Cameron Highlands Hotels Reservation including - Smokehouse Hotel, Lake House Hotel, Strawberry Park Resort Hotel, Merlin Inn Hotel, Equatorial Hill Resort Hotel, Heritage Hotel and Tanah Rata Hotels.
Equatorial 4 star Hotel Cameron Highlands is nestled atop a hill 1,628 meters above sea level offering magnificent views of lush green valleys, terraced farms, rolling hills and majestic mountains. Besides the splendid view, the altitude provides refreshing and invigorating air, ensuring a pleasant spring-like climate throughout the year.
The Cameron Highlands are well known because of its tea plantations. You can visit the tea factories to see the process of tea production and some have shops where you can drink and buy tea. But in this cool climate tea is not the only thing to grow on the highlands. On its fertile soil also grow: fruits and vegetables like tomato, cauliflower and cabbage, roses and fresh strawberries. Sometimes they call it: Malaysia's 'Green Bowl'.
Cameron Highlands is a highland region located about 20 km east of Ipoh and about 150km north of Kuala Lumpur in Pahang, Malaysia. At 5000 ft (1,500 m) above sea level it is the highest area on the mainland, and enjoys a cool climate, with temperatures no higher than 25°C and rarely falling below 6°C year round. The Highlands were named after William Cameron, a British colonial government surveyor who discovered the plateau during a mapping expedition in 1885.
The fame of Cameron Highlands grew during the colonial era when British planters realised the potential of its fertile mountain slopes for growing tea, then a prized commodity. The Cameron Highlands are still home to many tea plantations, being Malaysia's largest tea-producing region.
One of the wonders of Malaysia, Cameron Highlands is the largest and most famous hill resort in the country. This highland paradise still retains much of the charm of an English village. Cameron Highlands is the smallest district in the state of Pahang which is located in the north-western corner of the state.
