Bukit Tinggi

Post diwali celebration happened to us in Bukit tinggi, the exotic location for the people who wants to write a book.(thats how some of my colleagues described the place) Well, we didn't intend to write a book either as it's a leisure trip. Bukit tinggi is one of the must see places in kuala lumpur as it is just one hour drive from KL and also to take photos which is my HOBBY.

Located 3,500 feet above the sea, the Japanese Village has garden, tea house, spa, botanical garden..the cool breeze, tall trees, colourful landscape..it was really an interesting place for nature lovers to see the nudity of nature!

Botanical garden was with dense trees with narrow lane to walk along the nursery, we were shocked to see professional photographers with their mega zoom cameras patiently waiting for the rare birds in that dense woods, the silence of the nature was disturbed by the surround stereo effects by monkeys, bees, insects...

Flower- a flower is a flower is a flower, without going to the botanical name of it I simply love to take photos because it shows the richness in the colour/clarity/natural/variety/softness





Japanese village in Malaysia,this model japanese village had small hut house where you can see doll like girls wearing kimino, you are not allowed to take photos, you can pay RM50 for wearing it and taking photos, the hut house has stone footpath that will lead you through a beatiful garden to a waterfall, over a bridge spanning a koi pond and up to a Japanese Tea House.




Colmar tropicale has the century old Alsace charm at this French-themed resort, settled at 2,700 feet above sea-level amidst 80 acres of rainforests. This French village has picturesque surroundings with fort like domes, fountains, ponds - with white swan, black swan, golden fish, across the pond the big fort gates will lead to the cobble stone street which has many restaurants, hotels, caricature shops, fountains, pool table, video games.






Rabbit park, deer sanctuary, donkey ride, horse trails, were the next stop which we enjoyed. Rabbit park here you can buy the food for rabbits are you can personally feed them. The rabbits are quite bulky because of this.Donkeys were almost like horse, white colour, brown colour various types of donkeys...we didn't had donkey ride as its not that interesting!

My daughter fed the deer, only now I came to know that deer too likes potato chips!!!

When we reached to the end of that place to spot the horse trail, we lost the interest to ride the horse after seeing the tariff it is RM25/- for 10mts ride, moreover the horse will just walk not, for a slow walk over the horse along the walking jockey it was too childish,much better is our marina beach horse riding, wherever it goes it will come back to the original place with full speed.We pity those visitors on the horse just giggling when we saw them on the top of the horse walking slowly!

One day from 10AM to 6 PM the complete butik tinggi was enjoyed with family and friends.
