Chilling in Malaysia's cool Cameron Highlands

I rolled into the hill town of Tenah Rata after a long bus trip from tropical Penang and the cool breeze told me right away why this place is so popular-even if it weren’t tucked into a countryside of incredible beauty.
This is the Cameron Highlands, where tea plantations and ancient cloud forests offer welcome relief year-round from the heat and humidity of the Malaysian tropics.
The town itself, while pleasant, isn’t intended to be charming. It’s all about what’s around it, including tea plantations (among which the Boh plantation is the nation's largest), cloud forests and a choice of trails from which one can immediately hike from the town through lush forests past rushing streams and waterfalls.
This is my last stop in Malaysia before heading back to Kuala Lumpur to fly to the northern tip of Sumatra at Banda Aceh to begin a new series of videos from Indonesia.

Thank you so much, Ron. This is a beautiful video that makes me feel like you are belong to this place. I hope Cameron Highland remains as it is.I quickly recall being in Cameron Highland in the 1980s. It was a small town in Tanah Rata. Now days, the neighborhood has transformed into a commercial hotspot with more traffic, buildings and tourist attractions. I hope the Malaysian government will put forward a truly plan to protect the future of this beautiful land. Thank you again for coming to Malaysia; take care of your health and have a safe journey to Sumatera. You will always be a part of this tiny country, and we love you from Malaysia.❤

Yes I avoided the deluge. Kind of a storybook ending to my hike after I was fully expecting to get drenched! 😀

Such a lovely and verdant forest. Providence certainly steeped and saved you from a good drenching. Safe travels Ron. I look forward to your series from Sumatra.
