walk!?
use taxi lah,last time i use teksi 'hantu' only cost RM3 per person

It is possible to wait for the local bus. It should be very economy. I've tried once.

Well, the local buses have no aircon(u dun need it @CH ). And the schedule is not frequent. Also service is till evening only. Checkout the schedule when u are at tanah rata.

Not only the bus but also the hotels...100% hotels in CH are without air-con....hehe..just to remind all since there was one forumer (Not sure whether mentioning about CH/Genting?bkt Tinggi) shouting loud that a 5star rated hotel but no Aircon!!

haha aircond fan already cold enough!

how many hours will be the trip to gunung brinchang. how much is the land rover trip to the peak.

Driving up will not take hour-lah probably ~30min drive from the main road ..The problem is on the 1st stage from the main road to Sg Palas Noh tea plantation..that road is super narrow!

is night market there operates only on Sat n sun? I am planning to go on Friday

so prepare la a bit

hi, i have few questions wanna ask regarding transportation to CH
1)if i were to take express bus up CH from kl, does the driver sped and drive recklessly up the hill and down the hill?
2)and will the bus ticket fully booked during raya?

thanks mate..planning a trip up with few mates..

yeah, the road is narrow. try to go early like before 11am, got less car and less ppl.

very nice apartment at cameron highlands for your family and friends

1) it's not like they only have 1 drivers, so it really depends on the driver himself, can't comment but normally they are in moderate speed when i saw them
2) most likely

is there a waterfall that don't require to walk far? Im not a trekker and i just need to find a place to listen to waterfall sound.

da local bus company REGAL...is SUCK UP all time. Unreliable..they put up a schedule detailing da frequency of buses...in reality its just a piece of stupid paper to misled passengers. I waited for da bus for hours! not even one is visible. Better drive to CH. Moving around CH with a taxi is an expensive thing to do.

Most driver going up to CH r experience drivers. They know all da dangerous curve. I went there about one month ago. It was raining heavily that time. Lots of mini landslide..but da bus driver can tell u all da dangerous spots! Look for this company...KURNIA BESTARI...

for more enquiries about CH...you can go to this portal http://www.cameronhighlands.com/

just wanna ask any1 been to bala's chalet?how's the accomodation there??got sell liquor or not?.tx

can a kelisa 1000cc pack with 1 guy with 80kg, 2 guy average of 60kg n 1 girl 45kg naik cameron ? enuf power?

or use which route easier ... simpang pulai or tapah?
and is the gua musang route to cameron open d ?!

For sure can, If cannot, ask 80kg guy push from the back. For me Simpang Pulai route is easier and wider. Gua Musang route open long time already

I mean the route exit Bertam Valley oh? which passes by raub n so on !

Last month i heard few path is still undergoing some construction! Is the road better than tapah and simpang pulai !?

Not sure that road linking Sg Koyan Raub to Bertam Valley & thereafter to Ringlet completed. I was there end of last year & the portion near bertam valley really teruk -unpath & very dusty, decided to turn back after exploring ~5-10km of the unpath road ..nevertheless it is possible via 4WD & the tracklogs by 4WD has been updated in Malsingmaps

i've stayed at bala's before (we took the family room). my opinion:

good:
1. the place is nice ... beautiful garden, quiet, highlands charm.
2. the chalet provides free shuttle to tanah rata town area and back to the hotel (just call them to pick you up).
3. our room has a patio outside (for those who want to be with nature)

bad:
1. there's a common room with tv and books, but either we were late sleepers or the guests there were early sleepers (it was about 10pm), the room was dark and quiet ... so we did not hang out there.
2. ok, i think the guests there are all early sleepers. we totally did not realize there were ppl staying next door, and thought we had the area to ourselves. we were playing cards and eating strawberries, when out of nowhere this guy popped out of his room and asked us to quiet down.
3. my friend claimed that someone knocked on the bathroom door when she was using it. We did not.

now that i think about it ... i hope the guy talking to us was a human ...

p/s: another friend in our group likes the place very much, and is booking it for her upcoming trip

Added on September 28, 2008, 5:15 amhi, does anyone know what time the night market starts and ends? i'm looking forward to buying the snacks like fried mushrooms and sweet potatoes, but also want to have steamboat for dinner ... can't decide which to go for!

also, i read from other resources that OK Tuck steamboat is good and value for money. is this correct info?

i'll be staying at Brinchang area, and i've gathered from this forum that it's a bad idea (traffic and high priced food) ... oops! but i choose it for convenience this time
