Canopy walk

Situated 2600 feet (approximately 790m) above sea level, there is a French-themed village called Colmar Tropicale in Bukit Tinggi, Pahang, Malaysia. The inspiration came from the original town of Colmar in Alsace, France. Bukit Tinggi is about 45 minutes drive from Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. If you plan to drive, you need to watch out the slopes as they are really steep. If you need to take the beautiful East-West Karak Highway, drive through the Genting-Sempah tunnel and you will then reach the Genting Highlands exit. Drive on until you could see Exit 805, which is the Bukit Tinggi exit. Take that exit and you will need to drive for another 10km to reach Bukit Tinggi.

Upon entering Colmar Tropicale, you'll need to pay RM12 for the entrance fee for an dult and RM8 for a child. Nevertheless, it is refundable the moment you are checking in to their hotel.

Colmar Tropicale offers many activities. You can just have a walk at the Botanical Garden and enjoy a cup of Japanese green tea at the Japanese Village or challenge yourself for a thrilling recreational activities such as mountain biking or rock climbing.
