Cameron Highlands is one of Malaysia's most popular holiday destinations, situated high above the clouds on a nest of serene mountains. Located in the center of a vast mountain range that cuts across Peninsula Malaysia, the Camerons offer visitors a chance to spend their vacation in this cool lush landscaped environment.This beautiful place provides a welcome retreat from the madness of city living and heat of the tropics.
Hi Folks!

Self Potrait
Hi, its me again...Peterpatterpot.
Set on this short road trip, a local one-day getaway from the city of Kuala Lumpur. With my 2 best friends, we got our wheels rolling real early in the morning, before sunrise... just to let you know this is a very extremely unusual behavior of my 2 friends to wake up so early. ...Camerons must be special !
Cameron Highlands was named after and discovered in 1885 by an Englishman William Cameron during a survey operation in the Titiwangsa Mountain Range. The British colonists recognised its potential for growing tea, a precious commodity then.
Over time, townships began to sprout around the Highlands as the tea plantations grew. Today it is a popular tourist destination to visit on holiday due to its cooling atmosphere and serene environment and its picturesque scenery.
In terms of culture, the Chinese makes up the largest community in Cameron Highlands, running most of the businesses and plantations in the valley.
121km east of Ipoh and 214km north of Kuala Lumpur, sitting at 1500masl, it is the highest area on the mainland.
It would seem easier to choose the Simpang Pulai road. However coming from KL, you need additional 20mins drive from Tapah to the Simpang Pulai exit. Slightly longer time but worth the scenic view of the valley and mountain ranges as you drive up to Blue Valley. At this junction, turn right, down towards Kampong Raja and down to Tanah Rata. At Blue Valley junction, if venture straight across, one would eventually come out at Gua Musang on the east coast. From Kampong Raja down, endless vege farms and strawberry farms spread out over the undulating highlands. Kea Farm is a very popular market where you can get everything from freshly picked corn to strawberries and honey!
Tapah road is more winding and narrow but reaches the southern towns of Camerons ie Ringlet and Tanah Rata in an hour or less fr Kuala Lumpur.
so begins another adventure of Peterpatterpot...
