We went on the weekend, it was good timing. We visited many places on the map we bought. The most memorable thing was to visit Pasar Malam. It only happens every Saturday night. They had food, drinks, vegetables, souvenirs, and etc., that I'm interested at. We woke up really early on Sunday morning because we planned to visit the highest mountain, Gunung Brinchang. We reached there around 8:40am. It was foggy and we couldn't see special scenic view. My husband was quite disappointed. Therefore, we stayed inside the car to wait a little hoping that the fog would go away. Guess what? We experienced the earthquake from Indonesia. It wasn't apparent, I thought my husband was moving annoyingly at the back of the car, as I scolded him, haha... We only knew it was the 12-26 earthquake from Indonesia.

Cameron Higlands is no longer as cooling as it used to be. SO, staying at Brinchang area is good as it is still very cooling. I took the 'new road' via Simpang Pulai. It is easier to drive compare to the old road via Tapah. In fact I was worry at the firat place because it seems like we are the only 'tourist' on the road! After exiting from the N-S Highway, you can see signboard showing the way to Cameron Highlands. The first few kilometers is a careful drive as there are many lorries moving around some quarries/stone factories. After this stretch, it is quite and smooth. The sign board initially only show 'Pos Slim' for much of the journey. Only when we go higher in the hill then we can start to see 'Kampung Raja', which is the first town we will reach in Cameron Highland. At the later stage, you will see clear signbord to tell you to turm right to Cameron Highlands. The journey took us less than an hour.
Well, dinner-wise please refrain from visiting 'Silverstar Steamboat Restraunt' in Brinchang town (opposite the taxi stand). They will 'reduce the food portion' accrodingly so that you will no choice but to order extra. That is how they make 'extra' money. We felt like being conned having our dinner there. Our doubts are confirmed on the second day when we joined a guided tour. The local tour guide has also advised us not to go to the same restaurant as well. He says that even local paper has also reported this bad place! Well, on my journey back I was using the old road to Tapah. The temperature start to go up as soon as we reach Tanah Rata. When we stopped at the Waterfalls (some 15-20 km away from tapah), the 'cool feeling' was gone totally! The waterfalls is not well kept as we can see littering around. Overall, the journey was good as we have a short span of 'get away from our dairy routine'.

You can walk from the lakehouse to Tanah Rata via trail 9, which is quite demanding, but very pretty. It takes about 2 hours. Boh's tea plantation is also worth a visit.

We would recommend a visit to the Cameron Highlands to anyone wanting to experience fresh air, friendly people and wonderful scenery, the peace and serenity of this place would be a tonic to anyone wanting to escape the rat race for a while. A visit to the Rose Garden is a must if only to seek the wonderful views to be found there and have time to explore every flight of tiny steps situated in the garden. Use local taxis to get around, prices are very reasonable and with luck you will have a driver who is ready to pass on information about the area. Visit a tea plantation and factory for an interesting lesson on tea production.

We enjoyed cool air and a lot of flowers. Also we enjoyed tea with nice scone or shortbread at many place. Picking own strawberry at Equatorial Strawberry farm is enjoyable for children. If you come from Europe, you can see unique tropical trees and life of aborigine but not so much tropical feeling.

I have been to the Cameron highlands 3 times now, the jungle walks are excellent. You don't need a guide but have to be fairly fit. Do go to the Smokehouse for tea and a scone and do visit the tea plantation. There is only enough to do for maybe 2 days and it's quite a long journey 3.5 -4 hours from KL. You can get a taxi for about 200RM.

The Cameron Highlands offers a pleasant climate, beautiful country, and a few tourist atractions. It is really a destination for peace and quiet. The golf course up the road is delightful.

The Cameron Highland Golf Course is near to the hotel and very challenging course even though it is a public course at reasonable green fee.
