Visitor Guide To Malaysia: Malaysia Hotels, Malaysian, Travel

First discovered by a British surveyor William Cameron, in 1885, the fertile slopes of Cameron Highlands rising over 1,800 metres above sea level were favoured for growing tea, a prized commodity among the colonies at that time. It is now the largest refreshing cool hill resort in Malaysia. It features the cool Robinson Falls, radiant Rose Gardens, fresh vegetable farms, glorious strawberry and honeybee farms as well as the famous Boh Tea plantations. Long walks and trekking, spotting unique species of flora and fauna along the way are favoured activities. The more energetic can enjoy hikes up Gunung Brinchang, Gunung Beremban and Gunung Jasar. There is even an 18-hole golf course here. With accommodation choices ranging from elegant English-styled resorts, cosy inns, pretty chalets and comfortable rest houses Cameron Highlands is the perfect cool getaway from the complexities of urban living.
