Bukit Tinggi
BOOK ACCOMMODATION NOW!
Bukit Tinggi is just over an hour's drive from Kuala Lumpur City
centre and lies some 2,500 feet above sea level.
Colmar Tropicale, located in Bukit Tinggi, Pahang, is a replica
of a collection of buildings from a north-eastern village in France
dating back to the 16th Century. It's just like a picture postcard.
The French themed resort was opened in July 2000. It's surrounded
by lush tropical forest land. Just RM 16 for adults and RM 8 for
children below twelve, you can enjoy the various entertainment at
Colmar Tropicale. A clock tower at the entrance welcomes the visitors.
You need to walk up (and down) curvy concrete staircases to view
the entire development.
 
The theme hotel is made up of eight blocks of architectural wonder,
each with its unique style, from its colourful roof tiles to cobblestone
ground. The hotel has several outlets, where you can dine in the
French way. Central to the village is Colmar Square where the aroma
of the blooms will tantalise your senses. There are fountains and
park benches in the square for relaxation after a hard day's work
browsing in the 17 theme shops, or should one wish to take a breather
from participating in the various activities. The drawbridge reminiscent
of ancient castles, clock tower with an original cuckoo bird clock,
and the viewing tower complements the ambience.
Live bands and snake performances entertain the visitors on a stage.
A clown juggles balls and pins, rides on his cycle, hops around
playing tricks and acting merry. Authentic French food is served
from sidewalk cafes and restaurants. The tables are placed strategically
around the square so you can enjoy a meal or glass of wine whilst
taking in the ambience.
The children can play with the adorable furry beings at The Rabbit
Park and you can discover Japanese authenticity at the Japanese
Village.
The Japanese Village is located at 3,500 feet above sea level.
The first of its kind outside Japan. It encompasses a Japanese Tea
House, Sakura and Ume Tatami Suites, and a Botanical Garden. An
hour long authentic Japanese Tea Ceremony conducted by Kimono clad
ladies can be observed at the Japanese Tea House located within
a Japanese garden with mini waterfalls and a pond of multi-coloured
Koi.
A one kilometre walk path built on four acres of virgin forest
lies the Botanical Garden. Here amidst lush greenery, one can appreciate
the sight of multi coloured and multi shaped floral and fauna, hear
the call of birds and monkeys, insects buzzing and the fragrance
of the growing forest. Signs with names and information snippets
of trees, plants and flowers were put up for visitors.
