tapah road around 3-4 hours
simpang pulai road around 2-3 hours
actually kea farm is not a farm
it's just a morning market

and a place's name
beside equatorial nia

Actually, cameron highlands is a very bery boring place :/ unfortunately.

if you wanna go and relax, have naps and stuff, this is the place to go lah.

if you're in for some fun and adventure, i dont think so. you like plucking strawberries?

According to this map:



I should pass by Tapah exit before Simpang Pulai exit, so I just ignore Tapah and take Simpang Pulai exit after Tapah lor... thanks for the information dude!

My gf wanna go mar go with her lor...

From the map seem like Tapah exit road is nearer to Brinchang compared with Simpang Pulai exit wor, is the map misleading or what?

i dun find the place boring
it's a great hangout place for us living in the cities to breath some fresh air and release our tension
in fact i actually goes there whenever i got free time

yep, ignore tapah exit
go straight until simpang pulai exit on ur left
after toll turn right to the main road, the junction to the hill road is on ur right again
forgot which junction but there aren't far from the toll

distance wise, tapah is nearer, but the twist and turns are making the journey slower and dun forget the buses and lorries, but more scenery, and higher chances of land slide (touch wood)
safety wise, simpang pulai road is wider and less turnings, less secnerary, need to go thru kampung raja which is another small town (sometimes the road is a bit slow)

thanks guys, came back from cameron dy, a nice trip.
thanks everyone for all the information, esp. driftmeister
was a nice break although nothing much special
took kayu ara toll to simpang pulai, rm24.80
cold and heavy mist... hardly see the road when coming back...
bought 99 roses with some flower for the bunch decoration for rm35
eat many strawberries, but not that sweet... tasted the strawberry ice cream, the strawberry smoothies, strawberry dip with chocolate, dried strawberry, dried rose, etc, all strawberries and roses stories... lolz... tasted the hongkong steamboat, nothing special. i like the "fried mushroom", dun really know the exact name...
oh yea manage to buy the 7 colours clock (selling in LYN bulk for rm12 or rm15) at rm8 only with free battery at brinchang nite market!

eh which hotel u stay in?

just going there last week.. quite a big huge traffic jam when passing the Pasar Malam near the Cactus Valley and the market near Equatorial... and it is so hard to find a place for parking..

1st day live in kow loon hotel, rm108 for such a peak season, reasonable, located at brinchang, good location, walking distance to brinchang pasar malam. although i don't really like the hotel but its ok lar... for this kind of rate i'd prefer first world in genting

2nd day due to din book earlier so ended up moved to twin pines guest house, rm30 only , its for ppl with low budget.

i'd recommend iris hotel, rm78 if i am not mistaken, saw from the sign board... i think its much more better, looks new, perhaps u can ask from other forumers see they ever visited iris hotel or not?

I'm from cameron highlands, try out my mum's steamboat restaurant @ Golden Win Restaurant



It might not be the most delicious one, but worth trying



anyone else come from Cameron Highlands?

hello i plan nak pegi cameron this monday/tuesday..kalau one day trip dari kl (sg. besi) without personal transpot..which place kena pegi dulu dan sterusnya?

maybe ramai yg dah pegi..so i ask based on your experience

if u want to make ur valentine the best in cameron highland, try this

Was planning a trip there, budget of RM300 a nite (oredi very luxury for me) but this one is just waaay too expensive for a deluxe room. Anyone (local) stay here before?

Don't have a point to stay there yet...i usually go up for business at around 9am...reach brinchang around 10am....go to smokehouse for lunch....grab some stuff at brinchang market....then head back to ipoh by 3pm....btw, do stop at the smokehouse for scones...damn nice, better than bharat's....

I've some relatives up in brinchang but not really close with them after my grandma past away...used to like eating pancakes at the deaf couple near the taxi stand at tanah rata...hmmm....

I need accomodation at Tanah Rata for 2 families.. about 10 ppl... thinking of getting 3 rooms apartment...

any suggestion ?

thanks

I think scones is over rated and over priced at Cameron..

Desa Anthurium, Villa Dahlia

hello there... am planning to go up there next month so need some information.

wat is the round trip bus fare if embarking from KL puduraya?
also, i wonder if there's any cozy hotels/chalets etc available with affordable rates. Of course the cheaper rate the better

thanks a lot

Last year, I went there with my collegaues. Stayed at Villa Dahlia. I guess the place is not bad! Got hot water too. Pretty decent apartment too!
