Cameron Highlands

Cameron Highlands is Malaysia's lagest and best-known hill resort. Discovered by, and named afterWilliam Cameron, a goverment surveyor who, in 1885 explored the area by hacking a path up throughdense jungle and came across, "A fine plateau shut in by mountains". At 1524m above sea level the areaenjoys a cool climate, with temperatures no higher than 20C and rarely falling below 10C, a welcomechange to the generally oppressive heat and humisity at sea level.

Without doubt the most interesting aspect of a visit to the resort is its tea plantations, the first of whichwere established in 1929 by John Archibald Russell and belong to the most famous Malaysian tea

producer, Boh Tea. The estates arewonderfully manicured and visitors arewelcome to view the factory production

process and enjoy a cuppa' at the tea shop. Other interesting places to visit include the numerousvegetable farms dotted all around the area.

There are also strawberry farms, flower nurseries, butterfly farms, a challenging 18 hole golf courseand for the more adventurious various jungle treks. The three main highlands towns are Ringlet,Tanah Rata and Brinchang with most visitors staying in and around the latter two. Accommodationvaries from small inexpensive hotels and guest houses, to self-catering apartments and first classhotels. Any time of year is suitable for a visit, but try to avoid the main public and school holidayperiods as the area can become very busy. It is also best to be prepared for the 2 hour journey from

the entry point at Tapah to Tanah Rata, the drive is not steep and is extremely interesting, but theroad is quite narrow and very winding, so drive carefully and try to stop occasionally to enjoy thevarious sights along the way. These include the impressive Lata Iskandar waterfall, amazing tropicalvegetation and various Orang Asli (indigenous people) dwellings. Without doubt Cameron Highlandsis the place to visit on Peninsular Malaysia.
