Cameron Highland

1. Tour the Boh Tea Plantation

Boh Tea Plantation

The Boh Tea Company was founded in 1929 and is one of the most famous brands of tea in Malaysia.

As such, one of the highlights of a trip to the Cameron Highlands is the chance to visit the source at the Boh Tea Plantation where you can enjoy the lush green terraces and learn how the tea is harvested and grown.

There is also a delightful tea shop here where you can sample some of the signature brews for yourself and also pick up a few packets as a souvenir of your trip here.

The vistas across the plantation here are simply stunning and this is one of the best places to check out the scenery that the Cameron Highlands is so famous for.

2. Smell the roses at Mrs. Robertson’s Rose Garden

Mrs. Robertson’s Rose Garden

The Cameron Highlands is famous for its flora and, as well as tea and strawberries, you will also find a huge number of species of roses here.

If you like flowers then one of the best ways to see the roses is on a trip to Mrs. Robertson’s Rose Garden which is located on a scenic hillside and will give you pretty views over the valleys below.

Some of the species that you can admire here include Pink Queen Victoria and Maid of Hearts and don’t be surprised by the large size of some of the flowers, as they thrive due to the higher elevation of the Cameron Highlands.

As with many attractions here there is also a pretty little cafe and gift shop attached.

3. Tour the Orang Asli Villages

Orang Asli Villages

Orang Asli means ‘Original People’ in Malay and refers to the various indigenous groups that live in the Cameron Highlands.

To that end, you will find a number of traditional Orang Asli villages dotted around the area and many of them are located on the main road that leads up to Tanah Rata, the central town in the Cameron Highlands.

4. Pick some strawberries at Raaju’s Hill Strawberry Farm

Raaju’s Hill Strawberry Farm

Raaju’s Hill Strawberry Farm is known for having some of the juiciest strawberries in the Cameron Highlands.

One of the reasons for this is that the farm is strategically located in a misty valley, but whatever the reason, this is one of the best places to pick strawberries in town.

This is a great activity, especially for anyone who is travelling with children and you can pick half a kilo of strawberries that you can then take home and savor.

If you prefer to just admire the strawberry fields but still want to sample some of the delicious fruit, then you can visit the onsite cafe where you can enjoy a full English cream tea with strawberry jam as well as their signature strawberry juice.

There are also a number of villages that are still found in the middle of the jungles here, so if you want to really see a traditional working village then you can take a tour with a guide who will take you out into the more remote areas.
