2. HOW TO GET TO CAMERON HIGHLANDS

So, how do we get to Cameron Highlands from Kuala Lumpur? The only access to the highlands is by road. It takes roughly about 3.5 - 4 hours drive from KL. There are basically 3 ways of getting there; (a) by bus, (b) booking a tour or (c) driving yourself.

(a) Taking a Bus
From TBS, (Terminal Bersepadu Selatan) in Kuala Lumpur to Tanah Rata, Cameron Highlands.
One-way tickets cost about RM 35
If you book online through the RedBus website (www.redbus.my), there’s even an option to pick your seats and insurance coverage. (We're not sponsored but Redbus is the one that we frequently use for our travels)

(b) Booking a tour
Hassle-free
Most tour packages include transportation, a full-day itinerary, and an English-speaking tour guide. You can also approach your hotels and tourist information centers for more information.

(c) Driving
There are 2 main routes to get there from the North-South Expressway.
Option 1: by taking the Tapah Exit 132/Route 59. It is a shorter route hence faster but the road is very windy and narrow.
Option 2: by taking the Simpang Pulai Exit 137/Route 185 (which is the route that we took). It is a slightly longer route, but the road is much straighter and more comfortable to drive on. Highly recommend especially if you have motion sickness. (30 minutes longer)


3. WHERE TO STAY IN CAMERON HIGHLANDS

There are 2 main areas in Cameron Highlands that the majority of the hotels are located; Tanah Rata and Brinchang.

Tanah Rata:
Main administrative town, there are many shops, banks, tour agents, eateries and a bus terminal, which is where the buses from KL would stop. It is more commercialized here compared to Brinchang.

Brinchang:
Second largest town after Tanah Rata. You’ll find the main center of Brinchang more densely developed compared to Tanah Rata with many apartments, shophouses and public buildings clustered closely together. There’s also the other side of Brinchang that’s closer to farms, tourist attractions, and nature.

Overall, there is a wide range of accommodations available in Cameron Highlands; you can find anything from budget homestays to mid-range and luxury hotels with a golf course attached to it. Some places even offer unique experiences like colonial-era bungalows, mini chalets, and a farm stay.


4. CAMERON HIGHLANDS TRAVEL TIPS:
#1 The Weather/Seasons
very windy and cold especially morning and night. We do suggest bringing along a jacket.
sunny at noon, do apply sunscreen

#2 Traffic Jams & Peak Periods
Can get crowded and traffic jams are very common, especially during weekends, school holidays and festive seasons.

#3 Stay Duration
A day trip would be enough to cover the main attractions, whereas at least staying a night or two is preferred for a more relaxed trip.
