It was a gloomy Sunday afternoon as we leisurely made our way up to Bukit Tinggi Resort in Pahang. It’s roughly about 45 minutes drive via the Karak Highway and finally up a rather winding road up to the Resort.
The weather were holding on quite well as I was expecting it to rain any time. But nevertheless, it didn’t and occasionally we still catch some sunlight.
Our 1st stop was at the Japanese and Botanical Gardens, where we had to make a 300m hike up a steep path. After making up to Mount Kinabalu, this is what you could say ‘kacang putih’ or maybe not….
The Japanese Garden was as expected, lots of greens and several Japanese huts, garden decors and pebbles pathway aligned all the way through the garden.
Next stop, the Botanical Garden, it’s really a well-planned landscaping with an open air ‘Green House’ where you will find many different species of flowering plants. It’s a rather vast garden as you ventures deeper into the large landscapes. The pathway reveals an abundance of trees, plants and exotic flowers that grace the pathway all along the garden.
The last stop is the French-themed village, Colmar Tropicale with its French architecture that does not impress me much. As it finally rained, we find ourselves scouring for shelter and found a quaint little bakery for some coffee and cakes.
What I find interesting about this place is definitely, the cool weather that was such a relief from the hot and humid in KL City.
The trip turned out to be pleasant enough as were the photography experience. It’s a recommended place for leisure photography session with not too much expectation unless it’s well-planned out. You will find many interesting locations that suits your photography needs.
