Nature

Before strawberry farms and tea plantations, Cameron Highlands was an untouched valley lined with virgin rainforest, home to the Orang Asli and a destination for intrepid explorers in search of adventure. Today, much of the land lies wasted in the name of tourist development, but there are still many nature attractions for visitors to discover, and jungle trekking remains one of the most popular activities in Cameron Highlands. Most of these trails lead up to the peak of mountains from Tanah Rata town, the difficulty depending on the length, terrain and weather conditions.

Each path is officially tagged with a number, and this can be viewed from any of the tourist maps of Cameron Highlands sold in town. On any these trails, visitors can hope to see some of Malaysia's exciting wildlife, including animals such as colourful birds, shy monkeys, squirrels and a myriad of insects. The highland forest environments are also worthy sights on their own.
