| Brinchang Town, Cameron Highlands |
A little more than 130 miles north of Kuala Lumpur is the Cameron Highlands, an extensive hill station once favored by British colonials during the hot season. Development started shortly after the highlands were mapped in 1885, and these rolling, forested hills quickly became one of the finest getaways on peninsular Malaysia.
Tourists continue to come for an escape from life in the lowlands. Located on the Titiwangsa Range at about 1500 metres above sea-level, the temperature here can drop to 16 ˚C or lower at certain times. The cooler temperatures of the Cameron Highlands are ideal for growing tea, strawberries and roses, and there are beautiful gardens to explore here. Rustic hotels in the Cameron Highlands can arrange jungle walks and treks to local lookout points. Gunung Brinchang, the highest peak in the area, can be hiked with a guide or independently.
