It's cold in hereRoom temperature, Bearable.

A combination of green and cold/fresh, very good for your mind body and soul. Cameron Highlands, without having to go abroad is less colder from Genting Highlands even, but that’s what make it a nice place to rest. You don’t have to wear shirt after shirt after shirt just to get you warm, Normal clothing is enough. The air, the view, the people, the food, the cost are all nice. The cost is not very high, the food is cheap, the hotel is cheap as well, considering now is peak season, including surcharge for 3 bed room cost me only RM170 including breakfast. Going about Cameron highlands also easy, it’s less than 15 minutes drive to any directions. With the help of GPS, i recommend you to have one, they are considerably cheap now, you can plan your visits and find attractions close to current locations or along the locations as well. So, let me share with you what cameron highlands have to offer:

Cameron highlands attractions:

  • Rose Valley - Not cool. It cost you RM4.00 so that you can smell the chicken shit
  • Butterfly Farm - 1/2 Cool. It cost you RM5.00 and you can see pretty much the same species butterflies and few reptiles and insects. Some flower as well
  • Cameron Bharat Tea Shop - Cool. It’s free. You can walk and run in the tea trees if you want. Teh Tarik cost you RM3.00 though
  • Sg Palas Boh’ Tea Center - Cool. It cost you, RM0.00. You are allowed to walk around in the factory as well, and they have a very nice information center and tea shop. Don’t park your car down the hill, if you do the cool factor goes down the drain. I parked my car just beside the factory. No sweat at all hahah.
  • Strawberry Farm - Vary. There’s a lot of strawberry farm up here. And pretty much every single one of them allow handpicking your strawberries. Some charge some don’t, go to the free one. Why you want to pay when you get it for free anyway. Just pay for what you picked, and bring along everyone, no limit.
  • Brinchang Night Market - Cool. It’s night, It’s getting colder and some of you might shiver. You can find and buy a lot of cheap stuff here. Roses, strawberries, dried flowers, foods and a lot more, typical pasar malam with cameron specialty products. Entrance fee: Free.
  • Road Side Stalls - Cool. Along the road, you can find a lot of shops and stalls selling foods, vegetables, fruits and souvenirs. They are fun to browse and cheap too. Be picky if you must, you have a lot of options. 14 packets of fresh vegetables cost you only RM10. At certain shop 7 packets for RM10.00.
  • Cactus Center - 1/4 Cool. Advertised as Free Admission. As advertised it’s free. It’s a commercial cactus nursery anyway.
  • Multicrops Center - Cool. Again, it’s free. They have a very nice in-shop flower garden there and you can order variety of foods ranging from breads, ice creams and i can’t remember :-D
  • Tanah Rata Reject Shop - If you forgot to bring you sweater, Not to worry, they have it here for just RM10.00 or even as low as RM5.00.
  • Cameron Highland itself - Super Cool

Sg Palas Tea CenterSg Palas Tea Center - The path you’ve to climb if you park down the hill

IguanaFound this at butterfy farm

Kg Raja RoadPulai - Kg Raja Road

There are more attractions here but some of it we missed. Such as lata iskandar, a very nice waterfall as i can remember. We used Pulai - Kg Raja route instead of Tapah route because of the road much less dangerous. But during the whole stretch after pulai until we reach kg raja, no network signal at all. We missed lata iskandar, we also missed honey bee farm, robinsons waterfall and few other. The conclusion is, go for free stuff here. They are free and are way cooler than the paid one.
