 Nestled amidst the tranquility of the world's oldest rainforest is Fraser's Hill. It is reminiscent of the rustic solitude of the English countryside. Located 1,524 meters above sea level in the mountains of Pahang is an enchanting hill resort.
The hill resort is named after an English adventurer, James Louise Fraser, who came to the hills in the 19th century to embark on a lucrative trade in tin ore. In the 20th century, he disappeared and his body is yet to be found.
In 1910, Bishop Ferguson Davie of Singapore came in search of Fraser, but instead he discovered a perfect mountain getaway. Since 1920, Fraser's Hill established itself as a mountain retreat. Today, Fraser's Hill still retains its natural charm.
