Cameron Highlands has many places to visits. Here I ranked the top 5 must-visit places.

Green Tea Plantation

As the hallmark of fame, tea plantations are the main tourist attraction of Cameron Highlands. Tea plantations carpet the surrounding valleys in a fine layer of yellow green tea leaves, and most of them are open to tourists and visitors to purchase tea bags and watch the workers there plucking tea as well as enjoy a simmering hot cup of tea with scones. Tea was the reason why a British government surveyor, William Cameron saw potential and founded this valley, which eventually became Malaysia’s top highland holiday destination and Cameron Highlands was named after him.

Strawberry farm

Visit the strawberry park here will entail visitors not only to the opportunity to see how strawberries are cultivated but also offer the opportunity to purchase freshly picked strawberries with thick delicious fresh cream at affordable prices.

Cameron Highlands’s strawberries tend to be slightly smaller than those grown in Europe, probably due to a lack of long sunshine hours to promote growth, although they can be just as sweet and delicious. Always worth a visit for their strawberries and cream and other products such as strawberry shake and jam.

Waterfalls

1) Lata Iskandar

On the way from Tapah to the Cameron Highlands it is impossible to overlook the Iskandar Fall. Far before the fall is reached, the first parked cars and stalls appear.
The falls are visible from the road, and there is a big sign, welcoming the visitor to the Hutan Lipur Lata Iskandar. Souvenir shops, food stalls, don’t expect solitude here.

2)Parit Waterfalls

Parit Waterfalls and the trail leading there is really great for beginners in jungle trekking and those who just want a taste of light trekking while in Cameron itself! Its well-paved and easy on the feet. More like a walk in the park. The whole experience took us between 45 minutes to an hour. Also, entry to the Parit Waterfalls trail is so easily accessible, being just at the edge of Tanah Rata, the main town of Cameron.

3) Robinson Falls

Butterfly Farms

There are two butterfly farms in Camerons located next to each other. Depending on season, the farms can crawl with butterflies especially the magnificent Rajah Brooke.

The two places also have a collection of reptiles, insects and amphibians to show with shops selling ornamental plants and flowers.

Mount Batu Brinchang

Mount Batu Brinchang is the highest mountain in the Cameron Highlands area. It is situated at the Perak-Pahang border in Malaysia. It is one of the mountains in Malaysia where its summit can be reached by road. Due to easy accessibility, this mountain enjoys many visitors all year round.

……..Most well known in langkawi, Mahsuri Tomb………

Mahsuri was a beautiful young woman born in Langkawi of immigrants from Puckett late in the 18th century. She well-kown because her curse for the Langkawi. Mahsuri married a young man from her village, but after some time he went away on business (or to fight in a war) leaving Mahsuri home alone for a long time. At some point, a wandering minstrel (or storyteller) came along who captivated the whole village, including Mahsuri.

Having no place to stay, Mahsuri offered to allow the man to stay in her house. The village headman’s wife accused Mahsuri of adultery. Still smarting over her rejection, the headman condemned Mahsuri to death. Her veins supposedly spouted white blood — proof of her innocence — and she cursed the island to be barren for seven generations.

…….Gunung Mat Cincang – A Walk in the Clouds…….

The legendary Gunung Mat Cincang, Langkawi’s second highest peak was believed to have been once a being named Mat Cincang who turned himself into a mountain. Fables aside, today the mountain rises in a spectacular skyline of crags that glow pink in the sunset and is part of the Mat Cincang Range which comprises of some of the oldest rock formations in Malaysia, dated about 2,400 million years old.

……..Burnt Rice of Padang Mat Sirat………..
Expansionist designs of the invaders from the north had relegated Kampung Raja to ashes in 1821. The village rice granary was put to the torch in what was akin to ancient Langkawi’s scorched earth policy that was aimed at depriving the Siamese invaders of the grain.It was not long after this tragic episode that the Siamese attacked Langkawi, swiftly making their way to Kampung Raja to commandeer the rice stockpile. The invader’s ‘blitzkreig’ was to come to nought upon reaching the place as what was left was the smouldering mound of scorched rice.

So huge was the rice reserves at Kampung Raja that it took a long time for the fire to burn out. The remains of the scorched rice and Kampung Raja was soon buried under the ashes of time and the whole episode immortalised in the tragedy of Mahsuri.

………Langkawi Cabel Car……….

Also located inside the Oriental Village, the clear bubble shaped cable car takes the 2.2km ride up the mountainside on a 42 degree incline. Gunung Mat Cincang at 708 metres offers a spectacular view. Starting from about sea level, the Cable Car rises from about sea level to an altitude of over 700 metres. Along the near vertical lift, tourists are presented with the towering cliff face named ‘Matahari Face’.

To fully appreciate the stunning views, a lot has to do with the prevailing weather conditions, so if it is overcast or raining, it may be best to wait for a clearer day. There are two viewing stations and it is possible to get off and rejoin the cable car at station one. A walking trek from Station one, uphill to Station two has been carved through the vegetation allowing a refreshing walk through the forest.
