Went on another Sunday morning drive, this time from Ulu Yam to Frasers Hill via Kuala Kubu Bharu.
As usual, we rolled at 7am from the Petronas station at Bandar Baru Selayang Fasa 2A and traverse the Ulu Yam- Batangkali route which is very popular with local driving enthusiasts, although usually once they reach Batangkali they would turn eastwards to Genting Highlands.
Our route this morning is different as we continued Northwards towards Kuala Kubu Bharu (KKB). Not far after KKB we reached the Sungai Selangor dam at around 8am, where we made a stop at a look out point to catch the sunrise.
Of course there is the mandatory group car photo.
After lingering at the look out point for a bit, we continued with the 2nd leg of the journey towards Frasers hill, where the roads starts from being a a wide 2-lane per direction with long sweeping corners....
Into single-lane per direction trunk roads that gradually became more twisty and narrow....
When finally at the very last 8km of the route, it becomes a single lane, single direction route....
The more challenging sections of the route are very similar to the old Gombak-Sempah route in terms of technical difficulty, but the road surface was much better than the Gombak-Sempah route.
Finally, at the end of the route, Frasers Hill, seen below with it's iconic clock tower that greets every visitor at the entrance of the resort.
Frasers Hill is a highland resort known primarily for being surrounded by the thick rainforest and the cool weather.
Fraser's Hill derives its name from Louis James Fraser, a solitary Scottish pioneer, who set up a tin-ore trading post in the 1890s.The British army had not explored the Titiwangsa Range, so Fraser recruited guides and coolies for an expedition to the upper ridges, prospecting for gold or other valuable metals. At the top he found an ancient forest of moss-draped trees and ferns with a prehistoric appearance, kept constantly moist in the cloud layer.

There isn't much I can elaborate on the resort as I only drove pass it without stopping. I have been here a few years ago and my impression is...there isn't really much to do here except some token activity such as horseback riding, bird-spotting and archery. But if you are a nature-lover or simply seeking a relaxing way to spend a few days, Frasers Hill might just fit your bill.
Looks like a nice car cruise, 15 miles of twisties is good fun.
Great first photo with the lake and fog.
Thanks! It was my first time there so it was kinda blew my mind. Photos don't do it justice at all.
No show badminton play?

Stunning sunrise view through the dam!
I know right.... If you haven't already, you should visit the dam if only just for the sun rise.
There were actually people camping there overnight!
Wow! Seriously?
I've traveled to Fraser's Hill few times but never thought of going there, must try next time!
