Overview
A British surveyor called William Cameron discovered the Highlands in 1885 and brought back praise of "this fine plateau with gentle slopes shut in by 'lofty mountains'" to his Government. Then Sir Hugh Low, a Resident in Malaya suggested Cameron Highlands as a resort for "health, pleasure, gardening or farming purposes". 41 years after William Cameron had sung its beauty to the world, Cameron Highlands received its first step towards the resplendent glory that we see today.

Roads were constructed, reservations zoned, cottages and hotels built, recreation areas and parks planned, vegetable and fruit farms tilled and tea plantations experimented with. It is said 'that the Highlands' first holiday-maker came in the form of wealthy Chinese businessman who sought the solitude of the hills by building a mansion for the seasonal visits. With the building of rest-houses and hotels, numerous British civil servants stationed in Malaya flocked here, taking to the cool weather as if they were back home in England. 

When the second World War broke out, the Highlands saw no more visitors except for holidaying Japanese officials at various rest houses/bungalows during the Japanese Occupation of Malaya. When peace returned to the country, so did holiday-makers, tourists and lovers of wild beauty and cool hills of this Utopia.

It is here that the legendary 'Thai Silk King' Jim Thompson, mysteriously disappeared in the forests, hence and beauty, mystery and the adventure Cameron Highlands promises. Nature created the beauteousness of Cameron Highlands. A refuge tucked away in the North East of the Pahang mountains, a rendezvous for never-ending pleasures of the senses of the mine. To see, smell, hear and touch the loveliness of Cameron Highlands is to harmonise with the purity of Mother Nature.

Activities
Adventure and Eco Tours:
Countryside Tour
Since the discovery of the Cameron Highlands by William Cameron in 1885, the highlands have not only been transformed into a farming land and a retreat for the wealthy Chinese businessman but has also become the most popular destination for local and foreign holiday makers alike. In 1929, John Archibald Russell a Scottish, was the first person to be granted a piece of land to cultivate tea in this region. Today, his company Boh Plantations is the biggest tea grower in Malaysia. This half-day tour will take you to one of his tea plantations to watch the processing of black tea and later to sample various kind of tea in the tea house. After the tea break we will visit our local fruit and vegetable market, an apiary farm, Butterfly garden, Chinese Buddhist temple, Cactus and Flower gardens and lastly a Strawberry farm.
Departure 9.00 am and 3.00 pm 
Duration half-day 

Hill Forest Walk
Malaysia’s highland forests offer some of the most breathtaking scenery and diverse flora and fauna in Malaysia. Our highland forests are a treasure trove of vibrantly colourful birds, delicate orchids, ferns, palms, mosses, fungi, wild ginger plants and cool, lush mountain peaks. But they are more than just a pretty picture- they perform essential ecological functions that keep our environment healthy and clean.
Cameron Highlands is blessed with many trails dotted around the highlands. Some are for soft core and some for hard core trekkers. Even though there are some easy trails that you can walk on your own, it is always advisable to engage a local guide. This short guided walk from Arcadia bungalow to Mardi station in Tanah Rata will enable you to explore the differences between our hill and lowland forests.
Departure 9.00 am 
Duration 2 - 3 hours 

Mossy Forest Walk
Mosses and liverworts are commonly regarded as useless. Although they do not have direct economic value, they are important in many other respects. They play an important role for the water balance of ecosystems in the forests and bogs by storing large amounts of water. In tropical montane rainforests they function as huge reservoirs, supplying water to the streams and rivers in a balanced manner throughout the year. Mosses and liverworts do not only store water like a sponge but also prevents erosion by fixing the uppermost layer of soil, especially in steep slopes. Just like every organism, mosses and liverworts have certain functions in the ecosystems such as providing micro-habitats for small animals, germination of seeds or food for certain beetles. This 2 hours walk to Gunung Brinchang at 6,666ft. above sea level will allow you to discover how the mossy forest plays its part in providing us with the water upon which we depend on water that is clean and mountain fresh. The return journey will take us through carpets of manicured tea bushes where some of the best black tea is produced. After a guided tour to the processing factory, refreshments will be served at the Boh tea house.
Departure 9.00 am 
Duration Half-day 

Asli Village Tour
Cameron Highlands are known for the high population of natives still living in the forests. In the early sixties, some of them have been re-settled by the government to the new area of their choice. To improve their standard of living, the government has not only supplied their settlement with water and electricity but also helped them to find jobs in the government and private sectors. Unfortunately, there are still a number of them who do not wish to be re-settled because they do not want to trade in their peace and quiet for the hustle and bustle of bigger towns or developed areas. This 4x4 tour will take you to some of these settlements where some inhabitants who seek job opportunities in the towns   or farms but still prefer to live in harmony with their natural environment.
Departure 9.00 am 
Duration Full-day 

Survival Village Walk
After the Second World War in 1945, a new war erupted in Malaya. The communist terrorists who had been trained and armed by the British forces to fight against the Japanese army have decided to take over Malaya through armed revolution. A state of Emergency was declared in 1948. The Malayan Emergency which lasted from 1948-1960 was in fact one of the acts of the Cold War. The communists had wanted to set up a communist state at a very strategic point in South East Asia. The British however were successful in crushing the rebellion which was a contrast to the American experience in Vietnam. This walk will take you to the "village" where you can learn and explore how the communist terrorists survived in the thick jungles of our tropical rainforests.
Departure 9.00 am 
Duration Half-day 

Kg. Tiat Discovery 
This is probably one of the most exciting overnight tour for those who wish to seek an added adventure. Our fully equipped 4x4 will take you deep into the montane tropical rainforest to visit the settlements of the highland natives – the Semais. This settlement is situated in the most remote part of the forests and the access is only by foot or 4x4. We will visit some of the biggest flowers and vegetable farms, which are mainly own by the Chinese farmers. Besides harvesting for wild rattan and bamboo as their only source of income these forest people also cultivate "padi" or rice on the hillsides for their own consumption. After staying a night with the natives in a traditional hut built on stilts you will also have the opportunity to try bamboo rafting down the Telom river, the venue for the world renowned "Cameron Descent". The return trip will take you through the biggest tea plantation in the highlands, Boh Plantation.

Jim Thompson Walk
Jim Thompson is by far the best known postwar legend in Asia. Whenever his name is mentioned it is always prefixed with the "Thai silk king". When someone wants to act knowledgeable and mysterious, they might say, "Thompson, the ex-OSS agent". But to his friends, to those who knew him best, he was a warm and sensitive person; he was a master architect and designer; and he was one of Southeast Asia’s foremost art collectors. To these people Jim Thompson was a charming host who lived in grand style. And then one day in 1967, when visting friends at their mountain retreat in Cameron Highlands, he disappeared. He vanished completely, without leaving a trace. His disappearance led to the largest and most thorough search and investigation ever conducted for an individual in this part of the world.
This walk will allow you to have a glimpse of his friend’s mountain retreat where he stayed before he disappeared.
Departure 3.00 pm 
Duration 2-3 Hours 

Kampung Attap Walk
Tropical rainforests represent the oldest major vegetation type still present on the terrestrial Earth. Like all vegetation, however, that of the rainforest continues to evolve and change so that modern tropical rainforests are not identical with rainforests of the geologic past. 
It is not surprise, therefore, to find the greatest diversity of flowering plants today in the tropical rainforests where they first evolved. Of particular interest is the fact that the majority of flowering plants displaying the most primitive characteristics are found in rainforests - especially tropical rainforests. This two days walk through one of the oldest rainforest in the world will give you the insight of the fragility and the beauty of our virgin forest.
Departure 9.00 am 
Duration 2 days/1 nite 

Rafflesia Tour
The Rafflesia is one of the most magnificent flowers ever known to the botanical world. In size it excels by spanning 97 cm in diameter, the largest ever recorded from a flower of the species Rafflesiaarnoldii, found by Sir Stamford Raffles and Dr. Arnold during a plant collecting expedition to Sumatra in 1818. Their specimen was sent to the British Museum (Natural History) in London where it caused much wonder and amazement. The uniqueness of Rafflesia lies not just in its size and appearance. Its peculiar parasitic life style, which means that it is totally dependent on a host-in this case, a vine-for survival is equally interesting. Biologically, Rafflesia is so specialized that the only visible part is the flower. It has neither roots, leaves nor stem - nothing is green. This tour will take you to the few remaining sites where this parasitic plant can still be found.
Departure 9.00 am 
Duration Full day 

Gunung Brinchang Tour
Gunung Brinchang at 6,666ft. above sea level is the highest peak in Cameron Highlands. Translated into English, the Malay word "Gunung" means mountain and "Brinchang" means strong winds. With the temperature sometimes recording less than 15 degrees Centigrade during the night, this mountain is a home to numerous species of mosses, pitcher plants, wild orchids and flowers. It is also a showpiece of what mossy forest is all about. The ride to the top by 4x4 and the view from the lookout point will allow you to enjoy and appreciate the panoramic view of our montane forests. After a short walk to the mossy forest we will proceed to visit the highest tea plantation in Malaysia. Refreshments will be serve at the tea house after a short tour to the orthodox tea factory which was set up in the early 1930s.
Departure 9.00 am 
Duration Half-day
