Cameron!! - Highlands

On the way to the hill....
Another one of Malaysia's sightseeing spots is cameron highlands.


Wonderful, exhiliarating, picturesque, scenic,outstanding.(Mrs. Fionna would have been proud..haha)

Anyways,

It was a 3 days two night trip there, journey to the top was real fun driving, its twists and turns with towering hills and cliffs on both sides. Bridges linking two hills together and some breathtaking heights that can make your head go "OoOoOoOoOooh!" No exagerration there!

Known for its suitable weather and climate for those fruits and vegetables you just wont see back at ground level. Mostly those raving juicy red strawberries.
You'll pass by numerous "farms" as they call it, filled with ready to pick scrumptious strawberries. Dont miss that opportunity!

Well what do you eat on this hillstation?

For starters, try out the local delights, such as tea and scones, a trademark beverage and fooditem left by the British during their rule here. Or if you do not enjoy 'a cup of tea', theres always roti canai, nasi lemak and everything else you usually have to fill that appetite. My favorite was the steamboat, dont leave cameron highlands without having their steamboat.

What else can you do here?

Well theres not much to do on a hill station if you are looking for action, suspense or thrill. But there is hiking, mountain climbing and some forest trails that you can try out. For those a little less adventurous, you can head on to the major tea factory/tea plantation known as BOH, located a little higher on the mountain. But its worth the trip, once you are there, you can spend almost half a day just enjoying the scenary and having a sip of your choice of tea on the patio they have built jutting out from the hill. You'll feel weightless and refreshed. SNAP!
Do come back to reality soon though...(as you'll be awfully close to the clouds!)

How to navigate around the hillstation?


Well coming from a person who couldnt get you to any place without consulting someone for directions, i would say this place is very easy to drive and navigate.

My advise - Read the signs!!

Well that sums up Cameron Highlands and dont forget to get some really cheap vegetables from the stalls here, if you're an avid grocery shopper you'd know the price difference.

Get some Cameronian Tea as a souvenir :p

All in all a nice trip..just drive slowly while coming down as this is the journey that can cause your head to go dizzy and you know what would happen next..
