Fraser's Hill

The most unspoiled of Malaysia's colonial hill stations, Fraser's Hill in Pahang at 1,500 metres preserves Edwardian bungalows, a nine-hole golf course, and a birding culture of international renown in an atmosphere of deliberate, charming anachronism. Its annual International Bird Race in May draws ornithologists from across Asia who compete to spot the highest number of species in 24 hours within the hill's extraordinary montane forest.
