Cameron Highlands
The holiday destination of Cameron Highlands is the largest hill
resort in Malaysia, located at the northwestern edge of Pahang
state at an altitude of 6,001 feet (1,829m). This fertile region
comprises a series of villages scattered along the main road amidst
terraced plantations bursting with vegetable, tea, flower and
strawberry plantations.
The colourful Cameron Highlands rose gardens and Tudor inns
share the best of British customs within a climate suited to more
refined activities. While on holiday, the scenic drive along the
main route of the Highlands can be taken at a leisurely pace to
include a stop at the Kuala Who Forest Recreation Park and the Lata
Iskandar waterfall.
The pleasure of a holiday in the Cameron Highlands (besides the
temperate conditions) is the choice of attractions. Whilst the
emphasis is on relaxation, this can be achieved with the inclusion
of strolls through Brinchang's market square, pottering around the
handicraft stores or unwinding at the Buddhist Temple.
Besides Brinchang, Ringlet and Tanah Rata are quaint towns to
explore from Cameron Highlands. Other popular holiday activities in
the area include trips to the tea plantations, strawberry farms and
waterfalls. Walks are numerous and scenic and can be enjoyed at
leisure over a few days. The Cameron Highlands' 18-hole, par-71
golf course is open to the public.
