Colmar Tropicale

Recently, my business partner and his parents flew in from Middle East to visit Malaysia. After sending his parents to Langkawi and tour around KL for a week since I have to work, we decided to be good hosts and bring them to the Berjaya Hills on a hot Saturday.

Berjaya Hills have been opened for more than 10 years and every time we plan to there, we always end up in Genting Highland instead which is practically next door. Well you know, same amount of travelling, same effort in climbing up the hill, why not go to the one that has more to offer. But since my guests are from Middle East in their way past middle age, I think they would not appreciate Genting Highland which offers either gambling or theme park experience. So, here we come Berjaya Hills.


The drive from downtown KL to Berjaya Hill took about 45 mins. As we are about the reach the entrance, we realised that we have to pay an entrance fee and it is MYR10 per pax. For what, really I don't know. Anyway, we pay the fee and park our car and with such excitement, make our way to the Colmar Tropicale.



The entrance to Colmar TropicaleYou see, when you're ask to pay for an entrance fee, you expect to have some sort of fun or awe-inspiring experience. But nope, this so-called French Village really is a resort / hotel that is built with French inspired architectural. That's all? Yes, that's all. 



This so called French Village is build with a moat surrounding it. OK, I'll give them 2 points for efforts of putting some swans on the moat.

These are actually real swans and they are about 5 times bigger than normal ducks.

And they have Koi fish as well. Do you have Koi fish in France? Doubt it.


Location : Berjaya Hills, Peninsular Malaysia
