Cameron Highlands Favorites

1 more image

Favorite thing: Previously there is only one way to Cameron Highland and that's via Tapah through the narrow and winding road, but since 3 years ago there is another road via Simpang Pulai to Cameron Highlands in which you will see Kampong Raja first instead of Ringlet. This is also the road to link Perak and Gua Musang in Kelantan…Another link that connects the West Coast to the East Coast Of Peninsula Malaysia. But if you come from the south (eg. Johore or Singapore) and don't mind adding the extra mileage to your vehicle perhaps you can try the new route which is much wider and safer. We normally took the Simpang Pulai route on our journey home from Penang to Singapore if we want to stop over at Cameron highlands for a few days.

Fondest memory: The Nice Weather And The beautiful Panoramic View Of The Mountains: Banjaran Titiwangsa or The Titiwangsa Range !!!

Favorite thing: Long time ago you can find the indigenous aboriginal people called 'Orang Asli' roam around at certain places like Brincang or Tanah Rata selling honey and herbs but now they just set up the stall at the roadside or nearby their own home. If you are the orchid enthusiastic…You might find some rare orchid species at their stall if you are in luck!

Fondest memory: The Nice Weather, The Flowers And Of Course The Beautiful Sceneries!!!

Favorite thing: Cameron is famous for tea plantation and Boh estate is a must to visit. It is approximately 5km from Ringlet and do be careful when you drive in as the road is quite narrow. Make sure you horn at every turning as there may be cars coming from the other direction. When you reach there you can see the tea process or enjoy the view of rows and rows of tea bushes on mountain slope and have cup of tea and do try the nasi lemak there.

Fondest memory: Great view. Good for relaxing when not much of tourist.

Favorite thing: This red telephone booth is standing strong & decorating the street beautifully in front of Ye Old Smoke House, Cameron Highlands.

Btw, the bike is not a decoration. Just happen that I parked it there.


I did few bike tours and sometime Mark will ask me to ride along just to while away the weekend. If I happen to have my dad’s cruiser with me, I will surely pack my day change and off we go.

Favorite thing: CH is a must destinaiton to who is a naturalist and travel to Malyasia.

Things to do are:
Join a trip to Butterfly park, Tea garden/factory, Strawberry park, Bees Park, Insects park...
Just plain walking/jogging there... there have a lot of beautiful floras

Accomondation : acceptable, reasonable
details can search in http://www.hotels.org.my/

The only "bad things" is no night life... most the shops are closed after 11pm. and there are no much cafe, restaurant and even the MAMAK stall especially after 11pm,
To there is not a difficulty for those who are interested.
Just take a bus from PUDU bus station in KUALA LUMPUR heading to TANAH RATA. It take abou 2 hours

Favorite thing: They are not plantation workers, but having great fun playing with the basket & trimmer.

The trimmer/cutter is actually a modified version of gardening cutter with extended plastic catchments on top. The plastic extension is actually recycled from pesticide containers.

Favorite thing: Daffodils in Cameron Highland.
Few drives from Brinchang town, more farms can be found along the road. Plenty of stalls selling strawberries (but sour one).
Then we passed one of the hills which contained wild daffodils, im so excited and straight away jump in to the wild bush with the feeling like the children of the Sound of Music.

Favorite thing: Not the hotel. But Pansy which normally grows in Europe, somehow the climate in Cameron Highlands allows the pansy to survive maybe not for long especially hot dry weather.

Merlin Inn, building at the background, i've been there inside but it look dirty and not attractive at all to stay. Front yard of the hotel is the hotels golf course facilities.
