Mount Brinchang .

Mount Berinchang located in Cameron Highland, Pahang [1] has a height of 2,032
meters (6,664 feet). It is the pinnacle of Cameron Highlands. There is a radio station on top of
Mount Berinchang. The entrance there is through the Blue Valley Tea Plantation. There is a
paved road to the top of Mount Berinchang. Mount Berinchang is located next to Mount Irau.
Mount Berinchang has Hill Dipterocarp forest, Upper Dipterocarp forest, Montane forest, and
Ericaceous Forest or mountain forest. There is a lot of flora in this mountain that has medicinal
value. Mount Berinchang is often the focus of climbing activities among climbers and it is
located in the Permanent Forest Reserve (HSK) of the State of Pahang. To carry out any activity
in the Permanent Forest Reserve, each visitor must obtain a permit to enter the Permanent Forest
Reserve in advance from the Pahang State Forestry Department. It does look creepy at first
glance. However, when you take a little time to appreciate the atmosphere of thick fog with cold
weather to grip the ribs, surely, you do not want to leave Mount Brinchang or Mossy Forest,
Cameron Highlands. It is no exaggeration for the author to conclude that there are still many who
do not know about the existence of this moss forest. Thus, a recent stop there gave the writer the
opportunity to tell a little about this great nature award. The 914-hectare Mossy Forest is the only
highest point in Peninsular Malaysia that can be accessed by vehicle.
