INTRODUCTION OF CAMERON
HIGhLANDS

Cameron Hinglands is the most popular of the highland retreats in
Malaysia.Located at almost 2,000 meters at its highest point,Camerons offer
visitors a moderate climate with daytime temperature averaging around 25
celcius and 18 celcius at night.This makes the environment conducivefor
growing continental plants,fruits and vegetables while providing a cool
escape for city dwellers.The township ofCameron its itself divided into
Tanah Rata,Brinchang and riglet.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,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 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.

tourism sites that promote activities at highest and cooler temperature in
Malaysia.The tourism activities that should be promoted in the Cameron
Highlands are along the lines of culture heritage and natural environment
themes.The expension of mess tourism should be curbed.Therefore,an
approach is needed to continuously reduce the negative impacts.Local
communities Non-Government(NGOs)support the ides that agro-
ecotourism the economies value of Cameron Highlands and the country.I
am so happy that I was share little-bit of information about the beautiful
