Just like the Mae Hong Son, this loop is close to 600km long and it covers [Pahang’s](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pahang) state hills including [Cameron Highlands](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron%5FHighlands%5FDistrict), [Fraser’s Hill](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraser%27s%5FHill), [Bukit Tinggi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bukit%5FTinggi,%5FPahang) and [Genting Highlands](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genting%5FHighlands). Table of Contents [Toggle](#) ## The Details [![Thousand Corner Malaysia - Pahang's Hills Loop](https://riderchris.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/thousand-corner-malaysia.jpg)](https://riderchris.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/thousand-corner-malaysia.jpg) It can take 1 day to complete (just like how I did) but this excludes the time for sightseeing and activities along the way, so adding on an extra few days for this trip is recommended. Since this loop is in a circular route, it can be taken clockwise or anti-clockwise, your starting point does not matter and for me, I started off from Kuala Lumpur but the choice is yours. See the route options below which you can use to complete the 1000 corner of the Malaysia loop. ## 1000 Corners Suggested Routes **Primary clockwise routes:** Kuala Lumpur – Cameron Highlands _(Via Tapah/Simpang Pulai route)_ – Fraser’s Hill – Bukit Tinggi – Genting Highlands – Kuala Lumpur. **Primary anti-clockwise routes:** Kuala Lumpur – Genting Highlands – Bukit Tinggi – Fraser’s Hill – Cameron Highlands _(Via Tapah/Simpang Pulai route)_ – Kuala Lumpur. **Google Map:** **Alternative routes:** Kuala Lumpur – Bukit Tinggi – Genting Highlands – Fraser’s Hill (via Kuala Kubu Bahru) – Cameron Highlands – Kuala Lumpur. (You can do anti-clockwise too) **Google Map:** [](https://riderchris.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/thousand-corner-malaysia-map.jpg) Generally, the roads are in good condition except for if you using my **primary routes** recommendation, the roads heading to Fraser’s hill from Raub are not quite good as there are many potholes / broken roads which can be dangerous. If you’re not up for the bumpy ride, you can opt for the **alternative routes** that I’ve recommended. Extra caution should be taken at all times especially during the rainy season (September-December) when roads are slippery. You can use Google Maps or maps.me to navigate. I completed this loop within 12 hours (+/-) and honestly, I was really exhausted when I got back home but the experience I had is just priceless and it was worth it! All these places are also great for vacation and the temperature at the hills is cold. If you have no idea, you can just use the simple itinerary below to plan your trip and mix it up for your convenience. There are plenty of hotels at each destination and you can easily book it via booking.com website etc. ## 1000 Corners Ride plan (Itinerary) **Day 1 – Kuala Lumpur to Cameron Highlands** | Distance is approximately 206 km and journey time approx 3 hours. **Sightseeing:** See the list [here](https://wikitravel.org/en/Cameron%5FHighlands#See). **Day 2 – Cameron Highlands to Fraser’s Hill** | Distance is approximately 184 km and journey time approx 3 hours 30 minutes. **Sightseeing:** See the list [here](https://wikitravel.org/en/Fraser%27s%5FHill#See) **Day 3- Fraser’s Hill to Bukit Tinggi and to Genting Highlands** | Distance is approximately 130KM and journey time approx 3 hours. **Sightseeing:** [Bukit Tinggi](https://wikitravel.org/en/Bukit%5FTinggi#See) &[ Genting Highlands. ](https://wikitravel.org/en/Genting%5FHighlands) **Day 4- Genting Highlands to Kuala Lumpur** | Distance is approximately 58KM and journey time approx 1 hour. ## Video Highlights ## Photo Gallery [](https://riderchris.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/thousand-corner-malaysia-tapah-exit.jpg) 0630 I reached at the Tapah’s exit (PLUS Highway) [](https://riderchris.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/thousand-corner-malaysia-I-love-cameron-highlands-sign.jpg) I Love Cameron Highlands Sign [](https://riderchris.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/thousand-corner-malaysia-bharat-tea-plantation.jpg) Bharat Tea Plantation in Cameron Highlands [](https://riderchris.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/thousand-corner-malaysia-cameron-highlands-tea-valley.jpg) Bharat Tea Valley at Cameron Highlands [](https://riderchris.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/thousand-corner-malaysia-sungai-koyan.jpg) Sungai Koyan [](https://riderchris.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/thousand-corner-malaysia-sungai-koyan-mountain.jpg) Mountainous view along Sungai Koyan Route [](https://riderchris.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/thousand-corner-malaysia-land-slide.jpg) Land slide and I waited for 1 hour for this road to clear up [](https://riderchris.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/thousand-corner-malaysia-sharp-turn.jpg) Sharp turn on the way to Fraser’s Hill [](https://riderchris.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/thousand-corner-malaysia-fraser-hill-sign.jpg) Fraser’s Hill Signboard [](https://riderchris.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/thousand-corner-malaysia-fraser-hill-clock-tower-view.jpg) Fraser’s Hills Clock Tower [](https://riderchris.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/thousand-corner-malaysia-colmar-colmar-tropicale.jpg) Colmar Tropicale at Bukit Tinggi [](https://riderchris.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/thousand-corner-malaysia-genting-highlands.jpg) Arrived in Genting Highlands at 1545 ## Conclusion Hopefully, one day, The Malaysian Public Works Department, abbreviated as JKR will do official counting of the corners and also promote it for tourism.
