No trip to Cameron Highlands is complete without a trip to the BOH Tea Plantations in Sungai Palas. This is one of the main attraction that's got to be in your "must see" list. You can visit the factories to learn about the tea making process and you can also sit down and enjoy a cup of tea at the cafe. The view overlooking the plantations is beautiful and perfect for the picture album.
Strawberry farms can be found almost everywhere in Cameron Highlands. All offer locally grown strawberries and home made strawberry jams and at a very cheap price. Some strawberry farms will let you pluck your own strawberries and charge you according to the weight.
The Cameron Highlands are the largest of the hill resorts in Malaysia. It's located in Pahang's north-western corner, at an altitude of 1,829 meters.
The Cameron Highlands were discovered by William Cameron in 1885. In these days the British planters realized that those mountains were very fertile. Because tea was prized commodity among the colonies, they decided to grow tea on the slopes of the Cameron Highlands.
British families who were stationed in Malaysia at the time also took to hills in a respite from the hot, humid tin mines and rubber plantations. Some of the old bungalows, which they left behind are still being preserved for viewing by tourist, with a few facilities added for the conveniences of visitors. So, much of the character of the Cameron Highlands has remained unchanged since colonial times. Since that time the Cameron Highlands has developed into a favored getaway among honeymooning couples. The cool, fresh air on the highlands is also a retreat for city dwellers who want to retreat temporarily from the noise and pollution in the city.
The drive time from Kuala Lumpur is about three and a half hours. It is a 295 km drive.
The tour is leaving around 7:30 a.m. and include visits to a tea plantation, where you see the tea-making process; a strawberry farm; a butterfly farm, visit to a local market.
