Cameron Highlands A refreshing cool retreat is the best way to describe Cameron Highlands. Undulating valleys and majestic mountains surround this popular hill station that rises between 600 and 2032 m above sea level. A four hour drive from Kuala Lumpur, Cameron Highlands is the largest hill resort in the country. Sprawling tea plantation, terraced flower gardens, orchards and vegetables farms are common sights due to the cool climate. Stop by Strawberry farms and sample delicious homemade jams. Flower nurseries are a delight to visit, while the Argo Technology Park at MARDI in the main town in Tanah Rata is filled with temperate blooms and herbs. Trace the history of tea planting on our guided tour after which, indulge in a cup of hot tea of your preferred flavour and some tasty shortbread. Golfers can tee off at the 18-hole golf course between Tanah Rata and Brinchang town. Fresh fruit fruits and vegetables, potted plants, cacti and souvenirs can be purchased in Brinchang and Kea Farm. The small town of Tapah at the foothills of Cameron Highlands is the gateway to the hill station and can be reached by bus, taxi or train from Kuala Lumpur. From Tapah, regular bus and taxi services are available to Tanah Rata, 60 km away. This Highland retreat is also accessible via the new highway at Simpang Pulai. If you are driving from Kuala Lumpur, the Simpang Pulai exit is about 45 minutes north of Tapah along the North-South Expressway.
