Overview

Cameron Highlands nestled atop the central mountain range of Titiwangsa with an elevation ranging between 800 to 1600 meters from the sea level, Cameron Highlands is the highest point in Peninsula Malaysia that can be accessed by road. Considered to be one of the few places in Malaysia that serve as a habitat for a wide variety of flora & fauna with more than 700 species of plants that grow here. Cameron Highlands is known as the tea-growing estate, vegetables farm & flower nurseries.

This one-day trip journey is made for travelers who have limited stay in Kuala Lumpur and want to explore attractions outside the city. The journey started quite early in the morning (0530hrs) and the whole duration with return trip would take approximately 12 hours.
It’s a full and packed itinerary and it is best to do it on weekdays (Tues-Thurs) to avoid the road and local tourist congestion on weekend/public holidays.
