Cameron Highlands

The Time Tunnel is Malaysia's first memorabilia "museum". It is recognised as one of the main attractions of the Cameron Highlands. The galleria is filled with objects de art that showcase what life was like in Malaysia after the Japanese occupation. Apart from collectibles and memorabilia, there is also an assortment of old photographs on display here – most dating back to the post-war years. The "museum" is open daily from 9AM-6PM. There are no restrictions to photography at the gallery. The entrance fee is RM5 for adults and RM3 for children. There is ample parking available at the complex.

Research and educational center. Mardi is home to 40 varieties of roses, 10 strawberries, 100 citrus fruits and exhibits a rich collection of hydroponic technique for agriculture. There are a couple of cafes inside. Trail 5 starts here.

All three estates are worth a visit. Here you can see how roses are grown.

Located next to each other with similar exhibitions of many butterfly and insect species to see. Very interesting is insect garden, where a friendly staff takes the insect off and you can take photos with the leaf insect, stick insect and other creatures on your hand. There are no restrictions to photography. The entrance fee is RM5 for adults and RM3 for children.

An interesting dam and to its feet an impressive rainforest hillside. If you have the chance to take this detour, do it!

The Ringlet to Sungai Koyan road is a particular picturesque mountain road, which starts with countless greenhouses and quickly changes into rainforest covered hills of immense beauty and colour, which form to be gradles for soft fog clouds being trapped among them.

The peak at 2,032 m, which can be reached by walking 'Trail 1' from Brinchang. There are conflicting reports on whether the trailhead is open or closed, and one visitor in April 2019 mentioned that there is a mudslide that requires some crawling to detour around. The walk to the top normally takes 2-2½ hr. It is an easy path to follow if you know how to look for colored ribbons, and it is perfectly possible to do this trek without a guide. The trek is not very steep but you need to be in decent shape. Gunung Brinchang is a part of the most popular tours so expect to find lots of tourists at the top. After reaching the top, follow the road for another 6 km down to reach the main road, where you will find the 'boh' tea plantation. From there you can take the hourly bus back to Brinchang. As of July 2019, the government has closed the trail and is guiding visitors to the commercial mossy forest. Some hikers are continuing to find their way in. On the top it’s closed off with a gate, so you either have to walk up as the same route down, or climb the gate (with barbed wire).

The trail merges later with Trail 3. Quite steep and not well indicated.

The Gunung Berembun at 1,840 m is overgrown and offers little view over the valley. Still the trail is wide and clearly defined. It takes you through the jungle with a couple of stream crossings. The end near the summit is a bit steep. I would advise reaching Gunung Berembun via trail 7 and come down via trail 3 as trail 7 is much more difficult and step than trail 3. A round trip from trail 7 to trail 3 takes about 4 hr.

Easy and mostly paved trail to the Parit Waterfall, though as of May 2019 there were a few small fallen trees across the path. The river and the waterfall are nothing to write about except that they are filled with garbage. Can be a nicer way than the road to go back to Tanah Rata after Trail 3. A small part of the trail looping around the waterfall is closed due to a damaged footbridge at the Cameron Highlands Montane Park, but you can just take the other way (to the left of the closed bridge if you're coming through the park).

Trail 5 merges with Trail 3 on the way up to Gunung Berembun or down to the golf course.

There seem to be two different trails called Trail 6, both labeled as such on OpenStreetMap. The one on tourist maps runs between Bharat Tea Plantation and the summit of Gunung Jasar, but the maps themselves say it's not well marked. A trekker's note at the junction with Trail 10 points the way and says it takes about 2 hours to hike down to the tea plantation, but doesn't call the trail No. 6. Official trail signs, on the other hand, also use "Path No. 6" to refer to the trail linking the Forestry Department to Trail 3 east of Tanah Ratah. This trail seems to be better, though we only had time to try a part of it.

The first 300 m are very overgrown (watch out for ticks). Later the path widen and become very pleasant and well marked. The end is steep until it merges with trail 3 to the summit.

Very difficult trail (climb?) until it merges with trail 3 and 7 to the summit of Gunung Berembun.

This trail is not recommended as robberies have been reported in 2016 (stopped apparently in 2017?) See #Stay Safe for more information.

Day hike. Takes you through an ancient mossy forest (~1½ hr to Jasar). As of May 2019, the trail to the summit is open, though you apparently need to walk across the cement at the base of the radio tower to pick the trail back up on the other side (to your right). After the summit, the trail continues northeast along a ridge (right along the boundary between Pahang and Perak states, in fact, as testified to by official markers along the path) and drops you at a power station, where you have to walk around the outside edge of the fence to get to the road. It's a bit of a walk to get back to town.

The first half of the trail to the summit is wide and easy to follow, except for the confusing part near the radio tower, but has some quite steep sections (no ropes or climbing necessary, just scrambling up tree roots). The second half, from the summit to the power station, isn't steep but does have some narrower, semi-overgrown parts. There are also a few potentially-confusing forks in the path here, but pay attention to the markers other hikers have left and you should be fine. Near the end there is a side path leading steeply down to the right, marked with two yellow ribbons, which may or may not be a worthwhile shortcut down to the power station.

This trail was closed due to landslides in 2017, but it is open and fully walkable. It can be walked from beginning until the end, even though OsmAnd or Mapy.cz say you can’t. Not a very scenic hike though.

It is closed for construction developments.

Gunung Irau is the highest peak of the Cameron Highlands. The trail takes you through the Mossy forest. Can be very challenging and muddy after rainfalls. The track has been closed since 7 Feb 2018 due to landslides.

Camping overnight at Gunung Irau, one of the highest peaks next to Gunung Brinchang. All camping gear will be provided and the tour is guided.

For those who prefer to do jungle trekking with a guided tour and travel by 4WD Land Rover. See the largest flower in the world, Rafflesia is the flower of an endangered species of parasitic plant, often nicknamed the corpse flower due to its rather pungent odor. Itinerary includes visiting an aboriginal village to try out a blow-pipe. Please book in advance and check for Rafflesia availability as the flower is seasonal).

Explore the mossy rainforest. Hiking activities start from Tanah Rata/Brinchang/Kg.Raja. Experience a 4WD ride to trail head and an overnight stay in the jungle.

This is a beautiful although quite challenging 18-hole course with tricky greens and terrain. Like most of Malaysia however, it could benefit from cleaning up some of the garbage in certain areas, such as the steams. If you require them, a pretty decent range of golf clubs are available to hire for RM70 at the club house.
