The Cameron Highlands is the name of a scenic hill station in the state of Pahang in Malaysia which dates from the 19th century. The highlands were founded by a British colonialist named Sir William Cameron and were named after him, and were modeled on a traditional English village. The aim of the Cameron Highlands was to provide residents in the lowlands with some respite during the summer months and allow them to enjoy the cooler climate here, and you will find English influences all over the region.
Just some of these include unusual attractions such as rose and lavender gardens, and one of the big draws here is the chance to go strawberry picking. In keeping with its British history, you can stay in traditional style colonial buildings here as well as enjoy typical treats such as English cream teas. If you are looking for the perfect drink to go with your tea, then the Cameron Highlands is known for its sweeping tea plantations.
The Cameron Highlands span some 71,000 hectares of land.
Tourists love going to the Cameron Highlands resort area for its splendid views and relaxing appeal. Those who want a more rugged adventure can also hike through the jungle trails that will take you through the tea and strawberry fields.
