The Cameron Highlands

At 1,500 metres of altitude, perched in the mountains, lie the Cameron Highlands, a vast highland plateau and hill station established by the British in 1930.
The climate here has allowed tea cultivation to flourish, and it's here that you'll find some of the most renowned tea plantations — no doubt about it, you're in Asia.
This agricultural region has much to offer beyond tea, from strolls through the surrounding villages to visits to butterfly farms, strawberry plantations and beekeepers.
And you'll certainly appreciate the cool mountain air before heading back into the heat.
A distinctly British atmosphere also prevails here — there's no escaping “tea-time”, complete with scones.
For bird lovers, the region is home to magnificent species that are highly sought after for observation, and also offers countless opportunities for memorable treks.
