Enjoy the varied charms that the different highlands in Pahang have to offer. These highlands, or hill stations, have traditionally been a retreat where one can rejuvenate the tired body and sooth the weary soul. During the days when Malaysia was a colony of the British Empire, such cool retreats were much sought after by the government officers and their families, to escape the burning heat on the lowlands and the stress experienced in the towns. There are many charming bungalow and rest-houses dating back to the colonial era in the highlands. These highlands include Cameron Highlands and Fraser's Hill. Today people still flock to these hill stations to escape for a cool retreat and relaxing holiday amid nature and fresh air.

Better access has made the Cameron Highlands very popular, with its rolling hills, tea plantations, flower nurseries, strawberry and vegetable farms. Fraser's Hill is very popular with those wishing to play golf and bird watch.

Although not actually a high station, the highest peak in Peninsula Malaysia, Gunung Tahan, 2187 meters, is located in Taman Negara, and provides a great challenge to those wishing to climb it.

The recent addition to the list of hill stations is Genting Highlands. It is not only developed as a cool retreat but also as a casino and theme park, and is a host to international entertainment shows. And now Bukit Tinggi has also joined the ranks of popular hill resorts in Pahang.
