the hill.

Good to know

  • There's little nightlife and few shops. Bring snacks.
  • Mist rolls in fast, so drive slowly on the way up.

Last checked October 2026. Things change, so check opening times, fees and transport before you go.
