Maxwell Hill

Maxwell Hill (Bukit Larut) is Malaysia's oldest and smallest hill resort. With an height of 1035m, experience the breathtaking view of the greenery below. Temperatures hovers around 15°C - 25°C, with nights sometimes dipping to 10°C. Besides cool air, low misty clouds and the sounds of the forest, together with a cascading waterfall at its foot certainly add to its appeal.

Maxwell Hill is named after George Maxwell, a British resident of Perak who sought a hill station to escape from the heat of the lowlands, a hundred years ago.

GETTING THERE:

On the North-South Highway, take the Taiping exit out of the highway. Follow the signs to Taiping after the toll and from Taiping town head towards the lake gardens. There are signs showing the way to Bukit Larut ( Maxwell Hill)

Base Station : Reaching the top of the hill requires a four-wheel drive jeep. Since private vehicles are not allowed entry, the resort authority caters to this service. The main office is also situated at the bottom of the hill where you can make bookings for your rides up and down the hill or to stay overnight. Beginning from 7am each day, you can get Land Rover services at the foot of the hill. The service runs once every hour and ends at 6pm.

What to See and Do

Visitors to Maxwell Hill are mainly nature lovers, bird watchers, day trippers and tourists who seek for a cooling climate and relaxing gateway. By just stroling or unwinding in the nature's splendour is a beautiful experience.

Birdwatchers can follow the Gunung Hijau Trail which spirals up towards the summit of Gunung Hijau (1449m) to enjoy the plentiful bird life.
