Travel: Malaysia - Cameron Highlands

[Eagle-Ladybird]

Hi jsmum,


It's a long journey if you drive all the way from Singapore.

But if you fly to KL (1 hr flight) and drive another 2-2.5 hrs; or fly to Ipoh (1.5 hr flight) and drive less than 1 hr - you're there ! :lol:

Yes, Ddecember can be wet, and that's why we try to get there a little earlier - mid Nov and hopefully drier and yet quite cool at night

Flying to KL will be the cheapest thru budget airline. Then renting a car from the airport to Cameron. Firefly to Ipoh is so expensive (perhaps only airline direct to Ipoh that's why). I hope budget airlines will soon come out with a more competitive rate to Ipoh. There are so much good food and attractions in Ipoh

Wah, a lot of people are going to Cameron heh. In our previous trips, we have stayed in a bungalow and Casa dela Rosa.


I must say that the bungalow experience is the best - fantastic lifestyle. It comes with a highly skilled cook (one of those hainanese cooks, who can whipped up a good english breakfast, scorns for tea and a sumptuos chinese meal in the evening type) - luv it.

Anyway, we're making a trip again this mid Nov. Could not get a bungalow though. So we're booked for Century Pines - supposedly renovated. Let's see

Yes Nani and eyktay. Now where do I start :?


On the way there, I took the Simpang Pulai exit. On the way back, i tried the old Tapah way.

The hotel that we stayed in, Century Pines, is quite alright, clean and convenient enough for us. We are fortunate with the weather as we got couple of dry days, and we managed to cover all the places that we wanted to go.

According to the locals, the week when we're there were the best week in terms of traffic. Apparently traffic gets quite bad (unbearable during peak period, starting next week).

Otherwise, weather was fantastic (very cool. In fact, it becomes quite cold at night).
