Beginning another of our short holidays to Malaysia, we were headed for one of the lesser known Malaysia attractions this time round. Here we would also be able to experience staying in one of the Malaysia resorts located in the area.
We left our home at 0945hrs to pick up our friend and by the time we cleared the customs and immigrations at Tuas on both sides of the 2nd Link, it was already 1100hrs. This week, we were heading towards Fraser’s Hill Silverpark Resort to look out for a venue to hold the awakening enlightenment meditation.
After approximately 3 ½ hrs later, we turned off at the Rawang exit, took a fifteen minute break and topped up petrol at the same time. Although this route was slightly congested, it took us about an hour and a half to get to The Gap, a one-way road, which is approximately 8km from the top of Fraser’s Hill. This scenic, narrow and winding road allows uphill traffic every odd hour, and downhill every even hour, from 0700 hrs to 1900 hrs.
Entrance to The Gap
As we reached The Gap at 1630 hrs, we had a half an hour break before driving up to the top of Fraser’s Hill at 1700 hrs. It took us approximately 20 minutes to reach to the top of the hill. Although there are a few Malaysia resorts on Fraser's Hill, we chose Silverpark Resort as our accommodation. It took us another 10 minutes to reach Silverpark Resort Fraser’s Hill, our destination for the night.

After checking in at the Resort into a 2-bedroom apartment, we took some time to check out the acommodation as well as enjoy the inspirational mountain views.

We ordered the Nasi paprik, spicy chicken with plain rice, the Nasi Daging Merah, which tasted more like pepper beef, as well as the Nasi Goreng Kampung, Kampung style fried rice. They all tasted good and cost us less than RM22 for 3 persons. Very good value for money and great if you are looking for cheap holidays. Malaysia has lots to offer if you know where to look for them.

After dinner, we took a walk at the Clock Tower whilst enjoying the cool and crisp highland air. Next to the Clock Tower is the Fraser's Hill Golf Course. Close by is the police station and the mini mart.

We realized that the Malaysia climate here has been affected greatly by the global warming which has become a real threat to the environment. This wonderful & tranquil Malaysia attraction is no longer as cool as it was 15 years ago and temperature now ranges from 16 degrees to 24 degrees Celcius.
A number of places like The Gap Resthouse, Allan Water, the Fraser’s Hill Golf Country Club, etc are all currently under renovation as it is currently not the peak season.
We had an early night as this is an area where you can just enjoy the peace and tranquility and experience a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city life.
Lovely full moon
It looks like this is a great place for us to hold the awakening enlightenment meditation retreat. Plus the participants will also get to enjoy staying in one of the Malaysia resorts and attractions and experience the hospitality of the Malaysians, although not being able to experience the cooler Malaysia climate.
