This is Malaysia's green
bowl supplying vegetables to the major cities of the
country and to Singapore. The cool climate makes it an
excellent tea growing area and indeed the Cameron
tea is highly priced in the world market. Located 1,524
meters above sea level, it is a quiet hideaway with places of
interest such as the Robinson Falls, the Rose Gardens
nurseries and the vegetables farms. Other interesting
venues include an
18-hole golf course, boating lake, children's
playground, flower nurseries, horse riding facilities
and a waterfall. Found here are many trail and exotic
flora and it is also a well known paradise for bird
watchers.
The small town of Tapah at the foot
of Cameron Highlands is the gateway to the resort and
can be reached by bus, taxi or train from Kuala Lumpur.
From Tapah, regular bus and taxi services are available
to the highlands. Cheap accommodation facilities include old
English country inn-styled hotels, chalets and
Government resthouses. Special mention must be made of
the Ye Olde Smokehouse which has been preserved in the
same state as it used to be during the colonial period,
except for the addition of some modern conveniences.
