Japanese Village at Colmar Tropicale
1. Colmar Tropicale French Village
Colmar Tropicale French Village is a great place to start your journey in Bukit Tinggi. The area will transport you to a quaint little town of Colmar in Alsace, France with rows of colourful shophouses and brick towers. The architecture here was indeed inspired by that of Colmar. You will be awed by the new world of make belief amidst the serenity of the hills. Located 2700 feet above the sea level and surrounded by rainforest, the weather here might be cold and quite windy especially at night. Every corner of this place is Insta-worthy — I bet that everyone will think you’re in Europe if you don’t tell them that this is Malaysia.
2. Japanese Village
Located on top of the hills, the Japanese village is just 5 minutes away from Colmar Tropicale. Once you get off the car, you will be greeted by the stunning and spectacular view of the lush green mountains, the village is set to bring you a piece of Japan without flying there. You can rent and get dressed up in a kimono while exploring the area and taking photos of the gorgeous traditional building. To make your experience full, head to the Japanese Tea House to learn on how to prepare and serve Japanese tea in the traditional way.
3. La Cigogne Restaurant
It’s pretty apparent by now that Bukit Tinggi’s consistent theme is French inspired and with that being said, be sure to check out La Cigogne, which embraces French culinary delights to the fullest extent. Authentic cuisine that can be hard to find anywhere else in Malaysia is right here on the menu of this eatery. Try the chicken breast which is served with peppers, onions and a light coat of gravy or choose from numerous other available specialities. La Cigogne is suitable for couples looking for a French dinner to celebrate an anniversary as well as for Muslim guests since the restaurant is Halal certified.
4. Horse Trail Rides
Bukit Tinggi features an extensive set of trail rides for you to giddy up like a cowboy/cowgirl through a picturesque rainforest setting. The horses available for riding are well-trained and friendly so there’s no need to be gearing up for a rodeo scenario. A wide range of breeds can be found, from the beautiful Palomino to more well-renowned breeds such as the Quarter Horse. Experienced instructors will be with you every step of the way, helping you choose a suitable stallion and taking you through the routes, including to vantage points with fantastic views of the countryside.

Bukit Tinggi Rabbit Farm
Bukit Tinggi’s Rabbit Farm is home to more than 200 bundles of hopping joy, all of which you’ll be able to feed, touch, take photos of and play with. Rabbits aren’t the only tenants of this farm, however; guinea pigs, peacocks, and donkeys are among the many other animals that can be found. Here’s another warning: If you bring your kids to this spot, you may have to pry them away from all the furry little fluff-balls once it’s time to go home. And if your kids are the kind that get a little intimidated by animals, drawing and painting classes are also available.
Duration: 30 minutes
