Surprise in Cameron Highland

On the way there. You can finally see the tea farm.

Went there last May, on the way back to KL. The road was very quiet. We were the only people going up. But it was quiet an adventure and full of great scenery. I took my time observing the surrounding. And i did noticed the little homes of the aborigines along the slopes. When we reached Lojing, we started seeing  views of covered farms. And we head on up and up. In the middle of the journey, rain started pouring heavily. And here in the highlands, it was really a downpour. My friend who were driving started getting so silent and get her head focused. The car was moved a little by the slippery road and her face turned pale as ghost.

We started reaching the real Cameron Highland area and there's another problem, the fuel tank was desperately asking for refuel. But gas station was nowhere to be seen. We still hiking up and low and the roads started getting smaller and the corners are extreme. The sky keeps sprinkling water to the ground. And i guess that place must always be wet cos some of the rooftops were covered with moss. Moss wouldn't exist without constant moisture, right?

So, finally, we reached Brinchang and we went to the gas station. The first time turning off the AC and opening up the door. We can finally feel the cold breeze of the highland.

Here are some photos took in MARDI Cameron Highland. A spectacular place for only RM3 entrance fee. Everything represents Cameron Highland like strawberries, roses, tea farm, vegetable farms, and many more, you can find it here. It's like a compact Cameron Highland.


Salad Bowl of Malaysia


Pretty. Still wondering why they grow them here cos it's highly poisonous.

Strawberries, but i'm not excited.  ^^

Healthy flowers

A big fat rosemary tree.

Look at how the fruits were hanging down. So excited over this!


I want a little garden like this.

Cameron Highland is surprisingly cold. Yes. But only at NIGHT. I always underestimate others' opinions about this place. And now that i've experienced it myself, i agreed. It's really cold. But not that cold. I didn't even wear extra layer. LOL. But it's just cool enough like the AC. In daytime, nope. It's not cold. When the sun is up, it's still hot. Only the breeze is cool.

I remembered having a bowl of seafood tom yum in Tanah Rata. I was excited over the unique plastic bag and plastic spoon. They were too cute.

And because of the climate, vegetables are at the best health. The cabbages and roses are grown at the edge of the road just like weeds. And everything about it is pretty. My 1 day stay there is not enough. And i'm looking forward for a revisit trip.
