2025 Cameron Highlands Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in August)

Have you ever dreamed of wandering through a misty, enchanted forest like something out of a fantasy novel? Then the Mossy Forest in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia, is the place to go. It is deemed as the oldest forest in Malaysia. Suspended in the clouds at over 2,000 meters above sea level, this magical ecosystem is one of the most surreal and otherworldly places we’ve ever visited. What Is the Mossy Forest? The Mossy Forest is a natural cloud forest located near to the summit of Mount Brinchang, one of the highest peaks in the region. Constantly shrouded in mist, the forest is cool, damp, and teeming with moss-covered trees, twisting vines, rare orchids, ferns, and exotic insects. It’s like walking into a living, breathing jungle straight out of a dream. Getting There You can reach the forest by car or guided tour from Tanah Rata or Brinchang. Also you can take a local bus to the turnoff to the forest and hike up for 6 km. It's a tough walk for those who like hiking like us. The road passes through iconic tea plantations. The final stretch to the forest entrance is a steep, narrow mountain road. What to Expect There’s a wooden boardwalk trail that winds through the forest, making it accessible even if you’re not a hardcore hiker. As you walk, you'll feel like you're floating through the trees — sometimes you literally are! The moss hangs from every branch, and the cool air feels like a refreshing contrast to the lowlands. Don’t forget to look out for: Pitcher plants (some of which are carnivorous!) Wild orchids Tiny critters and colorful fungi Best Time to Visit Try to go in the morning when the sky is clearer and crowds are smaller. Rain is common, so pack a light raincoat and wear non-slip shoes — the boardwalk can get slippery. Travel Tips Wear layers: It’s chilly up there! Make sure to have good hiking shoes Combine your visit with a trip to BOH Tea Plantation, just nearby. Final Thoughts The Mossy Forest is one of the most unique ecosystems in Malaysia — and maybe in all of Southeast Asia. It’s quiet, mysterious, and deeply peaceful. Whether you're a nature lover, photographer, or just someone looking to disconnect and breathe in cool mountain air, this is a place you won’t forget. #mossyforest #orchid #cameronhighlands #MalaysiaNature #cloudforest #tripmoments #malaysia #nature

🗓 Day 1 – Garden Vibes & Night Market Fun After arriving in the afternoon, we started with a visit to one of the colorful flower gardens — bright blooms, fresh air, and cute spots to take photos. In the evening, we went to the Cameron Night Market (Golden Hills). It was lively and full of local snacks, souvenirs, and cozy street vibes. A nice way to end the day! --- 🗓 Day 2 – Tea Views & Chill Exploring This day was all about tea! We visited BOH Tea Plantation and Cameron Valley Tea Farm — both offered stunning views of the green hills and peaceful surroundings. Just walking through the plantations and enjoying the cool wind felt refreshing. We also dropped by small shops and scenic points along the way. It was slow, relaxing, and beautiful. --- 🗓 Day 3 – Morning Market & Heading Home Before leaving, we visited a morning market — lots of fresh vegetables, flowers, and local snacks. The vibe was calm and local. After that, it was time to drive back — but the whole trip felt longer (in a good way) because of how peaceful everything was. --- Cameron Highlands is perfect if you just want to breathe fresh air, enjoy nature, and take it slow. You don’t need to rush — just enjoy the cool weather, green views, and simple things. #travel #myitinerary #malaysia #cameronhighland

Kmah@parkland at Cameron highland is a newly opened glamping spot, it is the most luxurious glamping experience I ever had! The whole area is so spacious and they only have one glamping spot, and it’s all yours! This place is ideal for family, it can accommodate 4-5 pax. This place comes with 2 single beds and a double bed, the best part is that it comes with extra blanket as well! This place is so beautiful, feel like I’m surrounded by the nature, there’s even a rooftop Jaccuzi. Unfortunately the Jaccuzi wasn’t working so well when we stayed it, it was unable to adjust the temperature so it was freezing cold at night, but nonetheless it was still an amazing experience. They also provided a steamboat pot and bbq pit, they will set up the bbq pit for you, just tell them when are you planning to start the bbq and they will arrange it for you. There’s free breakfast as well, not the best but it was a decent breakfast. Overall we LOVE this place, would highly recommend to you if you’re visiting Cameron highland next time :)

It’s a phenomenal sight to behold. I’m glad that I come here. Firstly, you can’t drive straight up to flora park. You gotta go to the flora park parking and there will be a designated truck to drive you up. There are indoor and outdoor area. The whole place is ginormous and you could spend easily 3-4 hours here. There is one cafe called The Views themed glass house where you can enjoy their main course / garden series dessert. We ordered Homemade strawberry tiramisu (rm35) and mossy forest cake rm22 (which is essentially chocolate chiffon cake). The presentation is fantastic but the taste of cake is so-so. We too ordered their Japanese curry chicken katsu (rm24), it’s delicious.

#malaysia Mossy Forest is the second highest peak in Cameron Highland. To get here, we need to hire a 4 Wheel Drive vehicle as the road is narrow. The moment we walk into the forest we felt like in the Lord of the Ring Movie scene. The trees, the layers of moss , flora and fauna is so unique and exotic. The wood deck is slippery so makesure to wear a proper shoes. Bring a wind breaker as well as its quite cold and foggy . The highlight of our tour is the 360 view from the observation deck. It is breathtaking and will always be my favourite. 4WD fee : RM35/person Entrance fee : RM10/person #awesomepic #mossyforest #Jungletrekking

I left feeling refreshed and inspired, grateful for the moments of tranquility and natural beauty that Cameron Floral Park had shared with me. #wheretogo
