I went there by car, so don't know much about the public transport.
According to my bf who took a bus there few years back the taxi don't have meter - price quoted by taxi drivers.

Kea Farm still can take taxi. Going to the plantations also can take taxi, but when coming out, don't think it'll be easy to hail a taxi. My bf ended up walking a long way out.

BTW, in cameronhighlands.com i think there's some half day tour by the local tour agent. Maybe you can check that out.

i've seen people walking from equatorial to berinchang. quite a number of them. but not late evening la, morning and noon.

those tourist attractions are quite far from Tanah Rata
taxi is available but sometimes be prepare to cut throat

what is the best budget hotel at tanah rata for 5 person?

KRS Pines looks quite decent.

do i need to book or just go thr and ask for the room?

You'd need at least 2 rooms for 5 persons. I recommend going for the private apartments.
There are loads of them especially beind the 4-storey shops with grey roof (where Maybank is).
Look out for the signboards, they are all over the place.

just to share some of my photo from the trip to cameron this week

this is one of those half day country side tour, RM 25 per person, can get the ticket at many place, the hotel will most likely have the contact number.

Nice pics. Can get very clear image of the machine eventhough have a glass in between.
The last pics, are they dead butterflies?

Sorry, my mistake. KRS is a guesthouse, which provide till family room. Might wanna check on below links? This is the link I checked last time for hotels and apartments.

hi i'll be going to Cameron this Tuesday for 1 day trip only. Maybe will arrive there around 11 am. Any must-go places for a short trip? will be back around 5pm from there..no budget for night stay

BOH house, Kea farm, the market square ... i think you will be tired after the trip up and them need to get back at 5 pm somemore

thanks robert. nevermind,i'll get as much sleep as i can before going there I'll try to make it to those must-go places. will try to stretch until 6 pm if can. if too late the road is quite dangerous at night right?if using the road heading to simpang pulai at night also not that safe compared to tapah?

not during public or school holiday..

I recommend climbing Gunung Irau or Gunung Berinchang for those who want something different than the usual tourist traps in cameron. Really interesting as you're hiking in 15 degree C temperatures... Not something u can easily do in Malaysia indeed.

Wow I miss Cameron Highlands. Miss the temperature the most, I wish the whole of Malaysia has the same temperature as Cameron Highlands. So peaceful and serene up there too. Good place to retire.

The most recent time I went, altogether 6 people, we stayed in a very clean and very comfortable apartment on top of shop lots, 4 rooms 3 bathrooms. Quite affordable too, and owner was very friendly. Got Astro and huge fridge some more. I don't have the contact though.

But I certainly don't miss the journey to and fro there. Go up keep feeling dizzy, go down I even puked, first time puking on bus. Every time travel to and from Cameron Highlands sure feel sick. If got cable car like Genting Highlands how nice. And even though I sit bus/car right up to Genting's hilltop I also won't get sick, maybe it's the difference in roads/height?

rent a bungalow.

So rush, might as well as stay at home to sleep
cameron is meant for relax, not rush

apartment or bungalow

or hotel (2x family room)

apartment is cheaper IMO
