Cameron Highlands is among the most popular highland retreats in Malaysia. It's very vast and much much bigger then Genting Highlands, more like a city in itself and for this reason it has plenty of open, natural spaces, valleys, farms, hills, and wonderful scenic spots to enjoy the mother nature in its raw form.
Cameron Highlands is best known for its scenic tea plantations and visitors are not only allowed to visit these plantations, but they also have beautiful viewpoints and cafe/restaurants where they can enjoy the tea, snacks and other beverages. The famous tea plantation viewpoints include:
- Boh Tea Plantation (Boh Estate, Factory, Plantation & Viewpoint)
- Tea House 1
- Tea House 2
- Tea House 3
The best natural experience and viewpoint is at Boh Tea Plantation, but to reach the viewpoint, you have to climb up some 70+ stair steps up the hill. The stair steps are carved out of un-even rocks and can be dangerous for elderly and small children. Once you reach up the hill, you'll be able to witness the whole valley around, a 360 degree view of plantations on all the hills around and in between beautifully looking wooden huts and cattle ranches. The entrance to Boh Tea Plantation Viewpoint is free. However, if you want to take a tour of Boh Factory and witness the tea making process then there's a fee for that.
If you are accompanying elderly or small children, then we recommend visiting Tea House 2, which has the second best experience after Boh.
