In August, my husband and I visited Tanah Rata in the Cameron Highlands, Malaysia, and it was an unforgettable experience. The town’s lush greenery, cool climate, and picturesque landscapes were absolutely enchanting.
One highlight of our trip was visiting a Bharat tea plantation. We met the owner, an Indian gentleman, who warmly welcomed us and shared fascinating stories about tea cultivation and the plantation's history. Our conversation with him was enriching and added a personal touch to our visit.
We enjoyed freshly brewed tea at the plantation’s tea house, overlooking the serene tea fields. The cool mountain air and tranquil surroundings made for a perfect afternoon.
Beyond the plantation, Tanah Rata offered charming local markets, delicious cuisine, and scenic walking trails. The colonial architecture and vibrant flora added to its appeal.
Getting to Tanah Rata was easy with a 4-5 hour bus ride from Kuala Lumpur. The scenic drive through winding roads provided stunning views of the highlands. The weather was pleasantly cool, with temperatures ranging from 15°C to 25°C, making it ideal for outdoor activities.
Our visit to Tanah Rata was truly memorable, enriched by the beautiful landscapes and warm hospitality. Meeting the tea plantation owner was a delightful highlight. I highly recommend Tanah Rata for anyone looking to experience the natural beauty and cultural richness of the...
Read moreWe took the Plus Highway to Cameron Highlands from Seremban. It was about 4.30 hours journey to reach Cameron Highlands.
We took a rest in Century Pines Resort for an hour. My daughter already booked earlier to stay 1 night and 2 days in this Hotel. Then we proceed to a look at few farms nearby. At night went to night market near to our resort. Many of them are selling thier own farm produts.

Then proceed to other farms including the strawberry farm. On the way back took lunch in Ringlet town and then proceed to the famous Lata Iskandar waterfall in Cameron highlands. No entrance fee and free parking. It was...
Read moreDirty café with swarm of flies everywhere perching on plates, cups, and the visitor. The tables and chairs were soiled and sticky and not fit for dining in. Their mushroom soup is a big let-down with cold and diluted water with some cold clumpy cream misplaced in the soup. The spaghetti is another pathetic sight where the water is not drained from the packaging when the reheating was done. The water residual was obviously present around the spaghetti which made it not to the standard of human consumption. And we paid a cutthroat overzealous price for a 3rd class food prepared by unscrupulous profit-making group. This place is pretty much overrated and better take a detour to Boh plantation for your next visit. and My suggestion to the leadership team; please come down in undercover and experience the food tasting and the...
