Day 3,
Bukit Larut also known as Maxwell Hill in Taiping, is approximately 1250 meter above sea level and is the best cool place to escape the heat. The daily temperature ranges from between 10-26 degree Celsius.
Hang out here before waiting for our Jeep
There are no traffic jam on the way to Bukit Larut because private vehicles are not allowed to drive up. The access road to Bukit Larut is very steep and narrow. You need to take jeep to go up there, and that 10 kilometres journey to the top of Bukit Larut is not easy and it takes about 30 minutes to reach the top with this jeep. Their driver is damn professional , he can drive the narrow road with one hand only.
There is two ways to go up Bukit Larut, you can hiking all the way up (10 kilometer) or take jeep (30 minute ride).As you know i am lazy man, i am willing to pay RM10 per trip for a ride to Bukit Larut. Clever right! If school or public holidays, please come as early as 7am to queue at the counter to buy ticket, if you come late then you are let with another option is hiking all the way up or wait for tomorrow trip.

Finally we are here.
Did you know that Bukit Larut is the oldest hill in Malaysia? Back in the day, British colonial officials come here as resort and relax, because of it cool weather, less air pollution, quiet place, and surround by nature. i am glad that this place still maintain their building, no much development here, really a good place for relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. No much activity can be done here, so 2 hours is more that enough to spend up here.
