What to Expect on a Cameron Highlands Day Tour & Tips for Visiting
I knew during my trip to Kuala Lumpur , I wanted to make time to visit at least one big place out of the city while I was here. Since I’m a big tea fan, naturally I planned to do a nice Cameron Highlands day tour to explore the area as efficiently as possible.
About midway through my trip, I decided to take the plunge and go to the highlands for two nights and one full day, as per my friend, Milou’s advice . It’s just a really lovely way to get out of the city’s humidity for a day or two. I decided to leave my laptop behind and travel with only my daypack so I could really try to disconnect.
What are the Cameron Highlands?
The Cameron Highlands ( Tanah Tinggi Cameron in Malay) is about 200km or 4-5 hours north of Kuala Lumpur in the Pahang state and sits 2,600 ft – 5,259 ft above sea level. It’s made of eight mountains, with Mt. Batu Brinchang as the highest you can reach by car, and eight settlements, the main one being Tanah Rata. The local aborigines are known as the Orang Asli, though, like most of Malaysia, the population is a mix of Chinese, Bumiputeras, Malays, Indians, and more.
![cameron highlands day tour from tanah rata](https://thereshegoesagain.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/boh-tea-plantation-2.jpg)
How we know of the area today is pretty much a colonial British creation.
The highlands get their name from William Cameron, who discovered the area in 1885 and promptly died about 2 weeks later. The land only started being developed after George Maxwell visited to see if it’d make a good resort in the 1920s, with construction beginning in the 1930s.
Today it’s known for its tea plantations and nature. Coupled with its cooler, more even temperatures, it’s a great way to relax in Malaysia.
Cameron Highland Tips
How long to stay.
So, you can do an actual day trip to the highlands from Kuala Lumpur. This tour starts with a 7am pick-up at your hotel and ends with an 8pm drop off. However, you’re going to be on the bus for roughly 4-5 hours each way, so to me that just sounded kind of exhausting. You’d spend more time traveling than actually seeing the area!
Instead, I did one full day for a tour there and stayed two nights. If you really wanted to slow travel, you could probably spend another day or two, especially if you’re traveling Malaysia and headed towards Penang or Ipoh afterwards.
HOW TO GET TO THE CAMERON HIGHLANDS FROM KUALA LUMPUR
The absolute easiest way is to just book a bus! You can do it all on Easybook , and it should be about RM 35 (~$8.50 USD) each way. It’s the same price as if you book at the stations too — I checked.
On the way there, it took about 4 1/2 hours, and the last 19 miles of winding, uphill road took at least an hour of it! On the way back, it was only 3 hours. I used Uniti Express and CS Travel, and both were cushy, well air-conditioned, and comfortable. They each made one stop at bathrooms.
![cameron highlands day tour from tanah rata](https://thereshegoesagain.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ch-bus.jpg)
The buses leave from a few different stations in KL. I left from Terminal Bersepadu Selatan and came back to KL Sentral . Both were easy, cheap Grab rides to and from my Airbnb. The nice thing about KL Sentral is that it’s near Little India and Brickfields, so if you want some Indian food when you get back, you can walk right over. Also, for Bersepadu, just go to the 7-11 for snacks and things. The other place’s stuff was overpriced, and they didn’t offer nearly as much.
The main bus terminal for the Highlands is Tanah Rata Bus Terminal . Just an FYI, there weren’t really any convenience stores nearby, so if you’re the kind of person who wants to bring snacks on the bus, get them before you head over there.
![cameron highlands day tour from tanah rata](https://thereshegoesagain.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/mossy-forest-trek-5.jpg)
HOW TO GET AROUND
Just an FYI, Grab doesn’t work in this region. If you need to get around and can’t by foot, you’ll have to use a taxi. Apparently, they’re more expensive here than, say, KL, but I didn’t take one, so I can’t be sure.
I also did see a sign advertising motorbikes, if you trust yourself enough to ride one along the very windy roads. The sign I saw was for RM 50 for 5 hours and RM 80 for 10 hours.
WHERE TO STAY
There are quite a few places to stay in the Cameron Highlands, mainly in the town of Tanah Rata. I’d recommend staying here and as close to the terminal as you can, so you avoid taking a taxi.
I stayed at The Cave House , which is set in an apartment complex about a 10-15 minute walk from the terminal. Just use Google Maps to guide you!
It’s a nice, budget-friendly place, and I only paid $29 USD for 2 nights in a private room, shared common area, and bathroom. Since I was also continuing to pay for my place in KL for those same two nights, I really didn’t want to spend too much for somewhere I was literally just sleeping! They have a free breakfast of toast and jam and tea and coffee, and there’s a filter to refill your water bottle. It’s also near some restaurants if you’re hungry, but I wasn’t, so I skipped dinner while I was there.
It is in an apartment complex, and sound carries a lot, especially if you keep the windows open like I did. Who knew small children could run around outside at all hours of the night and still have energy? If you’re a light sleeper, bring ear plugs.

Other Places
If you can splurge a bit, I’d try the Cameron Highlands Resort , which is uber luxurious. Or, on the opposite end, if you’re on even more of a budget than me, try Traveller Bunker Hostel 1 , which is only an 8-minute walk from the terminal.
There are also some Airbnb options if you want to set up shop here for more than a few days. If I was properly traveling through Malaysia and needed somewhere quiet to work, this is probably what I’d do. This apartment is in Brinchang , which is where the main attractions are, and pretty inexpensive while still being spacious and cute.
![cameron highlands day tour from tanah rata](https://thereshegoesagain.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/mossy-forest-trek-7.jpg)
WHAT TO WEAR & THE WEATHER
The highlands were a LOT cooler than Kuala Lumpur, which was lovely since KL was going through a heatwave. My room didn’t even have A/C in it because the temperature is so regularly cool.
If you get cold easily, then I’d probably wear loose pants and a comfortable top, like my go-to UNIQLO lounge pants . It also can get rainy, so if you’re worried, bring a light rain coat as well. I just wore jean shorts, short sleeved shirts, and black Nike sneakers. If I’d realized I’d be trekking like I did, I would have brought my hiking sneakers on this trip, but my Nike ones were fine.
OVERALL BUDGET
Guys, I kept track this time! Since it was such a short trip, and I didn’t spend much, it was easy to remember:
- Bus to and from KL – RM 70
- 2 nights hostel – RM 120
- 1 day tour – RM 90
- Lunch – RM 15 (or less can’t remember exact)
- Cake & Iced Tea – RM 20 (or less)
- Tea Souvenirs – RM 90
Total : RM 405 (~$99 USD)
Not too shabby for a big day, fairly touristy day trip! If you really wanted to make this cheaper, skip the tea souvenirs and get an even cheaper hostel. Obviously, if you do get hungry, you’ll want to add about RM 30 more for two dinners.
My Cameron Highlands Day Tour
I booked my day tour through the Cave House, and it wound up being with Eco Cameron Tours. You can shop around in Tanah Rata if you want to compare prices, but mine was RM 90 (~$22 USD) for the day, which seemed fair enough for me. Our tour wound up being a teensy bit different, so here’s what you’ll probably wind up doing if you do the same tour as I did with them.
![cameron highlands day tour from tanah rata](https://thereshegoesagain.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/eco-cameron-jeep.jpg)
8:45 AM – PICK-UP
My guide, Hema, picked me up right in front of my guesthouse. There were a total of six people in our group, and I was the second stop. They use a manual jeep, which is a pretty fun ride on the roads.
![cameron highlands day tour from tanah rata](https://thereshegoesagain.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/mossy-forest-trek-2.jpg)
9:15 AM – MOSSY FOREST
Instead of taking us to the normal walk in the Mossy Forest, Hema took us trekking. He asked us if we’d prefer to the normal walkway, which now costs RM 30, or if we’d like to go trekking on Eco Cameron’s private trail nearby. We decided to do the trekking.
Guys, I WAS NOT PREPARED. In my head, I didn’t think it’d be such an uphill trek, but it was. I almost wore my Birkenstocks for this trip. Can you imagine what a mess that would have been? It was pretty muddy because of the recent rain, and the pathways are literally just dirt.
![cameron highlands day tour from tanah rata](https://thereshegoesagain.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/mossy-forest-trek-6.jpg)
We did get the whole thing to ourselves, and the view from the top was amazing. Just make sure you’re not wearing white (like me…) and be prepared to get quite dirty and sweaty. My backpack had mud at the bottom, I fell into a hole, so my one leg was dirty, and, of course, my hands were constantly dirty from balancing myself and jumping up or down things. Luckily one of the girls on the trip share her wet wipes with us, but I was still picking dirt from under my nails later in the day.
![cameron highlands day tour from tanah rata](https://thereshegoesagain.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/boh-tea-plantation.jpg)
11:00 AM – BOH TEA PLANTATION LOOKOUT
Once we finished our hike, we went over to the real selling point of the whole area — Boh Tea Plantation! First we stopped by the famous lookout point while Hema told us a bit about the area:
- It was started by a Scottish family in 1929, and the granddaughter still runs them now
- BOH just means “Best of Highlands” or “Beauty of Highlands” LOL
- They ONLY produce black tea
- 85% of the workers are women
- It’s not very high, about 1,500 above sea level
- 95% of the tea goes to Malaysia and only 5% is exported to nearby countries
![cameron highlands day tour from tanah rata](https://thereshegoesagain.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/boh-tea-plantation-4.jpg)
11:30 AM – BOH TEA PLANTATION
We then had about an hour to enjoy the plantation, including doing a tour to see how the leaves are made, enjoy the crowded cafe, and buy some tea for ourselves. I didn’t wind up doing a factory tour, but I enjoyed the views with carrot cake and peach iced tea, and then got two different kinds of tea to bring home with me.
![cameron highlands day tour from tanah rata](https://thereshegoesagain.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/boh-cafe.jpg)
In retrospect, this and maybe the hike were my favorite parts of the day. So if I didn’t want to do a tour next time, I’d just get a taxi or figure out a way to come to the plantation and stick around longer.
1:00 PM – BUTTERFLY GARDEN — DO NOT RECOMMEND
UGH. I didn’t even think about this place not being very animal-friendly because I didn’t even really think about going when I glanced at the itinerary. I think all day tours go here, which is really sad because it sucks. Like in my notes, I literally wrote “Sad, horrible place.” It’s not a conservation, it’s just… idk. If you’re on your own, DON’T GO, and if you’re on a tour, just tell them you’re not interested in going in. Maybe if your whole group is disinterested, you can stay longer at the tea plantation or head to your next stops.
Not only are there butterflies, there are other animals and insects held in cages, some of them obviously too small. If Wild Florida was a place where the animals were beyond loved, this was the EXACT opposite. There’s no one in there watching them and making sure bratty kids aren’t constantly trying to touch the butterflies, and it just looks miserable. I finally left when I snapped at a 3-year-old kid for kicking a cat while his stupid parents said nothing. I tried seeing if the cat was ok, but, rightfully so, that guy jetted off away from humans.
Dear all Cameron Highlands day tours, especially Eco Cameron, STOP INCLUDING THIS IN YOUR ITINERARY.
![cameron highlands day tour from tanah rata](https://thereshegoesagain.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/cameron-highlands-lunch.jpg)
1:30 PM – LUNCH AT RESTORAN YAO YAT
After the gardens, we went to lunch at Restoran Yao Yat, which was… okay. I was still upset over the Butterfly Garden and the cat kicking, so I wasn’t exactly hungry. I got the Nasi Lemak and ate maybe a few bites of the chicken and some rice because I mixed in the sauce and realized I didn’t really like it. There were also flies everywhere , and we spent half our time swatting them away.
![cameron highlands day tour from tanah rata](https://thereshegoesagain.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/cameron-highlands-market.jpg)
2:30 PM – LOCAL MARKET
We then had some time to wander around the local market. I got handmade green tea ice cream, which was pretty delicious, and just enjoyed the cooler air and peeking into the different stalls.
![cameron highlands day tour from tanah rata](https://thereshegoesagain.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/raju-strawberry-farm-2.jpg)
3:15 PM – RAJU’S HILL STRAWBERRY FARM
Near the market is Raju’s Hill Strawberry Farm. You can tell where it is by the rainbow colored stairs leading up. There Hema told us about the Cameron Highlands and strawberries before we tried some organic jam and juice. Big fan of that strawberry juice (no added sugar).
![cameron highlands day tour from tanah rata](https://thereshegoesagain.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/time-tunnel-museum-6.jpg)
3:40 PM – TIME TUNNEL MUSEUM
This is such a fun little area that feels more like wandering through a cool thrift shop! It takes you back through the highland’s history from the Orang Asli to how it became known for its tea and more. There are a bunch of retro set-ups from the 50s and 60s as well. You can walk through the whole place in probably 20 minutes or less.
![cameron highlands day tour from tanah rata](https://thereshegoesagain.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/sam-poh-temple-3.jpg)
4:05 PM – SAM POH TEMPLE
Our last stop (and right before the rain hit) was Sam Poh Temple, a large, colorful Buddhist temple. There’s not much to see once you’re inside, so it really isn’t a long stop at all.
4:30 PM – BACK TO OUR HOTELS
We were then dropped off at our respective hotels! I immediately took a shower and shoved all my dirty clothes away before spending the rest of the evening reading and texting with friends. All in all, a peaceful end to an adventurous day!
And there you have it! A full guide on what to expect on a day tour of the Cameron Highlands! Let me know if you’ve been and what you thought of the area.

Is A Day Trip To Cameron Highlands Enough?
![Cameron-Valley-Tea-House-min Cameron-Valley-Tea-House](https://www.livingoutlau.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Cameron-Valley-Tea-House-min.webp)
If you are planning a Cameron Highlands trip, you must wonder if one day in Cameron Highlands is enough . After all, there are tons of stunning Cameron Highlands attractions. Is one day really enough to enjoy them all?
The answer is… probably not .
From morning to night, Cameron Highlands is packed with fun activities. There are night markets, hiking trails, tea plantations, waterfalls , the list goes on and on. One day is simply not enough to fully experience Cameron Highlands.
Ideally, you would want to spend at least a weekend there. If you can only spend a day in Cameron Highlands, you will be able to see the main points of interest, but you will also miss quite a few!
If you are visiting just for a day, we recommend you take a tour to Cameron Highlands so you can get the most out of your time.
How To Get To Cameron Highlands, Malaysia
Located in the center of the Malay Peninsula, Cameron Highlands is reachable by many of the big cities of Malaysia. Below we will talk about how to get to Cameron Highlands from Kuala Lumpur (KL), Penang, and Ipoh .
Getting From KL To Cameron Highlands
If you want to take a Cameron Highlands day trip from KL, you must be willing to get up early . About 200 kilometers apart, it takes about 3 hours to drive from Kuala Lumpur to Cameron Highlands .
Personally, we wouldn’t recommend you to spend just one day in Cameron Highlands if you are coming from KL because you will spend half the day sitting on your butt.
Besides renting a car / having a car and driving to Cameron Highlands, you can also take the bus. The KL to Cameron Highlands bus departs at Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) , and the journey takes about 3.5 hours.
If you get carsick easily, take a motion sickness pill. Though the journey is very scenic, it is also very windy.
Unfortunately, you cannot go from KL to Cameron Highlands by train. The train only takes you to Ipoh, where you would have to take a bus or drive to Cameron Highlands.
Due to the long commute, I recommend taking a tour from Kuala Lumpur to Cameron Highlands.
Getting From Ipoh To Cameron Highlands
![cameron highlands day tour from tanah rata Terminal-Amanjaya-Ipoh](https://www.livingoutlau.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Terminal-Amanjaya-Ipoh-min.webp)
If you are going from Ipoh to Cameron Highlands, you can be a lot more flexible. The journey takes a little less than 2 hours , and renting a car or taking the bus are both viable options.
For anyone flying into the Cameron Highlands airport, you are actually going into the Ipoh Airport, because it is the closest airport to Cameron Highlands.
If you are taking the bus from Ipoh to Cameron Highlands , you will have to get it from the Terminal Amanjaya . It is located 20-30 minutes away from Ipoh center, so plan accordingly. The bus journey takes about 2 hours and you are dropped off at Tanah Rata, one of the two main towns in Cameron Highlands.
The bus schedule is as follows: 8 AM, 10 AM, 11:30 AM, 12:30 PM, 3 PM, 5 PM, and 6:30 PM. This schedule changes occasionally, so it is best to reserve your ticket online before or buy your ticket at the terminal a day before.
If you are taking a taking day trip from Ipoh to Cameron Highlands, chances are you will want to take the 8 AM bus.
Getting From Penang To Cameron Highlands
Taking a day trip from Penang to Cameron Highlands is similar to taking one from Kuala Lumpur, it takes about 3 hours driving to get there. You must wake up early to avoid rush hour, otherwise it might take longer than you expect.
If driving is not an option, buses from Penang to Cameron Highlands depart at Sungai Nibong Bus Terminal daily. Frequently, there is only one bus that leaves in the AM, making your one-day trip to Cameron Highlands much more difficult.
The other option is to drive there. Having your own transportation in Cameron Highlands will be very useful.
Cameron Highlands Day Trip Itinerary
Above is an interactive map that outlines the stops on our itinerary. Make sure you take a look before visiting Cameron Highlands!
Quick summary of the morning activities in CH:
- Boh Tea Centre
- EE Feng Gu Bee Farm
Aim to arrive in Cameron Highlands as early as possible, ideally before 9 AM.
The first stop of your 1-day Cameron Highlands itinerary is the renowned BOH Tea Centre . (Don’t get this confused with BOH Tea Plantation, which is another destination in Cameron Highlands)
Due to the moderate weather, consistent rainfall, and rich soil, the tea produced from Cameron Highlands is some of the finest tea you will find in the world.
At BOH Tea Centre, you can marvel at the acres of undisturbed tea plantations with the perfect cup of tea in hand. The tea plants stretch for miles, r unning up and down the lush hills of Cameron Highlands.
The vibrant blue sky harmonizes with the rich green, and it reminds us of the beautiful paddy fields in Sekinchan .
If you have not had breakfast yet, their cafe serves light snacks that will keep your energy up for now.
![cameron highlands day tour from tanah rata BOH-Tea-Plantation Cameron Highlands](https://www.livingoutlau.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/BOH-Tea-Plantation-2-min.webp)
When you are done enjoying the incredible views at their cafe, take a free guided tour of their tea processing facility . Here you will see every step of the procedure and every machinery used to create this tasty delicacy.
The free guided tours take place every 30 minutes, and you can register for them when you arrive at BOH Tea Centre.
Before you leave, make sure you check out the BOH Tea Shop , the perfect place to purchase BOH’s tea to take home!
BOH Tea Centre is one of the most crowded places in Cameron Highlands. We highly recommend you to arrive early and leave before the crowd comes.
- Admission Fee for BOH Tea Centre: Free
![cameron highlands day tour from tanah rata BOH-Tea-Plantation-1](https://www.livingoutlau.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/BOH-Tea-Plantation-1-min.webp)
After you have finished visiting BOH Tea Centre, it is time to move on to the next attraction on the itinerary, the Ee Feng Gu Bee Farm .
Featuring a small garden in the rear, visitors can observe the honey bees in action . After strolling through the garden, make a stop at their multi-level souvenir shop. Featuring cheap and locally-made honey, don’t forget to grab some on your way out! Honey has many known health benefits!
- Admission Fee for Ee Feng Gu Bee Farm: Free

Quick summary of the afternoon activities in CH:
- Pasar Pagi Kea Farmers’ Market
- Lord’s Cafe for afternoon tea
- Big Red Strawberry Farm
After a visit to the Ee Feng Gu Bee Farm, the next stop is the Pasar Pagi Kea Farm (Farmers’ Market) .
At first sight, this crowded farmers’ market in Cameron Highlands might look like a tourist trap. However, if you do a little bit of observing and investigating, you will notice both tourists and locals shop here.
The market is only one street long , but stalls inundate the sides of the street like the rainy season in Malaysia.
The farmers’ market mainly sells fresh produce from the region, but you will also find souvenir shops and a fair share of street food . It is also one of the best places to catch a glimpse of a local’s daily life.
If you have been following this Cameron Highlands one day itinerary, you probably have not eaten yet. Time to stuff yourself with some street food!
![Pasar-Pagi-Kea-Farm-(Farmers-Market)-min Pasar-Pagi-Kea-Farm-(Farmers-Market)](https://www.livingoutlau.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Pasar-Pagi-Kea-Farm-Farmers-Market-min.webp)
Chances are you the street food at the farmer’s market is just a Band-Aid on a bullet wound. If you are like us and love to eat all the time, you might still be hungry after the street food.
If that is the case, it is time to head into Tanah Rata !
Modeled after a traditional British village, Tanah Rata is a quaint walkable town in Cameron Highlands. Known for its easy accessibility, good food, and affordable accommodation, Tanah Rata is the best place to stay in Cameron Highlands.
Here in Tanah Rata, you will find your afternoon tea (or second meal).
Being an ex-British colony, Malaysia still has many traces of British traditions. In the Lord’s Cafe in Tanah Rata, you will find delicious British scones, pies, cakes , and other dishes. Their strawberry scones are known to be mouth-wateringly delicious.
After a delicious second meal at the Lord’s Cafe, it is time for one of Cameron Highlands’ best attractions, the Big Red Strawberry Farm .
![Scones-Cameron-Highlands-min Scones-Cameron-Highlands](https://www.livingoutlau.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Scones-Cameron-Highlands-min.webp)
Not only is Cameron Highlands climate perfect for cultivating tea, but it is also the ideal location for growing strawberries . Throughout Cameron Highlands, there are numerous amount of strawberry farms, but the one you must visit is the Big Red Strawberry Farm .
The Big Red Strawberry Farm is exactly what the name suggests, a big strawberry farm. Visitors can stroll down its hydroponic environment and check out the strawberries growing in action. When they first start growing, the strawberries are as tiny as a peanut , an occurrence we usually don’t get to see.
Besides strawberries, the farm also grows a variety of other produce such as vegetables and flowers. They also have an on-site cafe serving food made with ingredients from the farm. The strawberry sundae is one that you have to try!
If you are visiting Cameron Highlands, chances are you would like to do some strawberry picking. At Big Red Strawberry Farm, the price for strawberry picking is 60 RM per 1 kg. If you are traveling to Cameron Highlands with kids, this is a must-do activity.
Before you visit, give the farm a call to make sure strawberry picking is available. Though the strawberry-picking season is from May to August , it is best to confirm with the property!

Quick summary of the evening activities in CH:
- Golden Hills Weekend Night Market (only available on weekends)
- Mossy Forest (optional)
- Mount Brinchang for sunset (optional)
At this point, you are probably exhausted from your Cameron Highlands trip. While there are still many things to do in Cameron Highlands, you have seen the best.
If you have extra time, I would recommend that you visit the Mossy Forest and Mount Brinchang for sunset , though it is a bit of effort to get to both. (We will talk about these two attractions down below.)
If you are visiting Cameron Highlands on the weekend , then you are in luck. The Cameron Highlands Night Market, also known as the Golden Hills Weekend Night Market , is happening!
The Golden Hills Weekend Night Market is the best thing to do in Cameron Highlands at night. If you thought the street food at the farmers’ market was intense, then you need to see the Golden Hills Weekend Night Market.
You can find extremely affordable meals here, great souvenirs , and lots of sweaty people . Golden Hills Weekend Night Market does not understand the concept of personal space! It surely didn’t stop us from getting a 4 RM meal here though.
If you have been to Jalan Alor in Kuala Lumpur, this night market is about half the size but twice the hecticness. Skewers, nasi lemak ( the national food of Malaysia ), nasi goreng (fried rice), mie goreng (fried noodles), fried vegetables, desserts, there is definitely more food than you can handle!
Don’t worry about giving everything a try though because the food there is so affordable.
Though advertised as a night market, the market is open as early as 5 PM. Don’t miss it before you leave Cameron Highlands (if you are here on a weekend).

Additional Things To Do In Cameron Highlands
If you have extra time on your day Cameron Highlands one day trip, consider some of the additional things to do down below. Similarly, if you have more than one day in Cameron Highlands, you could take a day trip to Ipoh and check out some of the cave temples around Ipoh .
1. Hiking in Cameron Highlands

The moderate climate and stunning views make hiking one of the most popular activities in Cameron Highlands.
There are a total of 14 hiking trails in Cameron Highlands, and each of them is conveniently numbered. Not all trails are created equal, and others such as Trail 9 is known to be overgrown and dangerous.
Personally, I would recommend Trail 10 combined with Trail 6 as the trail allows you to walk through some of the local farms and stunning tea plantations.
💪 Pro Tip: Make sure you install the mobile app maps.me before hiking and use their offline maps to avoid getting lost!
The trailhead starts right outside the town of Tanah Rata, so it is still accessible if you don’t have your own vehicle. The hike takes about 3.5 hours to complete. Just keep in mind you finish at Cameron Valley Tea House and you would need to take a taxi back to town!
Another popular trail in Cameron Highlands is Trail No.1 . Trail No.1 is a 3-hour hike that takes you up to the peak of Mount Brinchang , the second highest peak in Cameron Highlands.
The views from Mount Brinchang are said to be some of the best in Cameron Highlands, as you get a panoramic view of the lushness Cameron Highlands is known for.
If you enjoy hiking, you must check out Mount Kinabalu, Malaysia’s highest mountain, in Sabah !
2. Visit Mount Brinchang
![cameron highlands day tour from tanah rata Mount-Brinchang-Sightseeing-in-Cameron-Highlands](https://www.livingoutlau.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Mount-Brinchang-Sightseeing-in-Cameron-Highlands-min.webp)
As we have mentioned above, Mount Brinchang is the second tallest mountain in Cameron Highlands and offers unparalleled views of the surrounding area. Luckily for you, hiking is not the only way to get there.
Travelers can also take a taxi or drive up to Mount Brinchang. Because of the constant rain that Cameron Highlands receives, the road is not exactly in the best condition. To make matters worse, parts of the road are so narrow that only one car can fit through at once.
Many tour operators might even tell you it is impossible to reach without a 4×4. However, that is just not true. If you have a regular automobile, you will get there without a problem. If you have a motorcycle, it’s not impossible, but just a little tricky.
Is it worth the effort? Definitely YES!
3. Check out the Mossy Forest
![Mossy-Forest-Cameron-Highlands-min Mossy-Forest-Cameron-Highlands](https://www.livingoutlau.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Mossy-Forest-Cameron-Highlands-min.webp)
Due to the elevation of Cameron Highlands, low-level clouds constantly cover the area with mist and moisture. The result? A perfect environment for mosses ferns, lichens, and other plants to grow .
In fact, such a phenomenon has created one of the most interesting places in Cameron Highlands, the Mossy Forest.
Mossy Forest is located a short drive from Brinchang on the same narrow road. If you visit the Mossy Forest, you should also see Mount Brinchang and vice versa.
The entrance cost to the Mossy Forest is 30 RM for foreigners and 10 RM for locals. Once you are inside the Mossy Forest, you are limited to a ~250-meter boardwalk. Some travelers say the price is too steep for such a short visit. Whether or not the price is justified is up to you!
Getting Around Cameron Highlands
![Getting-Around-Cameron-Highlands-min Getting-Around-Cameron-Highlands](https://www.livingoutlau.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Getting-Around-Cameron-Highlands-min.webp)
One thing travelers must be aware of is how difficult it is to get around Cameron Highlands . Without your own vehicle, the only way to get from one attraction to another is by taxi. Some of these attractions are located very far apart from each other, so be prepared to spend quite a bit of money.
Taxis can be found at the Tanah Rata Bus Terminal , the location where your bus will drop you off if you are taking a bus. If you are planning to visit a ton of places in Cameron Highlands at once, try to rent a taxi by the hour. As always, don’t forget to negotiate!
If you are able to drive a scooter legally in Malaysia, renting a scooter in Cameron Highlands could be an option for you. There are several scooter rental places in Tanah Rata, and they are much more flexible than taking a taxi.
Half-day tours can also be found in many of the kiosks along the streets of Tanah Rata. If you only have 1 day in Cameron Highlands and would like to see as much as possible, taking a tour might not be a bad idea.
Best Time To Visit Cameron Highlands
![Best-Time-To-Visit-Cameron-Highlands-min Best-Time-To-Visit-Cameron-Highlands](https://www.livingoutlau.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Best-Time-To-Visit-Cameron-Highlands-min.webp)
When considering when is the best time to visit Cameron Highlands, you must think about what you are trying to accomplish .
Are you planning on doing some hiking in Cameron Highlands? Picking strawberries? Or do you just want to stay away from the crowd?
For hiking , you will want to pick the months that rain the least. Months like January, February, June, and July are the best months for hiking in Cameron Highlands because it rains less frequently.
However, June and July are months of summer vacation, so you will see huge crowds and tons of traffic. The months of October and November are known to be the peak of the rainy season.
If you want to go strawberry picking , May to August is considered the strawberry-picking season. Just remember to check with the strawberry farm because there could be minor discrepancies.
Temperature-wise , it is moderate all year round, though in the winter months (especially January and February) you might see some snow!

Touring Tanah Rata in the Cameron Highlands, Malaysia
The tiny town of Tanah Rata is the usual base for budget travelers wishing to explore Malaysia 's beautiful Cameron Highlands . With temperatures that dip as low as 50 F at night, Tanah Rata is a welcomed break from Southeast Asia 's heat and humidity.
Vivid, green tea plantations clinging to the surrounding hills and perpetually blooming flowers lend a sweet smell to the air. The tranquility of the scenery is contagious; the vibe in Tanah Rata is pleasantly relaxed and people are friendly. Jungle walks await the adventurous while strawberry farms and lush greenhouses entertain those wishing to stay closer to civilization.
Orientation
Tanah Rata is ridiculously compact – no map required. Life centers around one main vein passing through the town known as Jalan Besar, or the "Big Road". Small side streets are home to simple budget accommodation as well as pleasant cafes and outdoor eateries. The bus station is located on the very western edge of town.
Surprisingly, for a place that receives so many tourists, the official Tourist Information Office in Tanah Rata is closed permanently. The many signs around town offering "tourist information" belong to tour agencies hoping to sell a tour.
Accommodation
Accommodation in Tanah Rata is an excellent value - a handful of simple but comfortable budget operations offer cheap places to stay. Many of the budget places have TV rooms and landscaped patios filled with hanging flowers.
The nearby town of Brinchang also has a selection of hotels and resorts for your consideration. Its Chinatown-like feel tends to attract a more Malaysian and Singaporean family-friendly clientele; from Brinchang's small town center and its variety of shops, eating houses, and hotels, visitors can walk to neighboring farms and hiking trails with ease. The Pasar Malam (night market) is also a popular draw on weekends.
Touring Tea Plantations
The camellia sinensis plant - also known as the tea tree – is Tanah Rata's cash crop. Black, oolong, white, and green tea all come from the same leaves of the hardy plant but are processed differently to create the familiar teas that we love.
Touring the massive tea plantations is one of the most popular things to do in the Cameron Highlands. Your job at home won't seem so hard once you witness workers at the plantations climbing the hills with massive bags of tea leaves on their back.
You can enter and stroll around the peaceful tea plantations on your own for free; many plantations offer free tours of their processing facilities. To gain a deeper insight, tour guides with an excellent knowledge of the tea process can be hired in Tanah Rata.
- Sungai Palas Boh Tea Estate: Just 15 minutes north of Tanah Rata, this tea estate is possibly the most beautiful and easiest to visit. Take the hourly bus north toward Brinchang and get off at "The Junction" when you see the fruit stalls along the road. Tours are free.
- Cameron Bharat Tea Estate: A beautiful roadside overlook with a tea shop and outdoor cafe is the best reason to head south of Tanah Rata to this tea plantation. Take the bus south toward Ringlet and ask to exit at the "Scenic Viewpoint". The trails throughout the tea estate are very steep, consider visiting Sungai Palas Boh Tea Estate if you wish to stroll through the fields.
After viewing the tea plantations, drop by one of the Indian restaurants for a hot cup of teh tarik - a Malaysian specialty tea - to warm up.
The Cameron Highlands is crisscrossed with jungle trails , most of which converge near Tanah Rata or the neighboring town of Brinchang. Most of the trails aren't for the faint of heart - many are steep and poorly maintained.
Parit Falls and Robinson Falls are easily reached from town, however, both are lackluster. Guides are available for hire that can walk you up the various summits in the area. If you intend to tackle the trails on your own, the trekking maps sold around town are well worth the $1 price; many of the trailheads are difficult to find without help.
Sites Nearby
The road north of Tanah Rata is lined with pick-your-own strawberry greenhouses, bee farms, butterfly gardens, and souvenir stalls and other tacky tourist attractions. Popular options include sampling local-made honey, trying fresh-picked strawberry juice, and taking in the sweet smells inside the flower greenhouses.
You can make your own way north by bus and walk between the sites. Alternatively, tours are offered at guesthouses which include transportation.
![](http://playon.fun/777/templates/cheerup/res/banner1.gif)
Other Concerns
- Food: A string of side-by-side Indian restaurants on the main road serve delicious food on the covered sidewalk. A mostly-empty food court serving cheap eats dominates the center of town. Chinese steamboat and noodle cafes are dotted along Jalan Besar.
- Money: Two banks reside in Tanah Rata, each is equipped with an ATM.
- Shopping: Aside from a few sidewalk boutiques offering souvenirs or crafts, there isn't much in the way of shopping around Tanah Rata. Instead, head out of town to the tea plantations, bee farms, and strawberry greenhouses to find unique gifts.
Getting There
The only option for getting to Tanah Rata and the Cameron Highlands is by bus. Being a popular stop along the infamous backpacker's banana-pancake trail , Tanah Rata receives buses from as far away as Singapore! The last hour of the bus journey is a stomach-churning tangle of switchbacks and sharp curves as you wind higher into the hills.
- From Kuala Lumpur: About five hours by bus or minibus
- From Ipoh: About two hours by bus
- From Penang: Buses from Butterworth take around five hours

The distinctive blend of landscape and verdant tea plantations assured the fame of Cameron Highlands in Malaysia.

I recently revisited Cameron Highlands to see the changes in the past decade. And though now it is peppered by high-rise apartments buildings, strawberry and flower farms, it has retained much of its charm. Exploring Cameron Highlands is like unraveling a beehive of adventure. If you’re keen on visiting, here’s my latest Cameron Highlands itinerary blog for 3 days and 2 nights to help you plan your trip.

CAMERON HIGHLANDS TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS
![cameron highlands day tour from tanah rata cameron blog 2 copy](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52603706364_8c60efdfde_c.jpg)
Since Cameron Highlands is in Malaysia, its travel requirements is the same as the rest of the country. As of 2023, there’s no more travel requirements for Malaysia. So, whether you are vaccinated or not, you can enter Malaysia. Just make sure your passport must still be valid for at least, 6 months prior to your entry to Malaysia.
However, if you are coming from the Philippines and you’re a Philippine Passport holder, I highly recommend you book your hotel and tours in advance, book a return flight to the Philippines, just in case the Philippine Immigration Official (IO) asks you for these documents before your departure from the Philippines. You can book your hotels and tours through the mentioned links below.

If you’re wondering what’s the difference between KLIA Ekspress and KLIA Transit, well, KLIA Ekspress runs from KLIA to KL Sentral and links KLIA to KLIA2.

So, if you’re headed to BTS Station where the Terminal Bersepadu Selatan bus station is located, you need to take the KLIA Transit not the KLIA Ekspres.

![cameron highlands day tour from tanah rata cameron blog 12 copy](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52603960408_cc47f8031f_c.jpg)
A cheap way to get around Cameron Highlands is by joining a group tour. It’s a good option if you’re traveling alone or with a travel partner or you’re a small group (3-4 persons). Cameron Highlands tour costs around RM 50 (₱632/$11) to RM 75 (₱948/$17) for half day tours, and approximately RM 90 (₱1,138/$20) for whole day tour. You can find travel agencies in Tanah Rata, or book online in advance to secure a slot.
The RM 50 half day tour tour typically only includes Boh Plantation Tour and The Coral Hill (Mini Mossy Forest). The Coral Hill replaced the Mossy Forest Tour, which has been closed last year. It is a harder trek, but is manageable if you wear the proper outfit.
Meanwhile, the RM 75 half day tour usually includes the Boh Tea Plantation, The Coral Hill, the The Strawberry Farm and Insect Farm. You can book this in advance online to secure a slot. You will be joining other tourists in this group tour. The driver will serve as guide during the tour.
Whereas, the RM 90 whole day tour typically includes the Boh Tea Plantation, the Coral Hill (Mini Mossy Forest), the Strawberry Forest, the Bee Farm, the Flower Farm, and the Buddhist Temple. See more details below about the top tourist attractions in Cameron Highlands.

If you want to customize your Cameron Highlands Tour and you want to do it on your pace, you can hire a taxi to get you around Cameron Highlands and visit the top tourist attractions in the area. This is more expensive than joining a group tour, but you can pick the places that you wanted to visit. Taxi rate is usually RM 30 (₱379/$7) per hour, they are usually parked at Terminal Freesia.
If you have the energy and luxury of time, you can get around Cameron Highlands by foot. But be warned that this will take a lot of time since the tourist attractions are quite a distance from Tanah Rata and other tourist spots in Brinchang.

The main attraction in Cameron Highlands is the tea plantation, and the most popular estate here is the BOH Tea Plantation.
BOH Tea was founded by an Englishman named John Archibald “Archie” Russel. Sometime in the 1930’s, during the Great Depression, he decided to plant tea at Cameron Highlands along with the veteran Sri Lankan tea planter A.B Milne. In the 1950’s, BOH acquired the Sungei Tea Palas, and the then BOH chairman Tristan Russel turned it into a massive tea plantation. In 2007, the visitor center and the cafe overlooking the lush green tea estate was built. This place is arguably the most visited and most photographed place in Cameron Highlands because it is typically part of the Cameron Highlands package tour.

I visited a Buddhist Temple during my first visit in Cameron Highlands. But during my recent visit, I saw a bigger Buddist temple called Sam Poh Temple. I’m not sure if this is the same temple I saw before, but Sam Poh Temple is the usual temple included in the tour package now. It is located in on top of the hill with a view of Brinchang Town.

Cameron Highlands Itinerary
Here’s a 3 Days 3 Nights Cameron Highlands itinerary with expenses to help you plan your trip. You can do Cameron Highlands for 2 Days 3 nights itinerary if you will just do the half day tour, but it will be a jam-packed itinerary, and you have to check-out from your hotel the next day before you leave for your half day tour. I prefer a 3 days 2 night stay in Cameron Highlands because it doesn’t feel too rushed.
Anyway, the Cameron Highlands itinerary and expenses below doesn’t include the expenses for souvenirs, drinks, accommodations and flight to Kuala Lumpur.

- Bring jacket during your trip to Cameron Highlands as the temperature here is usually cold, just like in Baguio and Tagaytay. Bring umbrella too as it usually rains in the afternoon.
- Although most accommodations offer free Wi-Fi, while in Cameron Highlands or in Malaysia in general, it is best to stay online using a pocket wifi or data. You can buy Malaysian sim card in advance and top up at convenience stores.
MALAYSIAN SIMCARD: BUY HERE
SIMCARD FOR ASIA : BIUY HERE POCKET WIFI (ANYWHERE IN ASIA): RENT HERE
- If you plan on visiting the Coral Hill (Mossy Forest), wear the proper hiking outfit, Avoid white shoes and long pants as the trail can get muddy especially during the rainy season.
- Stack up Malaysian ringgit cash as most shops and restaurants accepts cash, but there are also a handful of ATM in town.
