Cameron Highlands is a perfect
getaway for those who wish to retreat into the
highlands to enjoy the cool fresh mountain air
and the green hills. Named after the British
Surveyor, William Cameron who discovered the
place in 1855, the tea cultivated is among one
of the best in the Country. Those who wish to
do some activities, can trek in the forest to
the waterfall, enjoy drinking tea in quaint
English style tea houses or take a 4 wheel drive
to the top of the mountain for a breathtaking
view of the hills. You can also visit the many
flower plantations, as exporting flowers is
an increasingly important economic activity.
ABF. This fascinating tour will cover
most of the highlights of the highlands. We
will begin by cruising through the “green
carpet” of BOH plantation – the
pioneer of tea growers in Malaysia. Founded
in 1929 by John Archibald Russell, a Scottish,
this vast estate is still owned and managed
by the family till today. After the guided tour
to the factory, we will sample various type
of tea in the beautiful landscaped tea house.
After the refreshing tea break, our next visit
will be the flower and vegetable farming. From
the farm we will proceed to visit the villages
of our highlands natives – the Semais.
Explore the forests of the highlands. This short
trek will lead us to the small waterfall where
we will have a short dip and a break for lunch.
The return journey will take us to a day market
where most of the local produce can be found.
