Father's Guesthouse
Tanah Rata
,
Malaysia
I've stayed two days in Tamah Rata. Some words to my accommodation there, because it was very nice there and all people were very kind.
Father's Guesthouse in Tamah Rata (http://fathers.cameron
Highlands
.com). You find there a very kind stuff and a lot of Backpackers. Especially if you are travelling by yourself, this is a good place for staying at the
Cameron Highlands
.
Some impressions:

Through the Cameron Highlands
Cameron Highlands
,
Malaysia
Today I made a guided tour to the Gunung Brinchang, the Mossy Forrest and the BOH tea factory.
Normally I avoid to use packaged tours, because they are focussed on general tourist points. I was really thrilled from this tour (made by Cameron Secrets,
http://www.cameronsecrets.com/
).
The way went through the tea plantages of the
Cameron Highlands
:

The tea trees here are very short (shorter than the original plant): They have grown accordingly by the farmers for better reaping the tea.

The first stop was at the Gunung Brinchang, the highest mountain in the
Cameron Highlands
(2.032 m). Unfortunately it is currently very cloudy here and so we haven't seen anything (except fog everywhere).
Near this point we entered the Mossy Forrest, a rainforest totally based on a bed of moss. The moss is the place for the roots of the plants as well as a reservoir for the water.

My conclusion after two days staying here: The
Cameron Highlands
are one more absolute amazing place in Malaysia.
