Welcome to the ultimate web site travel guide about Cameron Highlands, your ultimate resource for an unbias review of your cuti-cuti Malaysia travel destination guide. Cameron Highlands has always been many a Malaysian and Singaporean retreat from the eternal summer of the tropics. As do I. A chance to cool off, perhaps kick back and relax in the cool climate weather and sooth tired eyes with the surrounding lush greenery of montane jungle forest!
Building this web site had been interesting and challenging. Thank goodness for dogged persistence and unbridled enthusiasm otherwise it would not have been quite possible. I would hope you would enjoy browsing through this web site to locate the information about this serene highland, its farming community and tourist destination. Lots of hard work and effort has gone into creating this web site for you to plan your best trip up to the highlands.
Do have a look at the sponsors around the web site without which there would not be any other assistance to help fund the web site and keep it going for a long time to come to benefit visitors just like you. Please bookmark this site as some of the links would lead you away from the site.
Cameron Highlands is one of the most popular highlands retreat around Malaysia losing out only to Genting Highlands. With about 300,000 visitors yearly and growing, it stands to pass that Cameron Highlands has a charm of its own with its Tudor architecture style buildings, tea plantation with its soothing greenery and breathtaking scenery, not to mention some old favourite English pastime of having afternoon tea and scones with Devonshire cream. Yes, give me Cameron Highlands anytime!
Of course with its growing popularity, it is not without its downside like traffic congestion and degradation of its pristine environment. All this and the less than efficient authorities who need to really buck up and do something about it to ensure that Cameron Highlands growing popularity will not be its own downfall.
As the tourism industry in the Cameron Highlands continues to grow, new methods of accommodation are popping up beside the traditional hotels, motels and bed-and-breakfasts. Timeshare sales are becoming an increasingly popular option for securing lodging on a long-term basis without costing a fortune. However, the rapid growth of the area is bound to increase the price for these properties. To combat the rising prices, savvy timeshare buyers have begun to purchase their property resale online to save thousands. Additionally, buying online puts thousands of timeshares right at your fingertips so you can choose the perfect accommodation for you.
Traveling to the highlands is different from going to the beautiful sun, sea and sand of which Malaysia has many good ones around, especially the Terengganu and Sabah beaches which are to my opinion some of the best around in Malaysia. But the tropic is indeed hot, and to cool oneself without using artificial means is of course, to travel to the highlands! With the natural environment one can commune with nature and perhaps find your center as you balance the yin and yang of a hectic hustle and bustle city lifestyle.
The best way to explore it would be by car of course. Public buses has never been efficient anywhere in Malaysia, least of all in the highlands. But you are welcome to take your chances if you are without your own transport. You could of course take the public taxis or brave the area on foot. Doing so on foot would be quite a feat as you will have quite a lot of area to cover, you certainly have to be very fit to do so too. Still I have seen many a determine traveler doing so! My hats off to them!
With the advent of digital camera, it is now much easier to indulge in one of my favourite hobby of photography.
