Bukit Tinggi (French Village)


Nature, Silence, Beauty!

Colmar Tropicale Berjaya Resort commonly know as Bukit Tinggi is a very beautiful place to spend time specially at nights when its really quite and peaceful there. its just 60KM far from Kuala Lumpur. Doesn't take more than an hour to reach there. The place is actually built according the theme of French civilization and art of construction. it has a number of good coffee shops and some restaurants to have good deals. This place gives a feeling of French village and has been one of the most attractive tourist location for those who visit Malaysia for fun. They also provide facilities to conduct conferences and meetings. Its usually cold there and some times raining. from the top of this hill you can loo at the area surrounding. 


I have been to Bukit Tinggi for few times as i love to see nature and greenery with no voice interference.

It was organized by Mr Jaheen and Mr Jerry L. Sports is almost out from the daily routine. There is no time to go for any kind of sports or exercise. the only way is to call the whole office and go for a badminton tournament. This worked out very well. Mr Chong, Manager Marketing can literally fly with the shuttle and hits it hard which nobody can see. Jaheen also a good player. My game is not that good but better than many others. I managed to play in Finals but lost.
