Cameron Highlands, My Trip: Part 1

Last 2 weeks was one of Malaysia's most celebrated public holiday, Deepavali. One of my ex-coursemate had been planning to go to Cameron Highlands for a vacation-cum-reunion for all ex-coursemates. Although only half of the coursemates managed to join this vacation, the fun and excitement was just like good old days...

It was a 3 days 2 nights trip, where we spent a night in Cameron Highlands and another in Ipoh. Before I starts my photo journey of this trip, mind to read some facts about Cameron Highlands...

Cameron Highlands is a highland region located about 121km east of Ipoh and about 214km north of Kuala Lumpur, in Pahang, Malaysia. At 5,000ft (1,500m) above sea level it is the highest area on the mainland, enjoys a cool climate, with temperatures no higher than 25°C and rarely falls below 12°C year-round. Cameron Highlands is actually a district in the state of Pahang Darul Makmur although the road entrance is via Tapah and Simpang Pulai in the state of Perak Darul Ridzuan. The size of the whole Cameron Highlands district is roughly two and a quarter times the size of Singapore. (Source: Wikipedia)

We make our first stop in Tanah Rata. We checked in to our apartment and went for our lunch here.

After lunch, we start our journey in Cameron Highlands. First, we stopped at Butterfly Farm. Well, this is only a mini butterfly farm. Some people waited for a while for some people to find parking, as this is a serious problem in Cameron Highlands.

Cameron Highlands is a high humidity and cold place. But cactus managed to grow beautifully here. I wonder why???
