RouteXpert Review
We leave Fraser's Hill and drive down the winding 422 and 148 to the 55. At RP3 you will see the Fraser's Hill Landmark on the mountainside, here you can stop briefly for a photo, if you haven't already done so on day 2.We continue on the 55 with its many challenging curves, after about 20 kilometers we turn right and continue on the 218, a relaxed road with beautiful green nature on both sides.
At RP5 you can choose to take the next turn on your right to drive to Tanah Aina Farrah Soraya Resort. It is a good option to stay here overnight to experience the beauty of Malaysia's rainforest. This resort was founded by Puan Sri Shariffa Sabrina Syed Akil who owns several other Tanah Aina resorts in the country. This is one of her first nature retreats in Pahang. Interestingly, all Tanah Aina resorts are named after her children and grandchildren, and each has its own unique feature.
The next stop is planned in Bentong (RP7) a beautiful small town with many restaurants where you can have a good lunch.
After lunch we continue our drive on the 68 which runs parallel to the E8 Motorway and follows the course of the river “Sungai Benus”. Along this route there are a number of small rest areas with beaches, campsites and at RP9 you can relax in the thermal baths at Suria Hot Spring.
We continue the drive to Bukit Tinggi to visit the local resort, but first we stop briefly at the small Bentong waterfall (RP10) for a photo. We drive a short drive on the highway and then be treated to a beautiful road to the fairytale resort of Colmar Tropical Bukit Tinggi Resort (RP13). Definitely worth it for a short or longer visit with an overnight stay.
At RP16 on the other side of the road is the “Happy Bee Farm & Insect World”, for lovers of bees, butterflies etc. you can take the next exit and drive back about 200 meters and take the first left.
The next longer stop is planned in Genting Highlands (RP17), there is a lot to do here, there are several, shops, attractions, restaurants, casinos, amusement parks and so on. The Genting Highlands is the only place where gambling is legal in Malaysia and in recent years this place has become Malaysia's Las Vegas. There are also always performances and concerts. So this is a great place for those who love such entertainment to plan an extra night. More information about this special resort in the mountains can be found on the site (link in the review).
After all this exciting fun we drive back to Kuala Lumpur, just like on day 1 we drive through the Hutlista Recreational Park, where you can enjoy the beautiful nature. There are a number of parking spaces along the route where you can stop to rest, take beautiful pictures, walk or cool yourself down in a river. At RP7 it is definitely worth stopping for the waterfalls Ulu Yam Waterfall and Sungai Tua Waterfall. There are several parking bays, including one specifically for motorcycles.
After this it is an hour's drive to the center of Kuala Lumpur where we return the motorbikes to the rental company after these beautiful 1000 corners and can still enjoy the vibrant capital of Malaysia.
