Cameron Highlands is a sublime and scenic hill station located in the Pahang state of Malaysia, established by British surveyor William Cameron in 1885. Situated at an altitude of approximately 1,100 meters to 1,600 meters above sea level, it is the highest region on the mainland, enjoying a cooler climate compared to the humid lowlands. This area is renowned for its extensive tea plantations, verdant landscapes, majestic mountains, and lush forests. The temperature, combined with high altitude, contributes to the cultivation of unique horticultural species, including roses, strawberries, and other temperate crops. Visitors can indulge in activities like visiting farms, exploring tea factories, hiking through trails, and relishing the serene ambiance of the mossy rainforeths. Additionally, the region's rich biodiversity includes several conservation areas such as the Mossy Forest and Mount Brinchang. The architecture reflects a colonial heritage with Tudor-style houses adding to the quaint charm of the highlands. Cameron Highlands serves as a perfect getaway with its tranquil villages like Tanah Rata and Brinchang, offering a refreshing retreat from the bustling city life.
