3 Days 2 Nights Cameron Highlands
Cameron Highlands is a perfect getaway for those who wish to retreat into the highlands to enjoy the cool, fresh mountain air and green hills. Named after the British surveyor William Cameron, who discovered the place in 1855, the tea cultivated here is among the best in the country.
Those who wish to enjoy activities can trek through the forest to waterfalls, enjoy tea in quaint English-style teahouses, or take a 4-wheel drive to the top of the mountain for a breathtaking view of the hills. You can also visit the many flower plantations, as exporting flowers is an increasingly important economic activity.
