Experience travel at Cameron highland

      Everyone in the world have an experience about a travel, I have many experience travel with my friend, my family and my siblings. But for this time I want to share about my experience travel at Cameron Highlands with my family. That we know in Cameron Highlands can be fun, educational and relaxing, but tourists should plan their visit ahead. Tourist should take in consideration the time taken when caught in the traffic jam in this popular tourist destination during weekends, public holidays and school holidays.

     Last week ago, my parents planned to vacation at Cameron Highland and my sibling and I agree to trip at Cameron Highlands. It takes six hours travelling from Pasir Mas to Brinchang using the road Gua Musang. Our journey was smooth all the way, until the stretch from Brinchang to Tanah Rata.We was stuck for about an hour along this stretch. Apart from that, the drivers slowing down in search of parking space for their cars was yet another contributor to the jam. One of the reasons could be the drivers and their passengers could still take in the sights of the hustle and bustle of the little towns in the highlands and the beautiful blooms along the way.

      Holiday mood was in the air with many small shops lining the narrow roads; selling vegetables, fruits, flowers and souvenirs. The weather was cool, probably due to the slight drizzle. Cameron Highlands is not as cold as it used to be in the past. If you want to vacation here, you must make early bookings, you are not likely to get much choice for accommodation during peak times- weekends, public holidays and school holidays. If you want to have a relaxing time, including a good night’s sleep, you have to check out the location of the hotels and apartments. Well, those which are located along the main roads are obviously noisy. For those who love to browse shops and visit night markets, Brinchang is a good place, provided the weather was fine. We stayed in an apartment in Brinchang and it is walking distance to the shopping area and restaurants.

      For first place here we went, we visit to the Boh Tea plantation. The tea company was founded in 1929 and covers three plantations or tea gardens as they are known.  These are Fairly Tea Garden, Habu Tea Garden (which was the first garden) and the Sungai Palas Tea Garden.   The travel across these plantations offer views that are breathtaking, as visitors make their way through rolling hills on narrow hillside roads.

       That we know, Cameron Highland's cool temperatures are conducive to plant a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. Farms are located across the highlands' main towns, starting from Ringlet right up to Brinchang. Visitors are encouraged to head to Tringkap or Kuala Terla to have a look at the larger vegetable farms which grow crops like cabbage, cauliflower and spinach. Cameron Highlands also boasts large strawberry farms, so be sure to stop by the Big Red Strawberry Farm, also known as Taman Agro Tourism Cameron Highlands to hand-pick strawberries or enjoy some freshly made strawberry ice-cream. This beautiful hill station also offers travellers a chance to explore flower farms, located in the Bertam Valley, Kampung Raja, The Blue Valley and Habu area.  Many varieties of daisies, roses and chrysanthemums thrive in this environment.

      Last day at here, we went at Butterfly farm if your family and nature lovers can enjoy the butterfly farm where several species of this colorful insect live. It is essentially a garden built on a hill slope, and known to be one of the older tourist attractions in the area.  The Butterfly Farm is located close to the famous Kea Farm, about 3km from Brinchang. Among the highlights of this farm are free-flying butterflies, a tortoise pen and a mini insectarium. Open daily: tickets are between RM2 and RM5, with a free guided tour when available. That all, our group member’s experience travel in Malaysia or other country in the world. Not forget, to our lecture Madam Solehah binti Nawawi for always support us to study and give us to create a group’s blogger and share about our experience travel at here, Thank you.
