View of the green valley of Janda Baik from the Saufiville Resort

A valley with views of dramatic jungle-clad peaks, and ravines ranging from 1500 to 4500 feet above sea level, laced with picturesque streams and waterfalls. For a holiday with a difference, try this secluded green enclave. For KL residents the place is easily accessible  via the Karak Highway. Located approximately 30km, or about an hour’s drive from Kuala Lumpur, the place is a popular holiday and recreational destination for city folks. Ensconced between the towering hills of Genting Highlands and the Berjaya Hills Resort, it is no surprise that the place is much cooler at between  23° and 28°Celsius during the day and below 22°Celsius in the evenings.

"Janda Baik" means "the good widow" in Malay. In the old days a path that connected Selangor and Pahang cuts through the village. A warrior, who was returning after fighting in a civil war in Selangor, stopped at the village for a rest and to nurse some wounds he sustained in battle.
Upon seeing this ragtag team in the vicinity, a kindly widow immediately offered help and tended to the warrior's wounds. The man  was thankful and deeply cherished the kindness. As a mark of respect for this kind widow, he would always remind his men to call on the woman whenever they were in the vicinity.
