Berjaya Hills Day Trip

Hi all, have you thought of having a weekend getaway after a long grueling week?
I have a spontaneous day trip to Berjaya Hills yesterday with my family and I think it is definitely an awesome place to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life.


Berjaya Hills spreads across 16,000 acres of tropical rainforest and is located approximately 10 kilometres off the East West Karak Highway. It takes about an hour drive from Kuala Lumpur. You might wonder what you could see there. Well, the picturesque French-style Colmar Tropicale which is an replica of the original 18th Century Colmar Village in Alsace, France is Bukit Tinggi's main attraction and dominates its landscape.

Okay that's it for Colmar Tropicale. Now how about going to Japanese Village. Yes you heard me... Japanese Village at Berjaya Hills. It would never cross my head before I visited Berjaya Hills since Japan and France has a bit of distance in the real world. But why not? In my opinion, Japanese village is an ideal place to rewind yourself from hectic life. The traditional tea ceremonies conducted and the exotic and opulent spa are just what you need to rejuvenate. However, just to give you a heads up that the spa could be a little pricey.

After finishing visiting the Japanese village, you could head towards the Botanical Gardens which can be found besides the Japanese tea house. This four-acre garden has one kilometre walkway that weaves through towering trees and viewing decks as well as horticultural sights such as pears, apples and 7 species of strawberries.

 That's Berjaya Hills. We had a really good day and it's definitely lovely for a day trip with family and friends. Hope you like this post.
Good day!
