Fraser's Hill is a hill resort located on the Titiwangsa Ridge in the state of Pahang in Malaysia.Fraser's Hill derives its name from Louis James Fraser, a British colonial adventurer and fortune hunter. Many colorful stories exist about his life, including rumors that he managed an opium and gambling den frequented by miners in the hills of Pahang. However, in the early 1900s, Fraser vanished without a trace. Fraser's disappearance remains a mystery to this day.
