The Hills Are Alive With the Sound of Birds!!!
#naturalbeauty #100waysoftravel
The rolling hills of Cameron Highlands, visible from the Boh Tea Center, offer a breathtaking and serene landscape that’s a true feast for the eyes. The lush, green hills undulate gracefully in the distance, creating a picturesque tapestry that’s both calming and invigorating. The tea center, perched high among the hills, provides a perfect vantage point to appreciate this stunning panorama. It's an ideal spot for relaxation and reflection, with the expansive views adding a sense of grandeur to the otherwise peaceful experience.

Cold Serene Cameron Highlands
#weekendgetaways
During one of the weekends, I had the chance to scale the cold Cameron Highlands in Pahang. Wow, I love the weather and environment up here. The tourists fill up the place since morning.
Of course Cameron is popular with the abundance of tea plantation around the place. Strawberry is also popular here.
We had a two hour tour up there and enjoyed visiting the vegetable farm as well.

British cottage
Stayed at this gorgeous British cottage called Bala’s Holiday Chalet in Cameron Highland, the ambience is amazing and feels like you’re somewhere in English countryside. This place is a former British boarding school during the colonial period and then was bought by Mr. Bala. If you want to experience the English countryside without going to England, so don’t miss out this beautiful place.
The price is not expensive, it’s not far from the only bus terminal in Cameron highland and their scones are the best.#cameronhighland #Balasholidaychalet

Cameron during weekdays
#staycation #couplestrip
a short trip to Cemeron on weekdays for my not so honeymoon trip. from ipoh straight to cameron. road was clear as it’s weekdays. really like it. then went to the viral steamboat and cheese. the variety of food is so so. maybe we went to second branch. before that we check in the Century Pines. the check in okay but the hotel didn’t charge i ask for late checkout 1pm. the breakfast not that variety. thinking that they will put more strawberries and vegetables but they’re not. the sambal was sooo spicy. but the location was good. we got take a good walk after breakfast to the near park there. then we went to sheep sanctuary. nice and lots of sheep. we also try the viral cheese cake. for me the mango cake is the winner. wanted to have a tea but my mistake wrongly waze the location. overall the weekdays is a very good time to go visit cameron. you don’t have to q or stand with crowded people. i like 👍🏽

Mossy Forest..Nature preserve in Brinchang
The Mossy Forest was definitely the highlight of my Cameron Highlands day tour.
Way up is not that bad, just a little narrow and steep. A normal car is able to be driven up but parking space is limited. It is a beautiful, missty and mossy forest. This is a great place for a walk and enjoy nature.
Stunning views and places to sit along the boardwalk. Definitely worth a visit! #forestwalk #naturevibes #greatviews #jungletraking #TriptoCameron

CAMERON HIGHLANDS TRIP 🍓
I enjoy returning to Cameron Highlands time and time again. Unlike the hot temperature in Malaysia, the weather is comfortable for walking. A variety of fresh fruits and vegetables are also available.
I went to the Cameron Valley Tea House. The tea plantation is accessible by foot. Definitely enjoy the beautiful green scenery! 🍃
Then I went to a sheep sanctuary, where all the sheep are amiable and groomed. They also have alpaca and you may feed them! Such adorable creatures 🦙
Next, before going back I stopped at Lata Iskandar waterfall. A remarkable sense of calm is created by the pure water and cool temperature. Give your feet a rest ✨

In Malaysia, there are "hidden gems" worth exploring!
1. Explore the tropical rainforest with a history of 130 million years. Bukit Lawang National Park is a paradise for nature lovers! Whether you are looking for a leisurely vacation or an adventurous thrill, this place can meet your needs. Get ready to explore the secrets of the jungle and be surrounded by the tranquility of nature. Get ready to uncover the mysteries of the jungle, surrounded by the calm and tranquility of nature, and spend the night in a beautiful eco-resort, tent or even on a boat!
2. Rompin is located by the sea, surrounded by dense tropical rainforest, and is an area in Pahang adorned with natural gems. If you want to explore the rarely visited trails, plan an adventure here, from gushing waterfalls to indigenous villages, beaches, fresh seafood, and the picturesque clear blue lake of Bukit Ibam (Tasik Biru), there are many places worth seeing! Rompin's Tasik Biru, also known as Blue Lake, is believed to have obtained its mysterious color due to a chemical reaction between rocks and soil.
3. In addition to the vast tea gardens and strawberry farms, the Cameron Highlands have more hidden gems waiting for you to explore. One of these gems is enchanting! It is a very beautiful forest hidden in the highlands of the second highest peak, Mount Biulan Zhang, in the Cameron Highlands. The mist shrouds a mysterious halo, and the mossy forest is located at an altitude of 2,032 meters, ranked fifth in the world's best forest IG check-in list by "Lonely Planet".
4. Semporna is located on the east coast of Sabah and can be said to be a real paradise on earth. This small town is a gateway to the dream island! Semporna is composed of a series of beautiful islands, just like its name means "perfect" in Malay. Take a speedboat and head to the islands with turquoise waters, beaches, and some of the most beautiful diving spots in the world.
5. Pulau Sembilan is a group of islands near the coast of Perak, and can only be accessed by joining a local tour after registration. Due to over-visitation and damage, these islands have not been open to the public for many years, but now it has been announced that they will soon be reopened. Be sure to add it to your future travel list! Pulau Sembilan is very popular, and visitors can see the dreamlike scenery here, as well as other unique marine creatures such as adolescent bamboo sharks, seahorses, butterfly fish, tuna, coral reefs, and more.
6. Kenyir Lake is one of the largest man-made lakes in Southeast Asia, home to over 300 (mostly uninhabited) islands, waterfalls, caves, and wildlife. You can stay on a boat here and participate in various exciting activities such as kayaking, canoeing, white-water rafting, jungle trekking, cave exploration, and fishing, so there's no need to worry about being bored. For those who want to experience something different, it is recommended to book a houseboat - just imagine waking up to peaceful scenery, tropical rainforest, and calm waters!

Cameron Highland, expensive getaway
#2023TravelWish #vianasjourney
Cameron is no doubt is a beautiful place, fresh air, cool breeze and warm sunlight sure can take away that stress you get from hectic city life. But as a tourist with no personal transportation, its a little bit expensive to move around. As far as I know, no public transportation available that can bring you to attractions around. There’s a taxi but they charge you hourly and you have minimum hour you can take with them. Per hour they charge RM30 with minimum 3 hours. To visit at least 3 attractions within that time is really impossible. Half day package are very limited and I couldnt get any slot for 3 people.

BOH, Big red & Raju’s Hill Strawberry Farm
Spending our first day at Big red Strawberry Farm but they didn’t have self pickup strawberry so we decided to visit Raju’s Hill strawberry farm the next day. Half basket cost RM40 and strawberry are mostly in medium- small size. Next location was BOH Sungai Palas Tea Centre, View are spectacular from the cafe, warm pastries are available and there’s a shop that sell plenty of tea products.

Wintry landscape in Malaysia
The Cameron Highlands is the largest tea producing area in the whole of Malaysia! BOH Tea Plantation, meaning ‘best of highlands’, is one of the most famous and largest tea plantations in Southeast Asia. The 8,000-acre plantation was founded in 1929 by a British businessman named J.A.Russell. Walk between the tea hedges, along the walking route, and take part in the tour of the tea factory. Finally, get a delicious cup of tea from the teahouse overlooking the plantation. Beautiful!#awesomepic #mytripvlog #2023travelwish #malaysia

Tea, Strawberry and Cameron Highlands Charms
Getting to Cameron Highlands is rather easy nowadays. Whether you are taking northen road of Simpang Pulai or going through Tapah, one have to be careful of the slithering roads. Personally I enjoyed the Tapah toad more as there are more activities and villages that you will passed through (plus a waterfall area- Lata Iskandar). There are many attractions to explore for all types of travellers: abundance nature trails, tea, strawberry and flora plantations and lots of activities for the little one too. Local cuisine that a must including enjoy locally grown tea with homemade scones (with jam from strawberries grown here), and variety of artisan cuisine using their signature produce: Strawberry! You will never be exhaust with the choice of food to try and the chilling weather make you feel hungry all day long! One tip though, avoid peak season ( school holiday, long weekend) or you'll be spending most of your time stuck in the traffic. #cameronhighlands #malaysia #foodie #valentinescape #resort

Agrarian Delights of Cameron Highlands Market
The Cameron Highlands market is a local marketplace known for its fresh produce, including vegetables, fruits, and flowers, as well as local handicrafts and souvenirs. The market is a popular destination for tourists visiting the area and provides an opportunity to experience local culture and buy products directly from the producers. The highland climate and fertile soil makes it a suitable location for growing crops such as strawberries, vegetables and sweet corn. I highly recommend you to try the locally grown sweet corn, which is known for its sweet and juicy taste.

Cameron Highlands
The Cameron Highlands is a district in Pahang, Malaysia, occupying an area of 712.18 square kilometres. To the north, its boundary touches that of Kelantan; to the west, it shares part of its border with Perak. Cameron Highlands is a collection of peaceful townships, perched almost 2000 meters above sea level, on a nest of serene mountains. Cooling resorts, tea plantations and strawberry farms sprawl lazily across lush valleys and meandering hillslopes, the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday. #awesomepic #touristattractions #mountainview

My first time in Cameron and totally dont expect the coldness ! The fogginess was unexpected too. Loving the great nature ambience with a lot of things to explore. Tea plantation is a must visit. Strawberry picking was an experience not to be missed. Night market and Kea Farm were among the best markets from the locals. Definitely to repeat my stay in Cameron Highland !#mytripvlog #awesomepic

Get pretty @ the Cameron Highlands Flora Park
Went explore the Flora Park @ Cameron Highlands and I didn’t regret at all!
After the enter the park, you’ll be welcomed by beds of flowers, but do not think that that’s all you’ll see. We initially thought that we will only need about an hour to finish the park, but it is actually bigger than we thought it might be.
There are some F&B there, but we didn’t try them. In total, we spent about 2 to 2.5 hours there.
Attraction: Cameron Highlands Flora Park
Entrance fee: RM50/pax
Operating hours: 9am to 6pm
Some things you need to take note:
1) You need to get to the Flora Park Parking area for their vehicle to bring you up to the Flora Park itself.
2) Be prepared to do quite of walking (and stairs) if you plan to finish the whole park.

📍Cameron Highland Flora Park
What an amazing experience! I feel like I'm home when i was here. One of my favourite place to be at. I literally can spend the whole day here,with all the gorgeous and beautiful flowers. The scenery, the numerous types of flora will keep your jaw dropping, amazed on how beautiful it can be! And the whole place is clean too. Such a great place for ootd. The park is so spacious and there are indoor and outdoor park. There are many staircases so you need to walk and climb a bit. You'll have to pay RM50 for entrance and shuttle service. Make sure you search in Waze Cameron Highlands Flora Park Parking, you have to take their shuttle to go here because you can't drive up on your own. Otherwise you'll have to reverse your way out in a narrow alley! I can assure you that the rm50 you paid is totally worth spending! I love every moment I spent here. Words are not enough to describe how great is this place is. Definitely an amazing experience that I will remember when look back recalling my Cameron Highlands trip!

a wonderful tour around the best of Malaysia
my journey to explore Malaysia starts from the capital of Kuala Lumpur, a city where modern and tradition are beautifully together to show the long life of this country.
Than Batu Caves scared Hindu place, followed by Melaka city, with the old unesco city.
Cameron Highlands, with its beautiful forest and tea plantations, the best place to escape during the hot summer!
Penang Island and Georgetown with its beautiful unesco old town.
Finally a wonderful relax time at Langkawi archipelago, a popular beach destination.
