Biker's Heaven

Today I found the true biker's Paradize! It's called Fraser's Hill. Fraser's Hill is a mountain resort named after a british fortune hunter who started a tin mine over there about two centuries ago. It's a small cozy and so british styled town lost in the middle of nowhere in the jungle, about 100 km North of KL.






Marie and I wanted to escape KL's heavy heat and chill out for one day in this resort. We took my bike to get there. And this ride happened to be the perfect ride! Especially the second half of the trip. Imagine a small road (actually more a slope), cutting through a quiet and dense jungle, climbing across a steep mountain. Imagine a desert one way road, just for you, laid in a perfect environment and which discloses a breathtaking lansdscape after each curve... Imagine a road in very good condition and plenty of curves! I really had a good time riding up there!

For those KL-based readers who ever plan on going over there, here is a good trick: about half-way to Fraser's Hill, a few kilometers after Kuala Kubu Baharu on road 55, on the left handside and after a bridge there is a freshwater river and cascade with a lake at the bottom. There are big rocks and tiny sand beaches around it. It's surrounded by jungle. Many locals were having a barbecue and swimming in the lake. This is a perfect secret place for a break, and sandwitch and a short swim on the way to Fraser's hill. It can even be the destination by itself! Always good to leave noisy KL for a week-end and end up in such perfect location for nature-lovers. Plus it's just about one hour away from KL.
