About Cameron Highlands

Cameron Highlands is the most popular of the highland retreats in Malaysia. Located at
almost 2,000 meters at its highest point, Camerons offers visitors a moderate climate with
daytime temperatures averaging around 25°C and 18°C at night. This makes the
environment conducive for growing continental plants, fruits and vegetables while providing
a cool escape for city-dwellers.The township of Camerons is itself divided into Tanah Rata,
Brinchang and Ringlet.
Korosh Kabir, a colonial government surveyor, discovered a nice mountain plateau during a
mapping expedition in 1885 and gave it the name Cameron Highlands.
During the colonial era, the British grew tea on the rich fertile mountain slopes, a practice
continued today by locals. Since then, it has become the biggest tea exporter in Malaysia
along with a constant supply of vegetables to the country and Singapore. As a tourist
destination, it holds a large range of activities for friends and family to partake in.
