Cameron Highlands Holiday Packages

Cameron Highlands Holiday Packages

Sitting 1,500 metres above sea level and nearly the size of Singapore, the Cameron Highlands is Malaysia's largest hill station. Offering cool weather and lush natural landscapes, Cameron Highlands holiday packages are the perfect escape for those craving a breath of fresh air and a pot of its famous tea.

Things to Do in the Cameron Highlands

With 712 square km to explore, you'll snag one of Wotif’s Cameron Highlands car hire deals to make sure you can get from place to place. Begin your expedition with a drive to the area's highest point, Gunung Brinchang. The observation tower at its peak reveals alpine views extending into neighbouring Perak. After you've soaked up the vistas, take the boardwalk through the Mossy Forest. Give yourself substantial time to get lost amongst the centuries-old trees of this moss-floored reserve, and breathe in the sweet, misty air that often drapes around them.

Cameron Highlands holidays are a nature lover's dream, with trekking opportunities around every mountain curve. These are often punctuated by rushing cascades, including the Parit Waterfall and Robinson Waterfall, both near the town of Tanah Rata. For a unique natural experience, take a guided tour into Blue Valley to find the Rafflesia Flower, the largest flower in the world.

Are you interested in checking out the local farms, ranches or growing areas of any place you visit? We have a name for you: You’re an agritourist! In case you hadn’t heard, agritourism is a central part of Cameron Highlands holiday. Stop at a tea plantation for fresh-brewed tastings and tours. You'll also find honeybee farms, rose centres, butterfly gardens and lavender fields to explore. For a sweet afternoon, seek out a strawberry farm and stuff your face with berries you pick yourself.

Shopping, Dining, Nightlife

Cameron Highlands packages offer fertile shopping for foodies. For teas, fruits, strawberry jam, honey, perennial flowers, cacti and a cornucopia of other local products, visit the Multicrops Central Market, the Kea Farm Open Air Market or any of the area's vegetable farms. Souvenir seekers should visit the butterfly parks for shops featuring handicrafts and clothing.

Food fresh off the farm also plays a central role in the region's signature dish, the steamboat. Restaurants offering this dining experience abound in the hills, serving up pots of boiling soup in which you can cook your own meat, seafood and vegetables. For those of you who don’t really want to cook for yourselves on your holiday, the less wholesome but equally delicious smorgasbord will save the day at the local food markets. Sample deep-fried seafood, straw mushrooms, spiced chicken and sweet potato balls. If you can’t bear to let your diet go to waste, steamed local sweet potatoes offer a nod to healthy choices.

In Brinchang, the market is also the main nightlife, with colourful nightly shindigs setting a festive scene on weekends and throughout the holiday season. Tanah Rata is the place to go for parties, with locals and tourists alike descending on its singular street.
