Sorry I hv taken down the earlier guy blog whoring activity

@Tat Meng, Nyonya fern steamboat & also Mayflower are recommended, they are pork free.

Day trip better forget about CH lah...3hr+ from KL & back another 3hrs..no time there liao...BTW, that's by driving, by bus lagi slow...

There are few big towns in CH, the most u can do once u arrive earliest probably at 11am round ~Tanah Rata & down u go again bck to Kl...I dun think u hv time to go Brinchang, Habu, kea Farm & etc

Ok-lah if u can get this 1 day rush package from KL...

If no itineraries, just copy the one posted by Amartiel above...pretty cover all of CH, except no jungle tracking & robinson fall & gunung brinchang

Landsides are common in CH..so just go sja-lah...probably after got stuck up there u can can call bck office giving reason why u can't go bck..

Yes titiwangsa has been extensively discussed b4...I dun stay there but they are pretty new.

Just use the search function below this post & type Hotel titiwangsa..lotsa posts & review there.

charcoal steamboat...there are few that I known..1 in brinchang super crowded & another after Kea farm..Water Crest Valley in between Keafarm & Tringkap.

Be prepared for $$...I tried the watercrest b4..dinner for 2 = small kid...RM60++!! Shit brix liao

Huh still using MSM? Use the more updated MFM-lah...

Anyway the Highland steamboat is somewhere on the road to Rosa Pasadena somewhere here:

N4 29.532 E101 23.295

In malsingmaps, there is one charcoal steamboat without name here: N4 29.536 E101 23.272 ..probably refering to tyhe same but wrongly located?

Anyway..all brinchang food I gave up liao....Dun say I dun warn hor....Better place..Tanah Rata steamboats. U won't get slaughter there.

So far no but still tastier than those shit brix steamboats in Brinchang & kea farm

Just check 1 page b4 this. Someone just did the day trip from Kl but via package tour from KL..I disagreed at 1st on the day trip due to time constraint, but since she/he was on a package & the itineraries covered all the important attractions along the way up to CH, She/she managed to see most of the attraction.

If DIY, 1 day might not be viable bcos, bus going CH will takes about 4 hrs & after reaching, u need to arrange for day trip tour which I think ~RM50-RM80 (Certain ppl said only RM22?)

& thereafter by Evening, u need to catch another bus bck to KL...

Normal...That's why always negotiate!! Once I negotioated Villa Dahlia..3 rooms apt for only RM140/nite coooll

That's one of the noisiest hotel in CH...I regretted staying there..Too bad my from is w/out breakfast...And I only take breakfast 5 KM down at Tanah Rata..Brinchang food is not for human...Slaughtering house!

Yeah especially rooms facing the backside of the shell stations

Those are the lousiest food leh..Sumore kena ketuk..The best & resonable food are in Tanah Rata not in Brinchang..those are slaughtering houses!!

BTW, You Hou having Public Holiday rate too...I was like WTH.... Steamboat almost doubled during Public Hoilday!! For better food I rather drive down to Tanah rata 7 visit either MayFlower, Hong kong or even nyonya fern steamboats

yeah taste is very personal indeed.. do agree nypnya feern is my last choice comparing to the others.. nevertheless those restayrants in Tanah Rata don't have "Public Holiday" surcharge comparing to those in Brinchang

Yes you can. Hilux lagi can. I even saw kancils going up there..That's the highest road in Pen M'sia up to the top at 2033M.

Don't forget to check out the border line inside TM premise ...Those guys are working in Perak & Pahang everyday & crossing the border everytime coming out from the building..

Your budget?

<RM100/nite, you can get those hostel/hotel around Tanah rata such as Twin pine, KRS, Father, juliana, & more. KRS is recommended

>RM100 but below RM200..Brinchang noisy hotels.

The most expensive as recommended by buntutman & Mr Wokkay - Cameron Highland resort - >RM700/nite

Noisy also because located to close to the main road. (brinchang town.

Relaxing & quiet hotels include Strawberry, Heritage, Equatorial for rate >RM200 to RM400

And quiet & relaxing budget hotels inc - KRS, Twin Pine, Camaronian Inn, juliana & more

Quiet meaning it's further away from the main street.. You would not want the hotels located beside the main road do you?

I don't think you are asking direction from KL bcos it will be too long here...but once u reach Tanah Rata tun in to the lane beside maybank..It;s located at the end of Jln mentigi..Dead end at the hostel directly...BTW, parking is scarce there, sometime need to park near the road entrance beside their HQ (twin pine) & walk in. & it's a hostel hor wth basic room atleast wth own bathroom but no TV. TV located at the common lobby on each floors

Here' the maps of Tanah Rata wth KRS at the end of mentigi:
