A hill station is a term commonly used for a town usually at somewhat higher elevations. The term has been used particularly throughout colonial Asia where towns have been founded by European colonial rulers as a refuge from the heat.

Malaysia has quite a few popular hill stations which offer a cool refreshing getaway from the hot and humid city. Some of the well known retreats are Cameron Highlands, Genting Highlands, and Penang Hill.

These escapes offer activities such as hikes through tea plantations or mountain trails. Or in Genting Highland’s case you’ll find a casino holiday complete with a wild adventure theme park.

As long as you’re looking for a bit of fresh air a hill station retreat is the one for you.
