Beautiful location, excellent jungle treKking. Went to all the places of interest locally, which only took 2 days - and then there was nothing to do!! It is not possible to hire a car in the Cameron Highlands so Taxis are the only way to get around. Soon gets boring if you are an active person. Would have been much more enjoyable had we have been told this and we would have hired a car from KL and visited places further afield.

Cameron Highlands is certainly worth visiting for it's beautiful views and clean, fresh air. But be sure to take warm clothes with you, as it's much cooler than in the rest of Malaysia. Wear proper shoes for a jungle trek, as the path is often steep and slippery. Robinson Falls littered with rubbish hanging from the trees over the water,the local authority doesn't seem to be bothered by it.

We loved the highland area. We climbed to the highest point (over 6500ft) and it was very challenging and rewarding. If you're not in physical condition, do not attempt without a guide. The differences between the highlands and KL are worlds apart.
The drive up the mountain took almost 4 hours, so if you're prone to car sickness, be prepared. The scenery was breathtaking. It rained about the same time everyday, but was very refreshing.

The place is panoramic and beautiful. The climate is maybe the coolest in Malaysia and it is at the hill. At the nights the whole town is very lively and there's lot of night hangouts around.

The hotel is three and a half hours north of K-L. The first two hours is by motorway followed by 90 minutes driving up the mountain round hairpin bends.
There is very little to do except play golf and walk the area. The half day visit to the Boh tea plantation is worth the time. We ate in the hotel each night because as ex-pats we cannot get English food! To get around you need a car although taxis are readily available and cheap.

The plantation tour organised by the tour desk was disappointing. The tour guide was imcompetent. We were left to wander around the attractions on our own while he was having tea breaks with his friends. We could have done it on our own.
Arrangement can also be made with taxi drivers to bring you around Cameron Highlands at affordable rate. The Pasar Malam at Brinchang was good for souvenir hunting.

Take the jungle walk with a guide, its worth it and you won't feel lost. Don't miss the tour of the countryside.

Great place to cool down and adjust to the climate. Jungle walks also great for both adults and children.
