Cameron Highlands

We never realized we loved trekking as much until this year.
After our trekking in South America we jumped at the chance of trekking through the Malaysian jungle in Cameron Highlands - 4 hrs by bus from Kuala Lumpur.
We arrived around lunchtime and headed straight away to a short jungle trek that ended at a tea plantation. The tea plantations are wonderfully scenic and we had a great afternoon. We managed to hitch a lift back to Tanah Rata to our hotel before enjoying some Indian dinner at night.
The next day had us up and out by 8am for a 6 hour, 20k trek through fantastic jungle, to another tea plantation before walking back past the multiple strawberry farms.
The strawberry farms are great where you can pick your own and enjoy lots of strawberry drinks and dishes.
Cameron offers 14 trails, some through the jungle and some easier.
It's also nice and cool compared with the heat of KL and Penang.
A must to visit whilst in KL if you enjoy walking and trekking.
