Cameron Highlands is a hill station located approximately 1.5 hours\u2019 drive away from Ipoh<\/a> (or 3 hours\u2019 from KL). It is a perfect getaway from the heat of Ipoh. What is better than chilly weather? Fresh fruits, vegetable and flowers! What else can we ask for?<\/p>\n

DAY 1<\/strong><\/span>
\nWe checked in our hotel at Brinchang around 1pm. Why did we choose Brinchang? It is convenient and that is where pasar malam located! Trade off? You have to give up the views, practically shop houses view here. Side note, don\u2019t be surprised if you are unable to find air con in your hotel room, you need a blanket more than air con in Cameron Highland.<\/p>\n

After you check in, drive to…<\/p>\n

Cameron Valley Tea House and Farm<\/a><\/strong>

\"Cameron
\nInstagrammer alert! Perhaps the best view of all the plantations in Cameron Highland!<\/p>\n

Serene, breezy, refreshing and easily accessible, a perfect place to unwind after a long drive. It is right next to a tea plantation situated in the valley. Savor a cup of tea served with mesmerizing views and peacefulness. There are many types of locally grown highland tea available, from common Earl Grey to the interesting fruit infused tea.Teas range from about RM4.00 – 6.00, not massively overpriced considering the gorgeous location. More importantly, it is much less crowded compare to the famous BOH Tea plantation (their marketing team did a great job).<\/p>\n

Bored of sitting in the tea house? Take a stroll at tea farm for fresh air and more photos!<\/p>\n

After drinking tea, go to…<\/p>\n

Night market, Brinchang Pasar Malam
\nAlong main road of Brinchang (weekend only)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"BrinchangTaken from Mazooq<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

The temperature in the highland is definitely much lower at night and most would wear sweaters to keep warm. But who needs a sweater when you are surrounded by hot delicious food?!<\/p>\n

As usual, you can find loads of strawberry soft toys. Omit that, proceed to the hot food section. There are loads of fresh vegetables and fried food. My must try is the raw honey, freshly cut from the beehives. It is so sweet that it can bring you to heaven and come back to earth. The trip to heaven and earth only costs you RM3.00 per piece.

DAY 2<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We started driving downhill after we had our breakfast. The road trip is rather straight forward, drive along the main road head to Ipoh. All the farms are along the main road.<\/p>\n

Our first stop was…<\/p>\n

\n

Kok Lim Strawberry Farm<\/strong>
\n UT\/MR F-255, Cameron Highland, 39100 Brinchang, Malaysia<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"KokLocated along the main road, next to the time tunnel, Kok Lim Farm is one of the bigger and better managed farm in my opinion.<\/p>\n

The price across all strawberry farms is rather similar, RM30 for 500gm or RM50 for 1kg. But we were not allowed to taste as we went around the farm. However, it is rumored that the strawberries are sweeter here! It only takes you a few minutes to fill your punnet, but it’s a good experience and it tastes better when you get to pick your own! There are strawberry jams, shakes and ice cream for sale here too.\"Cameron<\/p>\n

Cameron Highlands Cactus Point
\n39100 Brinchang, Cameron Highlands
\n8am-6pm
\nT: + 60 5 4914180 \/ +60 192550068<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"CameronA medium size retail nursery located by the main road (yes! We only go to those accessible farms by the main road) with large quantity of specimens. Free entry, high five! All sorts of cactus can be found here, tall, short, fleshy, thin, you name it and they probably have it. My favourite plant is \u201cHen and Chicks\u201d or scientifically name Echeveria.<\/p>\n

\n

Open Air Market @ Kea Farm
\nBeside Copthorne Hotel<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"OpenHeirloom carrots<\/em><\/p>\n

An open market located beside Copthorne Hotel (formerly known as Equatorial Hotel). A word of advice: traffic here could be as nasty as CTE as all the drivers park along the road. Traders and farmers selling the best of their crops and goods here from morning till evening, including cooked food, vegetables, strawberries, flowers, souvenirs, honey and more. Shop-like-a-local tips: try go deeper into the market, those selling at outside (along main road) tend to be more expensive. Check your price along the way. Advice number two, do not buy any honey below RM50\/bottle, likely to be counterfeit honey from Indonesia.<\/p>\n

\"KeaHave you seen sea coconut before?<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Rose Valley<\/strong>
\n 148 Tringkap, Cameron Highlands, 39000 Pahang
\n8am-6pm
\nT: +60 5 4961620 \/4961491<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"CameronHighly recommended to pay this rose plantation a visit. Most instagrammable place of Cameron Highland! Entry fee of RM5 is definitely worth it with a wide range of rose species as well as carnation, hibiscus, dandelion, lavender, just name it. There are peacocks and loads of koi in the garden as well. Plethora of lovely things in the garden to admire, too limited time!<\/p>\n

Cameron Lavender Garden<\/a>
\nTringkap, Cameron Highlands, 39100 Pahang, Malaysia<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"cameronEntry fee of RM6 for adult and RM4 for children. Yes, there are loads of lavender but near the entrance only, disappointed! Deeper at the back are mostly gerbera, daisies, morning glory and etc. However, it is undeniable that the flowers are nice, especially Lavender. It is a beautiful place. Will I go again? Nope.<\/p>\n
