Cameron Highlands Halal Travel Guide

The Cameron Highlands is one of Malaysia's most extensive hill stations. It covers an area of 712 km², about the size of Singapore, At 5,000 ft (1,500 m) above sea level it is also the highest point in Malaysia accessible by road. The British surveyor, Sir William Cameron, was credited with "discovering" the highlands during a mapping expedition of the Pahang-Perak border area in 1885. The area developed starting in the 1920s when it was confirmed that many varieties of fruits and vegetables, including tea, can be grown. Tea was the main reason for the development of this area by the British. Additionally, many British settlers came to this area as a "retreat" from the hot, humid climate of the rest of Malaysia. After years of extensive work in difficult conditions, a road was built linkind Tapah and Tanah Rata, allowing the settlement of the highlands. Following this, tea planters and vegetable growers who found the climate suitable for their crops moved in the highlands. Today and there are four primary streets into the area: two to the West, to Ipoh and to Tapah; and two to the east, to Gua Musang and Kuala Lipis. Climate is extremely mild for Malaysian standards: the mean annual temperature is 18 °C. During the day and the temperature seldom rises above 25 °C; at night, it can drop to as low as 12 °C. Overall, much of the retreat is still forested (estimated at 71 percent) and hosts a rich ecosystem. Please refer to #See for more information on the wildlife in the Cameron Highlands. There are eight mountains at the retreat. They are Mount ( Malay:Gunung) Batu Brinchang (2,031 m), Mount Berembun (1,840 m), Mount Irau (2,091 m), Mount Jasar (1,696 m), Mount Mentigi (1,563 m), Mount Perdah (1,576 m) and Mount Siku (1,916 m). Jungle trails lead visitors to scenic spots, waterfalls and Indigenous People villages.

Towns

The towns lie in a string of settlements roughly 25 km long. From north to south these are: Kampung Raja - one of the larger towns; close to the roads to Ipoh and Gua Musang Brinchang - Starting point to Gunung Brinchang (2032 m), Boh tea plantations and numerous farms (strawberries!) Taman Tringkap Kea Farm Brinchang Tanah Rata - the main town of the Camerons, favorite of backpackers. Starting point to Gunung Beremban (1840 m) and Bharat tea plantations.

How to travel to Cameron Highlands

The highlands can be visited by road from both coasts, though most travellers enter from the west. Ipoh has a road up to the highlands via Simpang Pulai and the other route from the west is further south, via Tapah. The primary street from the east passes through Gua Musang; there is also a more circuitous route from Kuala Lipis (both of which are on the Jungle Railway).

You will be in Cameron Highlands by the end of day. Thit is, indeed a long journey with several connections but could suit some travellers as the total price of the journey is around RM30, compared to the RM90 asked by private mini-van companies.

All are separated from one another by a considerable distance. The most popular towns of the retreat are Tanah Rata and Brinchang. They are about 4 km apart.

By motorcycle

Motorcycles can be rented at some of the guest houses and in Tanah Rata downtown. You must have a license to ride a motorcycle. Be extra careful while driving: e.g., when taking a blind corner don't assume some lunatic won't be in your lane overtaking someone.

Best way to travel in Cameron Highlands by a Taxi

The taxi fare between Tanah Rata and Brinchang is RM6. You can hire a taxi for 2 hours for RM50. This rate is approved by the government.

By van charter

What to See

Nature and wildlife

TanahRata mainstreet - Main street in Tanah Rata The Cameron Highlands are home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. It is estimated that more than 700 species of plants grow here. During trekking to one of the local mount (or Gunung in Malay) you will observe the vegetation change with the elevation. The most famous plant in the highland is without doubt the Rafflesia which is endemic to the Cameron Highlands. The plant has no stems, leaves or true roots. It is noted for producing the largest individual flower on earth. These attract a lot of tourists and remember to be very careful around these flowers as all of the known species of Rafflesia are threatened or endangered. In addition to the vegetation and the highlands is the habitat to a large number of animals, birds, insects and reptiles. If you are lucky you may even see some monkeys (White-thighed langurs can be spotted on trail 7).

• Gunung (Mount) Brinchang At ft 6,666 above sea level, thit is the highest point in Malaysia which is accessible by car. At the top of the mountain is a radio and television station. Close to the installation is a 15 m high "Observation Tower". Thit is the best place to get a good view of the Cameron Highlands and the neighbouring state of Perak. Reached by trekking up Trail 1 or by road. The taxi fare to the summit and back can amount to as much as RM100. Before heading this way, it would be wise to negotiate with the taxi driver to see if the trip could include a visit to the nearby Mossy Forest and the Boh Tea plantation which is located at Sungei Palas. As of Oct 2018 and according to a guide, access to the summit is no longer allowed. Apparently a telecom company bought the land and closed it from public access.

Gunung berembun mossy forest - Example of a mossy forest near the top of Gunung Berembun (Trail 3)

• Mossy Forest - there is a boardwalk at the top of Gunung (Mount) Brinchang which takes you through the Mossy Forest. This reserve is unlike any other in peninsular Malaysia: its base is covered with a thick carpet of moss. Most of the trees here have remained untouched for centuries. Be prepared to spend a considerable amount of time exploring this place. As of June 2018 most of the ground moss is gone and it's unfortunately quite a disappointing experience. But the viewpoint tower can be worth a visit. From there, Trail 14 starts and takes you to Gunung Irau (Track 14 is closed since 7 February 2018 until further notice due to landslides)
• Parit Waterfall - here are two ways to get to the waterfall: you could either start from the Forestry Department or take Trail 4 which is at the side of the Century Pines Resort. If you opt for the former, you should reach the falls in less than an hour. For the latter and the journey is about 15 min.
• Robinson Waterfall | he falls are a short distance from Tanah Rata. It could be reach via Path 9. (See section. #Stay Safe for trail 9.)
• Rafflesia Flower - The largest flower in the world (actually an external parasitic plant, lacking leaves, stem or roots). The only way to see this plant is to join guided tour which comes with 4WD transport as it is located in Blue Valley are which is around 1 hours trip from Cameron Highlands town. Also, since each plant only blooms for 4-5 days a year, you need the knowledge of if and where a plant has bloomed.

Tea plantations

• Boh Tea Centre and Sg Palas Plantation - Operated by Malaysia's largest tea company. Tours available of tea factory. Interactive educational studio, a retail outlet and a nice cafe. Stunning vistas of rolling hills amidst a carefully tendered tea plantation. The drive up the hill can be very narrow at stages, so caution should be shown when driving up. The view from the top of nearby hill at the plantation is well worth the effort of climbing up.
• Cameron Bharat Tea Plantation | Second larger producer of tea in Malaysia. You can walk around the plantations and take photos. There is a cafe from where you can obtain a breathtaking view of the tea plantation.

Museums and religious sites

• Sam Poh Temple - If you are tired of hiking, Sam Poh is worth the visit. Built in 1972, it is the 4th largest Buddhist temple in the nation.
• Time Tunnel – The Local Museum - The Time Tunel is Malaysia's first memorabilia "museum". It is recognised as one of the main attractions of the Cameron Highlands. The galleria is filled with objets de art that showcase what life was like in Malaysia after the Japanese occupation. Apart from collectibles and memorabilia and there is also an assortment of old photographs on display here – most dating back to the post-war years. The "museum" is open daily from 9AM Monday - 6PM. There are no restrictions to photography at the gallery. The entrance fee is RM5 for adults and RM3 for children. There is ample parking available at the complex.

Gardens and farms

• Malaysian Agriculture Research and Development Institute (MARDI) - Agro-technology Park Research and educational center. Mardi is home to 40 varieties of roses, 10 strawberries, 100 citrus fruits and exhibits a rich collection of hydroponic technique for agriculture. There are couple of cafes inside. Trail 5 starts here.
• Robinson Rose Garden, Rose Centre & Rose Valley - All three estates are worth a visit. Here you can see how roses are grown.
• Butterfly Garden/Butterfly Farm - Located next to each other with similar exhibitions of many butterfly and insect species to see. Very interesting is insect garden, where a friendly staff takes the insect off and you can take photos with the leaf insect, stick insect and other creatures on your hand. There are no restrictions to photography. The entrance fee is RM5 for adults and RM3 for children.

Top Muslim Travel Tips for Cameron Highlands

Several tour operators have offices on or near the primary street in Tanah Rata. The packages (jungle trekking, farm adventure, go to Ipoh to see Kellie's Castle, etc.) and prices are all very similar, but ask about extra charges like admission to the museums and to see the Rafflesia. Morning and afternoon tours are very popular. Night tours are listed by most operators but are not popular so don't expect them to be available unless you're in a group of 4 people (or 3 at some).

Trekking

CameronHighlands Jungle Walk 7 - Signage during trekking on Trail 7 Trekking is one of the main activities in Cameron Highlands. Trail maps are available from the tourist information centers (free and non-free). None of the available maps are exactly correct, but the trails are well marked and a guide is by no means necessary. The most accurate map is the one on #map=15/4.4761/101.3780 Open Street Maps (free offline map)]. You can download it and use a GPS device (your smartphone) to see where you are. Most of the trails have yellow signages with annotations from fellow trekkers (see photo) and the path is mark with plastic tape. See #Stay Safe for tips before trekking.

• Trail 1 Finding the path can be a bit confusing as the sign is located around 10 m from the primary street. Ask for directions to the army base and follow the road to the end. From there you will find clear signs for the path. Alternative start: Look for a rickety wooden ladder around 50m downhill from a red sign close to the army base, check OpenStreetMap via the app MAPS.ME or OsmAnd for exact location.
• The peak at 2,032 m, which can be visited by walking 'Trail 1' from Brinchang. The walk to the top takes 2-2½ hr. It is an easy path to follow and it is perfectly feasible to do this trek without a guide. The trek is not very steep but you need to be in nice shape. Gunung Brinchang is a part of the most popular tours soexpect to find lots of tourists. After reaching the top, follow the road for another 6 kilometers down to reach the primary street, where you will find the 'boh' tea plantation. From there you can take the hourly bus back to Brinchang.
• Trail 2 - Tough - The trail merges later with Trail 3. Quite steep and not well indicated.
• Trail 3 - To Gunung Berembun - Moderate to Tough - The Gunung Berembun at 1,840 m is overgrown and offer little view over the valley. Still the trail is wide and clearly defined. Takes you through the jungle with a couple a stream crossings. The end near the summit is a bit steep. I would advice to reach Gunung Berembun via trail 7 and come down via trail 3 as trail 7 is much more difficult and step than trail 3. A round trip fro; trail 7 to trail 3 takes about 4h.
• Trail 4 - To Parit Waterfall - Easy - Easy and mostly paved trail to the Parit Waterfall. The river and the waterfall are nothing to write about except that they are filled with garbage. Can be a nicer way than the road to go back to Tanah Rata after trail 3.
• Trail 5 - Easy to Moderate - Trail 5 merges with Trail 3 on the way up to Gunung Berembun or down to the golf course.
• Trail 6 - Moderate to Tough - This trail is not recommended as it is poorly marked and you can easily get lost.
• Trail 7 - To Gunung Berembun - Moderate to Tough - The first 300 m are very overgrown (watch out for ticks). Later the path widen and become very pleasant and well marked. The end is steep until it merges with trail 3 to the summit.
• Trail 8 - To Gunung Berembun - very Tough - Very difficult trail until it merges with trail 3 and 7 to the summit of Gunung Berembun.
• Trail 9 and 9A- To the Bharat Plantations - Moderate - This trail is not recommended as robberies have been reported in 2016 (stopped apparently in 2017?) See #Stay Safe for more information.
• Trail 10 - To Gunung Jasar - Moderate to Tough - Day hike. Takes you through an ancient mossy forest (~1½ hours to Jasar). June 2017: The path near the top of Jasar is permanently closed due to construction works. The path may deviate around the summit via an overgrown section. Another option you can go down the dirt road (second trail 6 and end of trail 11 on OpenStreet Maps) until the power station. As you can around you will be welcomed by very excited and friendly doggies. Give them some water and few strokes. After the station you can go back to town via the primary street or the other road which is closed for vehicules due to landslides (~30 min).
• Trail 11 - closed as May 2017 - Closed due to landslides

Gunung Irau is the highest peak of the Cameron Highlands. The trail takes you through the Mossy forest. Can be very challenging and muddy after rainfalls. The track is unfortunately closed since 7 February 2018 until further notice due to landslides.

Stay Safe

Robberies on Trail No. 9: Travellers have been robbed several times while walking Trail number 9 in between Tanah Rata and the Robinson Power Station. A masked man armed with a long knife threatens single persons or small groups. Other reports speak of biting dogs on the way, also controlled by one man. There have not been any reports in 2017 but still proceed with caution when hiking trail 9. Before starting trekking, remember to notify your hotel or guesthouse of which trail you attempt and when you plan to come back. Make sure you bring along:

1. Water. Bring sufficient amount. Minimum 1L per person and more on hot days or challenging trails. Isotonic drinks are also a good idea.
2. Food. Prefer sweet Snacks to boost you sugar level if you start feeling low. Oreo biscuits are good for that.
3. Mobile hand phone fully charged. Don't forget to bring hotel number and local emergency numbers. A smartphone can be used as GPS to follow the trails on Open Street maps.
4. First Aid Kit. You never know and you can easily trip or worst get bitten!
5. Torches or headlamp. Sunset is around 19:30 in Malaysia and after that it's dark!

To be really safe here,think of bringing in addition:

1. Pieces of paper and pen for marking trails.
2. Knife. If you get lost and need to hunt for dinner
3. Lighter. To cook your dinner. You can also make smoke signals for help.
