Cooling Off in the Cameron Highlands: Tea Plantations & Misty Trails

If Malaysia’s tropical heat has you craving cooler weather, the Cameron Highlands is the perfect escape. Located 1,500 meters above sea level, this region is a refreshing blend of rolling tea plantations, strawberry farms, and mossy forests.

The star attraction is the BOH Tea Plantation, where rows of green tea bushes stretch across the hillsides. Here you can take a guided tour to see how tea is grown and harvested, then enjoy a steaming cup while soaking in panoramic views of the valley. The crisp mountain air makes it an ideal place to slow down and reset.

But the highlands are more than just tea. Strawberry farms invite visitors to pick their own fruit, while weekend night markets buzz with food stalls selling everything from honeycomb to steaming hotpots. Adventurers will love hiking through the Mossy Forest, a magical landscape of twisted trees, thick mist, and trails that feel like stepping into a fantasy novel.

🍓 Don’t Miss: A stop at a local scone café—yes, British-style tea and scones are a quirky yet charming legacy of the colonial era.

From the cool air of the mountains, our journey shifts to the energy and lights of Malaysia’s capital—Kuala Lumpur.
