Wow! U been there, is it nice? Looks like a small waterfall only, right? Quite far from the main road...

Yes.. I was there in Oct'07. Not really far..u can park ur car somewhere near the trail head (Trail no9) & cross over to the other side of the river...just folow the trail beside the river until u reach the first fall (Man-made) ~300M from the parking. & then probably walk another 1Km to the fall..but for sure u can't swimm there...That's the photo I taken from opposite the fall right where I stand on the trail. Small -yes.. & water quality suxx big time..bcos of the over developement in CH!....No way U or me going to swim on the same water that flow from the same river/big drain opposite Tanah Rata town centre!!!

Star apartments are pretty cheap for group accomadation.

No meaning going in there, better drive up to Gunung Brinchang. Haha! So at the peak of Gunung Brinchang is just to enjoy the scenery n the weather, right? Nothing more v can do?

I f u like water falls, the robison fall although small in volume & dirty water, it's abit impressive actually bcos of the 90 degree fall.. ..picture dun tell 100% truth unless u r there. Yes Gunung berinchang is to sight the scenery too...just the TM station on top of the summit, and in between the TM station u can actually see the marking on the ground mentioning the border of Kelantan & Pahang.. There is a trail head at the side of the TM station too that leads you to Gunung Irau...it's about 3-4 hours of tracking to Gn Irau from top of Berinchang...Have not tried...just heard from those who have tracked. Gunung Irau is at the back of Gn Berinchang wth height abit taller I think about 2070M compare to Gn Berinchang @2033M..Irau is the highest point in Cameron Highland & not Gunung Berinchang as what ppl think...

Ohhh...then we should organize a trip to track the Gunung Irau. Haha!

Anyway, thanks for the info bro. Besides that, i think not much people is on the top the peak, right? I mean not much people will go there.

Depend on timing-lah..during peak season, for sure u b stucked in the jam! Not to Gn Berinchang but jam bcos more ppl goto Sg Palas Boh Tea plantation using the same narrow road!!

But on Gn Berinchang yeap not many will go up...The worry is not going up but the jam at the narrow entrance to Sg Palas!..There was once years back on my way up..I quarel wth one Indian Bas Sekolah driver b'cos of the narrow road!..Also on the way the u can see the slope been badly sctrecth...

The Sg. Palas Plantation so nice meh??? What can v do over there?

silverstar (银星) well known for cut throat
u may tru ok tuck, mayflower, highland (charcoal) or the organic 1...
most of them are quite similiar

freshness...depends.... low season...maybe not so fresh...
peak season they will get more vege frequently

if u wan, u can have lunch steamboat at kea farm
opt for the outside tables
u can have ur lunch in front of all the vege, strawberry farms at kea farm..
but food wise... ok ok la...

is more better to ride on the Bas Sekolah
much more better than drive up into that narrow road

the scenery is superb, plus the fresh air
1 word "syiok!"

Wow! Thanks for the lovely photo bro...the photo is really nice but the route is a bit scary. Haha!

The Tea Farm with the hangover cafe are really chun!!! MUST GO!!! Hehe

If u got time should go also to the Boh Plantation at Habu near Ringlet..i.e b4 Tanah Rata....Although dun hv the newly built hanging pavilion, but the hike up the viewpoint on top of one of the summit is the best....tiring but u will be rewarded wth better view of the Valley in between tea plantation.....The road leading to Habu plantation is abit far I think almost 15KM from main CH road but the condition is much better & wider than in Sg Palas...The Tea plantation in Habu is bigger & the original/oldest under Boh Group..The one in Sg Palas is the one they took over from another competitor decades ago..

15KM from the main road of CH?????? Oh my goodness...the scenery is much more nicer than the Sg Palas 1??

yup. Sungai Palas. Upon reaching, u will smell the tea aroma in the air. The view is simply the best i've seen comparing even to Gunung Jerai n other mountains tops.

But the road uphill is quite dangerous. The up n down traffic will share a road build slightly to fit not more than 1 car at a time. So if come across traffic frm the opposite direction, then som1 hav to get down to navigate the 2 cars to avoid collision or crashing into the plantation below

Hehe..sorry after recheck the distance it's actually 6KM from the main road...The entrance at the main road is about 4km from Ringlet & 7km before Tanah rata ..Habu is abit low at 1000M only (Not so cold) but once u reach the tea plantation, attitude increased to 1400M. I don't hv the photo album wth me if not I will probably post here....reason why I said is better because ooportuinty to hike up to the summit of Telekom tower (Look out point) & from there a vast miles & miles of green Valley far away....well probably it was my first time there too but definitely not first at Sg Palas (For me Sg Palas too boring oledi.. ) ..best time to go is on your way up from Tapah to Hotel..start early from KL so that u can reach Habu ~10am & spend your Morning breakfast there b4 going up Tanah Rata at Noon. If u dun start early, by the time reach CH..u for sure will missed this tea plantation because chasing time to Hotel & u probably dun want to detour on your way back...That's why so many ppl missed Habu including me until recently

Here is the link to Habu Tea plantation I managed to find via yahooing....
