Cameron Highland, Pahang, Malaysia

Road heading to Equatorial Hotel

BOH tea plantation

One of my favourite place to relax in Malaysia is Cameron Highland. Cameron Highland located 4 hours driving from Kuala Lumpur. Since I am nature loving, I love Cameoron Highland more than Genting Highland. Cameron Highland is hillside resort located in Pahang. The air is cool and fresh.

Activity in Cameron Highland including visiting BOH tea plantation in Sungai Palas, visiting cactus valley and strawberry park. If you are more adventureos, you could go hiking into rainforest.

Where to stay? Cameron Highland offers a variety of luxury hotel. My favourite is Equatorial Hotel. The hotel located in Brinchang, one of the tallest place in Cameron. Breakfast is variety and surrounding area is great. I love the heated indoor swimming pool.

Cameron Highland also has a number of private apartment or bungalows. If you bring your familiy, is cheaper to rent the whole apartment or bungalows.

Driving tips: Before drive, check your coolant. Buy and top up before climbing hills. Makesure your fuel is almost full because all the way up from highway exit, there are no fuel station. In Cameron Highland, there are several fuel station. Before you going back, top up your fuel. Is cheaper to buy fuel in cool climate. Switch on light in mist. Do not use hazard light.

For easy driving, use North-South Highway exit Simpang Pulai to go to Cameron Highland (more info visit http://www.cameron-highland-destination.com/highlands-getting-there.html).

Do: Bring light warm cloth, buy fresh vegetables and flowers and visit BOH plantation.

Don't: Sun bathing (it's cool there).
