Cameron Highlands
Cameron Highlands is Malaysia's most celebrated hill station, a beautiful cool highland plateau at 1500 metres carpeted with rolling tea plantations, strawberry farms, mossy forest trails and butterfly sanctuaries that provide a refreshing escape from the tropical heat of the lowlands. From the BOH tea plantation and the Mossy Forest on Gunung Brinchang to the strawberry farms and night markets, Cameron Highlands provides a completely different Malaysian experience.
Elect's take
"Cameron Highlands is one of those destinations that provides complete respite from the tropical heat. The tea plantations are beautiful, the Mossy Forest is extraordinary and the combination of colonial atmosphere and natural scenery creates a genuinely restorative destination."
The BOH Tea Plantation is the most visited attraction in Cameron Highlands, providing free tours of Malaysia's oldest and most celebrated tea estate with outstanding views and the opportunity to taste BOH tea at the clifftop café. The Mossy Forest on the summit of Gunung Brinchang provides an extraordinary experience of ancient cloud forest draped in moss and inhabited by pitcher plants and rare orchids. The strawberry farms provide an unusual picking experience. Butterfly Park houses an outstanding collection of Malaysian butterflies and insects. The cool evenings make Cameron Highlands ideal for fresh highland vegetable markets.
