Terror Treking
This is a top pick! ... if we carried on downhill we probably would not reach civilisation before nightfall as we were heading in the wrong direction for Brinchang. Without a machete to cut our way across to get back on a correct heading for Brinchang we were only really left ...
A nice cup of tea and a sit down
This is a top pick! ... respite from the heat at sea level. The land is carved out of the fertile jungle that still makes up some 60% of Malaysia. It's mainly put to use supplying Malaysia with vegetables, grown on steep terraces lining the hills. The other major crop here is ...
I will walk 500 miles...
This is a top pick! Got to the bus station early enough to have a roti and dhal breakfast. After fighting for about 10 mins with the vendor about what i was going to eat (i just wanted a plain roti, he said he couldn't do that, only filled roti, that doesn't make sense, to ...
Cameron Highlands......
This is a top pick! ... we helped them out twice, something to do with Indonesia, communism, and trouble when Malaya and the other countries became collectively Malaysia. They always seem to like telling us and we like listening so beats reading a book. He also told us about ...
Walking in the hills,a gentle stroll..maybe not...
This is a top pick! ... something we can tick off the list and maybe that's that itch done with, but it was worth every minute, good fun. Gunung Brinchang, mount, at 2032m down to roughly somewhere at 1500 from what I can gather on the internet, in more or less 2km, not ...
Time to cool off!
... gave respite to the hotter costal regions the Cameron Highlands now produces lots of fruit and is the main area for tea production in Malaysia. We have had tea and scones, and eaten strawberries, it's all been rather British - a good reminder of old ...
Gua Tempurung Caves
... here for a visit, we were astonished by the size and beauty of this cave. This is one of the largest caves on Peninsula Malaysia stretching between the towns of Gopeng and Kampar, about 120m in height and over 400million years old. Best be there in the ...
Jungle bugs
Went for a long jungle walk today, by ourselves. It turned into a bit of an ordeal with giant cenitpedes, washed out paths, lack of signs and totally inadequate maps. Cheryl came half way to a main road and then caught the bus back. Graham presed on ...
Day 96: Tanah Rata
Another day, another trail, but this one disappoints. Signs to Trails 10 and 11 up the peak of Gunung Jasar are few and mostly absent. After some struggles, dead ends and useless enquiries, Eva and I find the steep trail, but this ends in confusion and a ...
Day 94: Penang to Tanah Rata
I'm heading into the Cameron Highlands for Xmas and a couple of days trekking. The hills are densely forested so it's more obvious when logging, developments and roads cut into the landscape. Towards Tanah Rata the bus grinds to a halt, struggling more ...
Tanah Rata, Cameron Highlands
The Cameron Highlands is a lovely place to be. At times it felt like we were back home in the English Coutryside. It was a whole lot cooler due to the altitude, enought to need a jumper again. During our few days we visited a Bee farm, two ...
RAIN forest
Tanah Rata, Malaysia. Cameron Highlands. Part of the 130 million year old tropical rainforest. It's quite beautiful. I have to say, even though it's in the rain forest, I didn't think it would rain quite so much. Especially since The dry season was ...
Cameron Highlands
It was so great to be out of the heat for a bit. And that is clearly the greatesst attraction of the Highlands. Nice spring temperature, perfect. The other attraction is hiking. Keen sportsmen as we are, we therefore signed up straight away for an ...
Day 95: Tanah Rata
Most backpackers head to the Highlands for the trails - 12 or so paths through the forest. I opt for Trail 7, pegged as one of the more strenuous. Before I reach it, I bump into Eva from Germany, struggling to find Trail 9A and end up joining her. The ...
An Aborigine Funeral
In the oldest rainforests in the world, deep in the North of peninsular Malaysia, a small # of aborigines conduct their ways of life. They are nomads by nature, moving from one part of the rainforest to another. When a village member dies, ...
Highlands Tea and Cake
AFter a four hour bus journey, 2 of these on hairpin bends, we've arrived in Cameron Highlands - an old hill station where the tea plantations are and loads of jungle trails. It is a lot cooler, thank goodness, but pouring with rain at the moment! Just ...
High Tea Break
Got the tourist bus again, said our goodbyes to the girls, chatted to a South African couple and were offered sweets by a French father whos children didn't like them as they were too spicy (they had many issues with Malaysian food!) Cameron highlands ...
Tea & scones in the Cameron Highlands
Well, technically Tanah Rata (not Brinchang) but Travelpod couldn't place the map pin and they'e near-as-dammit the same ...
Excursion campagnarde
Hello a tous, Comme promis on ne s'arrete pas en cours de route. Nous voici de retour pour un second jour de visites guidees. Cette fois-ci on est sense adopter un rythme plus paisible, car il s'agit de visiter une ferme a abeille, une ferme de roses, ...
Cameron High-tea-lands.
... taxi to Brinchang the nearby town wanting to capture a photo of the most surprising illuminated plastic cacti. Brinchang..... weird, more strawberry paraphernalia than you could jam into a large aircraft hanger, key rings, ...
Walk... Pah, hell more like it!
... was good as it was getting it over with quicker, but jesus it was hard. Claire said "just think about it, you're trekking in Malaysia, when are you going to get to do that again?" and that really did help thanks Claire. Think if you hadn't said that there ...
Cameron Highlands
Arrived quite late last night and found ourselves in a very basic but very fun hostel (Daniel's Lodge) Loads of travellers and a really nice bonfire out the back with guitars! A good night! Got up early this morning to go on a tour which took us to the ...
Erdbeeren und Petersilie
... , wirft heute der Tag schon früh die seinigen voraus. Mit dem Bus gehts ins wenige Kilometer entfernte Brinchang. Der freundliche junge Mann hinterm Steuer - nebenberuflich Trekking-Guide für das umliegende Hochland - macht mit seinen ...

To start of it's more than 2 weeks later,and so many things has happened on a way that it will be more of brief description of past events :) .Expect it to be a bit more boring ,or best process straight to pictures. We went to our favorite ...
