Cameron Highlands
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.
