There is already another recent thread with many many suggestions.

December = durian season

 

if keen, just a short drive away. Bentong and Raub are the two main durian centers in that vicinity.

now, this is interesting.

I always thought durian season is in June, the hottest time of the year..

plus I have never visit a durian farm before..

 

Yes, please share more about bentong and raub.

this is the first time I'm staying in that area, hence wanna plan my trip well.

you are being humble.

 

Maybe we could plan a road trip in future, It will be fun

Quite a lot of ideas shared here:

yeah, thanks for directing.

 

however, I guess its not very relevant as my staycation is pretty fixed, I can only travel within bukit tinggi/genting area.

 

My wife's cousin are proposing pangkor but I guess it will be tiring and kinda packed.

After all, its Xmas period.

for Msia, generally 2 seasons a year, mid-year and end-year, but the 3 main areas (Pahang, johor, penang) have some variation, also depending on the weather (temperature, rain)

if durians are in season, u should see a few pop up stores as u travel on Karak highway from Genting Sempah/Bukit Tinggi towards Karak. 

 

Not all orchards/farms accept walk-in visitors, as they sell to distributors/resellers. But it's fun driving around that area.

 

you may also like to chk out the waterfall near Bentong. Nice carpark and a decent-sized area to roam around, but do note the restricted (danger zone) area near the waterfall. Not much F&B options there, from what I recall. Maybe BYO picnic.

thank you for sharing.

 

You have made the trip more interesting.

 

I have actually went to the facebook link and seems they are closed for the year.

I will try to see if my gps read karak highway, its an old garmin gps.

 

My wife told me the place that we will be staying, is like a farm stay.

Her uncle purchased the land and use it as a staycation, some fruits trees etc..

may have durians, provided it's in the season.

 

I suppose the 2 links that you have provided, are referring to the same waterfall?

 

I love waterfall, an art of nature, minus the rubbish that incumbents may have left. 

 

It's gonna be fun.

u r most welcome

 

best to call/WhatsApp the farm a few days in advance before the intended visit.

 

do u have the name of the place u will stay at? open to public?

 

two links - yes, same place. They provide different info for the same place.

 

have a good trip. It's rainy season so the waterfalls should be more lively. I was there in dry season.

So lucky!  Do share when you are back.

thanks for the well wishes, until now, I still don't have a formal address of the exact location.

 

to be frank, I also don't know how to go..

my in law can only tell me blentong if I got it correctly..

going out with them, is a pain at times.

lucky, my wife share the same sentiments with me.. Malaysians unlike Singaporean, they don't go by postal code and older generation, they don't even know the address..

 

I foresee, the worst scenario is that I be heading genting straight, then call my in law to pick us..

I heard that Bukit tinggi is a very nice place for photo taking.

 

Here some of the bloggers' review:

Located approximately 48 km away from Kuala Lumpur, Bukit Tinggi is easily accessible from Karak Highway via a 45 minutes drive by car.
