   • Walking or hiking up to Maxwell hill Bukit...  

Bukit Larut, formerly known as Maxwell Hill (but still often referred to by its latter name), is a hill resort located 10 km from Taiping, Perak, Malaysia. Founded in 1884, it is the oldest hill resort in Malaysia.

It is approximately 1250 m above sea level. Bukit Larut receives the highest rainfall in Malaysia because it is located in the wettest part of the country.

Maxwell Hill was named after William George Maxwell, who was the British Assistant Resident in Perak. He found this location, with its cool climate and splendid views, at over 1000m above sea level in the hills overlooking the town of Taiping. In 1910, the hill resort was gazetted as a permanent forest reserve.

Not as developed as other hill resorts, Bukit Larut retains a colonial atmosphere with its quaint bungalows and English gardens.

With daily temperatures of 10 to 25 degrees Celsius, Bukit Larut is indeed an ideal destination for those wanting to escape from the heat and humidity of Malaysia’s lowlands. Although it is the smallest hill compared to other hill resorts in the country, it preserves much more of the atmosphere of a colonial hill station and offers a natural peaceful and quiet sanctuary for weary souls. There are no swanky or five-star hotels available; accommodation is modest but nonetheless comfortable and cozy with a number of welcoming bungalows and rest houses, some of which were built almost a century ago.

Access is available only by (government owned) resort authority's transport (private vehicles are not allowed without a permit) although people are free to walk up the hill as many do for exercise (reaching the peak can take up to 3–5 hours). The journey, 13 kilometres from the base to the top of Bukit Larut using Land Rovers take around 30 minutes. Maxwell Hill still retains its colonial origins with its old bungalows and gardens. This hill is ideal for birdwatchers and nature lovers, as the area provides a welcoming environment for the local wildlife.
[23/08, 21:14] Joe: 13 km up. But u walk 3km is good enough.
[23/08, 21:16] Joe: 3km is the watermelon park. Pondok 2km got free tea. 3km also have I think. Normally I stop at pondok 2km coz I will sweat like crazy.
[23/08, 21:18] Joe: Then u better find some one to walk with u all the way

Coz can be dangerous after 3km with landslides and tigers and snakes. Even with roads available.

But haven't heard anyone got attacked.

For now, no jeep tours going up for tourist coz of fixing landslides.

If u go op after 3km is at your own risks.🤭😜

[23/08, 21:19] Joe: Yes. It's oldest forest reserve in the world.
