The road climbs out of the city heat and, within an hour, the air sharpens—cooler, cleaner, a green hush that makes traffic a distant memory. Colmar Tropicale’s faux-brick facades rise like a storybook township on the shoulder of Bukit Tinggi, terraces and courtyards opening onto rainforest-swathed views. Wind tugs at jackets; birds argue in the trees.

History
Colmar Tropicale was developed in the 1990s to create a themed European-style hill town, leveraging the Bentong hills’ cooler climate and rainforest setting to attract visitors from Kuala Lumpur.
Conservation
The resort and parks sit on rainforest-fringed slopes—stay on marked paths, avoid feeding wildlife, and support local operators that follow waste-management practices to reduce visitor impact.
