- Trivia
- the original hill station was named after William George Maxwell, Perak's British assistant resident at the time of founding.
At a height of 1,250 meters above sea level, the resort receives the highest volumes of rainfall of anywhere in the country, hence its soggy reputation. Plenty of rain, however, ensures that it's also a green and scenic destination and its views are undoubtedly one of its greatest appeals.
The lush green foliage that carpets the hill is punctuated by the vibrant colors of a rich selection of flowers including roses, dahlias, daisies, marigolds, pansies, petunias and lupines.
