Cameron Highlands Destination Guide
Overview
There are many things to see and do
in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia's largest highland resort.
Walks through lovely little villages, visits to the butterfly,
strawberry, honey bee farms and sprawling tea plantations
or meals at the delightful Tudor-styled country inns, are
all pleasurable and relaxing activities to be experienced
here. You can't beat the weather up here. A few days out
of the sweltering lowland heat will surely recharge your
batteries.
One other popular activity in Cameron Highlands, actually
more of a tradition, is to have tea and scones. This very
English tradition dates back to the days when English colonial
officers used this hilly location as a cool getaway from
the heat of the lowlands. Bird-watching and trekking are
also popular activities here.
Situated 1,500 metres above sea level, Cameron Highlands
comprises a series of little townships that include Ringlet,
Tanah Rata, Brinchang, Tringkap, Kuala Terla and Kampung
Raja. What's more, it's easy to get to. Cameron Highlands
lies less than an hour off the main North-South Highway,
and is a pleasant, easy 3.5-hour drive from Kuala Lumpur.
Key Tips
When trekking, please check with your host if the weather
is suitable for the trail you want to take. Also, do let
your host know when you plan to be back and what trail you
are taking.
How to get there
By Road
Cameron Highlands is accessible via Tapah or the new highway
at Simpang Pulai. If you are driving up from Kuala Lumpur,
the Simpang Pulai exit takes an additional 45 minutes to
reach the north of Tapah using the North-South Expressway.
The ascent along this route is much smoother and less precarious
than the route from Tapah.
By Bus or Taxi
Bus and Taxi services are available from the Puduraya Terminal
in Kuala Lumpur and the journey will take you to Tanah Rata.
Alternatively, take a train to Tapah and then continue your
journey in a taxi or a bus.
