About Cameron Highlands


Cameron Highlands, a hilly region in Pahang, Malaysia is accessible from Kuala Lumpur and Perak.

It started as an outpost for the British somewhere in the late 19th century.

There are 3 main townships – Brinchang, Tanah Rata and Ringlet. With smaller villages like Blue Valley, Tringkap and Kea Farm in between.

The elevation range is between 2,600 ft to ~5,200 ft above sea level.  A cooler climate encourages growth of various flora not seen in the mainland. Strawberries and tea are notable crops here!

Useful Info


Windy uphill roads means that public transport is not as efficient or reliable as in other cities in Malaysia. Locals usually get around via motorcycles and cars.

It’s not advisable to travel up to Cameron Highlands during the rainy season too! So plan accordingly!
