Bukit Tinggi Trip: French Village Getaway

Vacation.... Yay ^_^

This is our first trip together and also my first time visiting Bukit Tinggi. Why do we pick this place? We wanted to find somewhere locally and at the same time able to getaway from the hectic work. We've been to Cameron many times before and Genting is under renovation outdoor, so I guess there'll be a lot of dust and only indoor activities to "lepak" on. So we decided to checkout this place. It was in May where we have a public holiday for Labour Day and we decided to go on that time. We spent a 2D1N in Colmar Tropicale resort and on our way back, we drop by IKEA in Kuala Lumpur for some light/window shopping before heading back to Penang.


Bukit Tinggi (French Village)

Bukit Tinggi is located in Pahang, just 48km away from Kuala Lumpur via the Karak Highways. It is well known for its French-styled Colmar Tropicale and Zen inspires Japanese Garden. The Colmar Tropicale retains the European-style architecture, decorated with cobblestone courtyard and streams of cafes and restaurants around the square, entertained by street performances and live bands, bringing you to a whole new European experience.

How To Get There

As we are driving down from Penang, we use Lebuhraya Utara-Selatan and it took us about 5-6 hours (including traffic jam during the journey). If you are driving from Kuala Lumpur, it is easily accessbile from Karak Highway via a 45 minutes drive by car and from Singapore takes 6 hours.
Shuttle service is also available if you don't plan to drive up by car. Below are the schedules and fares inclusive of entrance ticket fee. Click to view for larger image.
