History
Colmar Tropicale and surrounding attractions were developed by Berjaya Hills to create a themed highland resort inspired by Alsace, set within Pahang’s older rainforest and hill-farm communities.
Conservation
Stay on marked paths, avoid feeding wildlife and carry out trash; the highland rainforest is sensitive to erosion and visitor pressure, so low-impact practices help preserve trails and streams.
Reserve your spot on the Bukit Tinggi French Village Tour today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Layer up for hill weather
Temperatures drop quickly after sunset and early morning fog can make paths damp — bring a lightweight fleece or windbreaker.
Bring local cash
Many small stalls, kimono rentals and the rabbit farm accept cash only; ATMs in Bentong are limited.
Book activity slots ahead
Reserve flying fox, horse ride, or Tatami Spa times early in the day to avoid waits during peak tourist hours.
Protect electronics from humidity
Highland mist and waterfalls can fog up lenses — use a waterproof pouch or quick-dry microfibre cloth.
Light waterproof jacket
Keeps you dry during sudden highland drizzles and blocks wind on exposed viewpoints.
