    Tea plantations and tea tree
  • Tip Rating:
  • A must visit in Cameron Highlands is one of its tea plantations. Tea planting is the main economic activity here with acres upon acres of land dedicated to its cultivation. There are several tea plantations scattered all around Cameron Highlands with Boh Tea Plantations alone has a total 8,000 acres of tea plantations in Sg Palas, Farlie, Bukit Cheeding and Ringlet. Bharat Tea Estate in Riglet also worth a visit for its view.

    Most of the tea trees in the tea plantations here are the same that were planted during the early beginning of tea plantations here since the productive life of tea trees span over almost 100 years. In Cameron Highlands, tea leaves - about the size of an adult palm - are plucked by hand as well as using a specialised scissors-like equipment. Thus, tea trees here are trimmed to the height of 1-1.5m to enable the top layer of the tree to be pruned straight into a sack using the said equipmenet.

    Once collected, the tea leaves are brought to a nearby factory to be processed.

    Furthermore, after years and years of hardship, Ee Feng Gu has now expanded the bee farm to a larger of space.Ee Feng Gu is open daily from 8 am to 7 pm. There is not a single entrance charges, every visit to the bee farm is free of charge.

Therefore, it is very save and encourageable to bring along children so that they can learn more about the nature of vees and honey.

    Gunung Brinchang
  • Tip Rating:
  • The highest sealed road on Peninsular Malaysia leads to the tallest peak in Cameron Highlands, Gunung Brinchang.

    The summit is 2,032 metres high, and on clear days there is a panoramic view over the surrounding forest to the city of Ipoh.

    A Telekom transmitting station resides at the top, and there is a 15 metre high viewing tower for those wishing to get a little extra elevation.

    To reach the summit, head towards the Equatorial Hill Resort from Brinchang and take a left turn after the Butterfly Farm. This road leads to the Sungai Palas tea estate.

    Upon reaching the estate guard house fork left and then left again, the narrow single track road then leads direct to the summit, winding up steeply through the tea estate and vegetable farms.

    The road is good and quite safe and only 8 kilometres long, but perhaps should not be attempted by inexperienced drivers. The vegetation begins to change from tropical to temperate as the summit is approached, and it can be quite chilly on windy days.

    Jungle walk number one also starts from the top, just walk around behind the Telekom station to find the path. The walk ends down at the army camp near Brinchang

    Visit Rose Valley
  • Tip Rating:
  • Updated July 2007

    If you are driving to Cameron Highlands using the Simpang Pulai route, you will come across Rose Valley on your left. It is only several km away from from Blue Valley.

    Rose Valley has been around for many years. I've visited it with my family a few times. If you like flowers and have 2-3 hours to spare, why not drop by here to take a look around. You need to pay a small entrance fee. I think children pay a bit less.

    If you like flowers and especially roses, besides the beautiful red rose, and mult-coloures ones, they also have a unique variety of green roses!
    Outside Rose Valley. you'll find a multitude of stalls that sell fresh produce and little key chains and other souvenior items.

    I have included an old picture which I had taken some years ago. When I had this picture taken seated there among the sweet smelling roses, I felt like a princess waiting for her prince, or a bride on her wedding day. (yup, I have to admit that am a romantic at heart, LOL).
