What Cameron Highlands Is Really Like In Malaysia (WATCH BEFORE GOING)

We heard a lot about Cameron Highlands in Malaysia from locals and tourists saying it was a must visit place in Malaysia... popular for the mountains and nature, tea plantations, strawberry farms, European style countryside and Instagrammable spots. It's about time we visit Cameron Highlands for ourselves to find out what it's really like here and what to expect if you're coming for the first time. If you're a traveller or tourist wondering what the accommodation, food, transport and prices are like here in Cameron Highlands and want the ultimate guide for your next trip, make sure you watch this before going.

The taxi drivers recommendation of the Mossey Forest is a gd one. Its one of the oldest forest in the world .

Well, the taxi driver was right. Mossy Forest more fun to explore for me. Its like you going to another world.

[@ashmugga2449]

Okay. The hitchhike was everything. And the weather is rejuvenating, especially these days away from the lower ground. It's all about meeting other travellers here! There is a very long backpakers history here and it's legendary. Really. And you're on top of mountains! I could stay for weeks there sleeping in my car!

[@fabianwylie8707]

Hi You two , ok firstly I am British and have lived in Malaysia for 8 years , Cameron highlands I have visited countless time, actually the best accommodation is actually in Brinchang !. kFC , MC Donald’s fast foods ifneeded l, A fabulous shopping complex that has recently been built in Brinchang, some great pubs there !. Also it’s nearer the Mossy Forest 🌳, near to the trail 1 for hikers . You can walk to all within a hour , getting around cameron and other villages to explore, You can hire a motorcycle or even get a bicycle, a lot more fun than a taxi and being trapped in ridiculous Jams. The best tea plantation is BOH Team farm opposite the nova hotel is the entrance, there’s a museum about the origins of the tea plantation 🇬🇧.

Guys.. the taxi driver was right. Maybe a bit too pricey.. but he was right about the places to visit and things to do.

[@pkwanchua]

Exactly. For not listening to the advice of the taxi driver, you ended up in a crappy copycat version of the legendary British BOH TEA plantation with literally nothing exciting to see. Penny wise, pound foolish ?

[@AbdGhani-ux5jj]

I enjoyed your video, but I think both of you missed a lot more attractions there such as Strawberry farms (A lot of strawberry farms to choose from), Animal Sanctuaries, Centrum Mall, Night Market, Night View at Tanah Rata, Kampung Taman Sedia. If you are on a budget you could rent a Mountain Bike to move around(provided at a few locations), it would be fun. Give it another try, you will enjoy.

[@muhammadhafizan333]

taxi driver so right about mossy forest . should add to your trip list next time

[@raymondng18]

Yes we local will drive own own car up CH, easier to get around. Lucky you guys managed to hitch to get back to tanah rata

[@pendambahidayah4712]

Nicely done guys...but please don't simply eat any fruits from any plants especially weed-type plants here because some berries are poisonous, so better ask any locals there to confirm the edibility of anything that looks like a fruit. Or to be safe, if you see that the locals don't eat it, best to avoid it, ok? 😊 It really worries me to see you eating that berry but i think if you're just trying it, guess it's ok. Tropical vegetation always offer us many plants that produces tempting fruits but most of it are poisonous in nature. So please beware of it ok guys. Anyways, love the effort to share your experience there. Keep producing more contents yea and wishing you an abundance profit and joy 😊

[@blackpinkishinyourarea8973]

My suggestion, if u guys are going to cameron without kids, pls rent a motorcycle there. Trust me so interesting and easy to go here and there . 😊

Cameron Highlands tips: 1) Try to avoid the weekends, as the road traffic is pretty bad as many locals would be visiting 2) Strawberries are seasonal, but they are available whole year round at Cameron Highlands. Having said that, some months they are sourish, some months they are sweet. But it is always great to support the farmers at farmers market. 3) Engage a local guide for a half day or full day tour, they are pretty good. They can explain how tea is grown, they can guide you through mossy forest and bring you hiking as well. Many of the guides actually work as nature and historical conservatist. 4) Cameron Highlands due to its cool weather used to the place British ppl go to to escape the Malaysian heat. There are a couple of places you can go for ‘traditional’ scones and tea like the Smokehouse, for the old British experience. 5) Yup, local public transport is not that great. So it’s best to engage a local guide who drives a Land Rover (that’s the most popular car at Cameron Highlands). The convenience, the local knowledge… it’s worth the price and hassle exploring Cameron Highlands

[@mop6279]

Thanks for the advice. I assume you'd find the guides around the town centre? Am planning a day trip with the kids.

I rested with my family for 4 days in conjunction with Eid al-Fitr recently. I stayed in Brinchang because it was close to tourist locations. I just passed by outside Bharat Tea Farm but to Boh Teh farm and there is a quite interesting cafe. I enjoy nasi lemak with rendang. In Brinchang there is a sheep and alpaca breeding center. Night market every Saturday and Sunday at Golden Hill. I enjoyed baked corn and sweet potato wedges. There is a few food court. There is also a modern mall. You should try their ice cream too. There are other options for those who like to climb mountains enjoying the flora and fauna of tropical forests. Actually in Cameron Highland there is a vlogger's video that I saw renting motorbikes.

[@fabianwylie8707]

Actually your spot on , I am British and know that Brinchang is by way the better location on Cameron Highlands, one you are better at least to going out by car back down the mountain, heading to Ipoh , simply as the Jams are crazy , heading away from Tana Rata , sightseeing is so much better in Brinchang 👍

Hi, thanks a lot We didn't notice any extra charge when we were there, but it could be hidden in the price. Food is a little more than other places in Malaysia but if you're not on a tight budget it won't make much of a difference. Accomodation is cheaper though
