From north to south, the Cameron Highlands roughly encompass Tringkap, Brinchang, Tanah Rata, Ringlet and their surrounds. Though technically in the state of Pahang, they are accessed from Perak. Named after explorer Sir William Cameron, who mapped the area in 1885, the highlands were developed during the British colonial period. Gardens, bungalows and even a golf course sprang up during the 1930s, making the Cameron Highlands a refuge for heat-addled Brits to mop their brows. With temperatures rarely dropping below 10°C or rising above 21°C, this is the coolest region of Malaysia, and a wonderful break from the tropical Malaysian climate.
Escape to a cool, picturesque getaway! Situated at an elevation of 1,524 m above sea level, this refreshing retreat is characterised by undulating valleys, sprawling tea plantations, terraced flower gardens and vegetable farms. This is the largest hill resort in Malaysia. The main towns are Ringlet (situated at the base), Tanah Rata (the administrative centre with the most number of chalets and backpackers’ inns) as well as Brinchang (situated further up, with major hotels and restaurants). Cameron Highlands is accessible via Tapah in Perak , Gua Musang in Kelantan or Sungai Koyan/Pos Betau in Pahang (new route via Raub).
