Cameron Highlands

Cameron Highland, Malaysia's premier hill resort is located on the Main Range of Peninsular Malaysia. At 1,829 meters above sea level, Cameron Highland is the largest of all Malaysian Hill resort and has a temperature ranging from 16 degrees to 24 degrees Celcius. Much of its appeal lies in the neat sprawling tea plantations that date back to 1929, as well as the terraced flower farms, strawberry farms, and vegetable garden.

Cameron Highlands consists of a series of little towns that include Ringlet, Tanah Rata, Brinchang, Tringkap, Kuala Terla, and Kampung Raja. The total population is approximately 30,000, the majority of whom are employed in agriculture and the leisure industry. The best tourist amenities can be found around Tanah Rata, the administrative center of the highland, but Brinchang is fast catching up with a number of hotels, serviced apartments, and restaurants.
