Malaysia's first hill station. 830meters (2730ft) above sea level. Visitors can ascend to the top by either hiking up or by the funicular railway which has been operational since 1922. Cool, refreshing climate, fantastic view at the summit. From the hilltop you can view the picturesque bungalows, a beautiful flower garden and a bird park. For holiday goers, there are bungalows for rent and a hotel for those who stay more than one day. A tea kiosk located at the hilltop offers snacks and refreshments. Tracking up the hilltop takes 4 hours. The jungle trail begins at the ''moongate'' at Jalan Air Terjun, about 300m from the Botanic Gardens entrance.

How to get there

The most popular way up the hill is via a funicular train, which takes about half an hour. Walking up the hill takes about four hours.

The funicular rail service begins at 6.30am and ends at 9.30pm

Opening Hours

Weekdays 6.30am to 9.30pm
Weekends & Public Holidays 6.30am to 9.30pm
