Highland ride

The idea for this ride started when we are having discussion in the office about 2014 F1 at Sepang with our Australian director. So my colleague and I decided to rent out a bike and go on a tour around these route:

Day 1:
Bukit Beruntung - Fraser Hill - Raub - Tanah Rata


Day 2:
Tanah Rata - Lojing - Gua Musang - Kuala Lipis - Bentong - Janda Baik - Genting Highland


Welly Top Klang (Ben) rent out their ER6 and Versys at RM250 per day with RM1000 deposit.
We booked a date with Ben and rented an ER6f and one Versys for 2 days.


The roads are beautiful and despite being on a Saturday, there is no much traffic heading our way.


Mist & fogs surrounding our journey in Fraser Hill. My colleague Yusuf is on rental versys.














State border in Fraser Hill



Road from Sungai Koyan to Ringlet. Can you spot Bro Yusuf on the bridge?

Yeay! Made it to Tanah rata in one piece! Not bad for a newbie














special parking in our hotel



This is our hotel room view, Brinchang at dawn


2nd day starts with a journey to Mt Brinchang tea valley


Lojing to Gua Musang route is also scenic and beautiful













Roads signs are clear and I do not think that anyone need a gps navigating these routes




Going back from Kuala Lipis to Bentong was a breeze plus both of us are a bit tired and did not stop much for picture session.
