Cameron Highlands is an inland city, colder than the vast majority of cities visited in Malaysia and surprises with its natural attractions, especially the huge tea plantations, which create a landscape of an incredible light green tone. It is a city strong in agriculture and has also made the agriculture a tourist attraction.

Cameron Highlands (Tanah Tinggi Cameron: in Malay) was discovered in 1885 by the British Sir William Cameron. The city only began to develop in the 1930s when the British and Malays moved to the region, finding the perfect climate to develop the cultivation of tea and its crops. To this day, the city retains a British style, mainly in its buildings.

Despite being a small town, it has several natural attractions. It is worth including Cameron Highlands in your Malaysia travel itinerary.

There are tours from Kuala Lumpur to Cameron Highlands. They are usually 1 day, leaving KL very early and visiting the main attractions of Cameron.

What to do in Cameron Highlands

There are several tea plantations that you can visit in the city, and you pass in front of one of them even when arriving by bus in Tanah Rata.

Boh Tea Center

They have a shop where you can also buy several of the teas grown there, and a cafeteria where you can drink and eat something while enjoying the view of the plantations.

It is possible to visit the tea plantations and the factory and shop of the BOH Tea Plantation – the only factory that has its doors open to the public – which is the largest producer in this region. It is worth a visit (the visit is free) and understand the tea production process, from the plant to sale. You can take the opportunity to drink tea (or buy it to go) in the cafeteria, which has a beautiful view over the hills.

Insect Gardens

The insect garden, there you will find beautiful butterflies and various insects. There is also a small insect museum inside the place, with several of them catalogued.

Rafflesia the biggest flower in the world

Another very curious thing that you can do during your visit to Cameron Highlands is to go trekking to see the biggest flower in the world, the Rafflesia.

Seeing this curious species of flower is something unique. Rafflesia can weigh over 10 kg and be over 1 meter in diameter. It is a pity because due to deforestation it is in danger of extinction, which is why it is increasingly difficult to find it.

Trails

Cameron Highlands is also known for the various trails it has in the region. It goes from a lightest level to the heaviest. Therefore, the trails are classified from 1 to 10. You can use a map application to get better directions during the trail, but remember to download the local map when you have internet, to guarantee this map if you are offline over there.

Today, visitors to the Cameron Highlands can choose from a variety of activities beyond the obligatory visit to a tea plantation. Hiking through dense green forests is definitely part of it. Particularly noteworthy is the Mossy Forest, which takes its visitors into an enchanted fairytale world. On the one hand, the paths in and out of the forest are sometimes very difficult, and on the other hand, the guides have all kinds of fun facts about the forest and its surroundings. Do not forget to bring a warm jacket or sweater, as it can be cold in the forest and in general in the Cameron Highlands (up to 15 degrees Celsius).

Bringchang Sam Poh Temple

As you already know, Malaysia is a country with a great mixture of cultures and religions and, best of all, they all coexist without problems. I wish it were like that in the rest of the world.

For this reason, located 1 km south of Bringchag on its main road (you can walk perfectly) you will find the Buddhist temple "Sam Poh Temple" dedicated to Zheng Ho, which by the way is the fourth largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia. 

Now that you've got all the tips, all you have to do is set up the itinerary, choose the accommodation using BITBOOK.NET, pack your suitcase and throw yourself into the charm of this amazing place.
