A Paradise On Earth for some.




Do you know that Fraser’s Hill is not just a birds’ paradise. It is a paradise in many ways. First there is the wonderful sufficiently cool air which does not cause us to sweat at all although we may ramble throughout the day all over the hill top. However, it is not so cold that you need to wear thick clothing. In fact, during my stay, I wore just a T-shirt and slacks. So, it is so comfortable, not too cold and no sweat to bother with.

Next comes the fauna and flora. When it comes to the fauna, of course we did not have time to look for them. But you would not believe it or am I ignorant enough to be surprised at the sight of a chipmunk with its three dark stripes on its body on top of Fraser’s Hill. Unfortunately, I was not quick enough to photograph it. And there was the stick insect, certainly so slow that this old guy could be fast enough to take a few shots at it. There were squirrels too but that is something most of us would consider too common. Anyway it is definitely too fast to photograph easily. With the dense forests everywhere I believe there must be very much more if I am given the time to slowly explore the place.

Haa! When it is flora that you are interested in, there is so much to offer. There are so many beautiful plants and flowers and some wild orchids too, with at least two of them so miniature that I found them so cute. Let’s have a look at some of the plants and flowers which I have photographed. Some of them are so beautiful there were some people who could not resist taking some home. The following photographs are better than me are telling about the many beauties that abound some of the places up that hill.




















Talking about places, we just had a little time to wander around and one of those places was Alan’s Water where there were pedal-boats for people to exercise their legs as they went around a scenic lake. Then, there’s the waterfall where the sound of tumbling waters was so relaxing to our souls. Let's have a look.








There are other places that ought to be visited, something I look forward to on my next trip there. Well, see you there then.
