Vacation at Cameron Highland

I haven't write at this blog for quite some times. You know what, I go vacation. After spending and focusing writing and working, I think I need to take a rest from this all internet thing. This is because some people say that , we can be addicted to internet. Thus, I made a decision's to left all the internet things for while,turn off my computer for a month and bring my family to a vacations.

My hubby and I, took all my family to a popular vacation spot in Malaysia, the Cameron Highland. From the name you may guest that it is a highland spot. Yes you right. Cameron Highland is about 15000 feet above the sea level.

My country Malaysia is a hot country all year round. Thus Cameron Highland give us a little be cool climate like one's in the Europe or US. That why Malaysian like to spend their vacation at Cameron Highland. The climate here is cool.There a lot of hotels that you can choose.

The Journey.

My husband drove his car from Kuala Lumpur via PLUS highway and we exit from highway at Simpang Pulai near Ipoh. I asked my friend the best way to come to Cameron Highland and they told me that you have to choose Simpang Pulai road. Yes this is true. From Simpang Pulai the road is wider and it make easy to drive to Cameron Highland.

You also can go to Cameron Highland from Tapah or from Bentong Pahang, but the road is quiet small and more hill road. This some times can make your or your kid giddy because the road circling the hill to get to the top. Different route will get you at different level at Cameron Highland.

I went through Simpang Pulai which it took me about 4 hours from Kuala Lumpur to get to Cameron Highland. This route will make you get to the highest level at Cameron Highland, this spot they called Brincang.
If you take Tapah route you will reached "Tanah Rata" first but you also can drive to Brincang and it will take about 30 minutes drive.

The Hotels.

There a lot of hotel you can choose to stay here. However, I advised that you better booking the hotel in advance before coming here, especially during Malaysia School Holiday or at Public Holiday because at this time the hotels is fully book and you may end up sleeping in your own camp..or sleeping back. There a lot of hotel you can choose such as Equatorial , Rossa Pasedena etc. My husband have made reservation at Rossa Pasedena Hotel at Brinchang. Is nice hotel. How much ?. It cost RM195 per night plus free breakfirst for 3 people. One thing about hotel at Cameron Highland there no air condition due to coolest climate but they have hot water shower.

Things To Do

There a lot of thing and places you can visit. One of the popular spot here is Strawberry Farm. If you from Europe or US you may laugh one I told that Strawberry Farm is popular spot here. But for us, Cameron Highland is the only place we can find the best place that you can see they grown strawberry. Cameron Highland also popular with their fresh vegetable farm, Roses farm, Bees Farm .At bee farm you can taste and buy fresh honey from hive.

The other thing that popular here is Cameron Highland tea. Here is the palace where they grown fresh and good tea. There also other popular spot like Cactus Farm. Here you can see very nice and beautiful cactus. I took some picture here for you to see. You need to come here to enjoy the beautiful of Cameron Highland.
