Weekend short trip #1: Colmar Tropicale, Bukit Tinggi, Pahang

Hello my dear readers!

Been like 2 weeks since my last update and I am honestly quite busy these days with a video shoot for Chinese New Year and some reports to finish. Anyway, just like to write about my trip last Saturday to Bukit Tinggi. It was a one day trip just to escape the city that took us about 1.5hr to reach becaused we stopped over for breakfast at McD

Google map directions...

Entrance to Colmar Tropicale Resort that is modeled after the town of Colmar in France

The dainty town of Colmar, France. Makes you want to visit the place! 

It's quite easy to get there with Waze and we had to pay RM13 for the entrance fee per person. Once you reach the hilly roads, the air gets cooler and it's time to wind down those windows :)

Parking is free and there are plenty at the Chateau Spa and Organic Wellness Resort so no need too worry! They also have shuttle service that takes tourist around the surrounding area - Japanese Garden, Rabbit Farm, Horseback riding, Flying fox.

Since I was only there to enjoy the scenery, we didn't go for the other activities but enjoyed a free show at a small stage where there was kungfu performance and a simple magic show. The rest of the time was dedicated to picture taking because the architecture provides a really nice background!

After taking lots of pictures, we decided to have our lunch at the nearby town of Bentong. Actually I even brought spare clothing because we were planning to visit Chamang Falls at Bentong after lunch but it is closed (until 1 February). All in all, I think it is worth a visit but be reminded that food and drinks can be pretty pricey up there (RM8 for a can of coke). So go take away some chicken and have picnic with family instead!

Cost of the trip:
Toll : RM20.50
Lunch: RM17 for 2
Entrance Fee: RM13 each
Petrol: RM20
