  We had Rames take us on a lovely tour to Cameron Highlands. He provided us with many helpful suggestions like starting the tour earlier to avoid traffic and get better views of Mossy Forest. Rames was very genuine. He focuses on our safety and drives carefully. Nothing is too much trouble for him. The tour is totally customisable. Rames was also so generous to treat us to some local Indian breakfast and Ipoh's white coffee.

• Cameron Highlands: Beauty Well-Worth the Trip

  Took a private day tour from Ipoh into the Cameron Highlands with a super-early pickup time of 6:30am. Why so early? In order to bypass the sometimes-heavy traffic into this beautiful area of Malaysia, and the scenery made it all worth it. The BOH Sungei Palas Tea Garden factory was unfortunately closed the day we went, but the fields of tea were spectacular. We learned much about all things tea (including what "tea" stands for, what kinds of tea you should drink at certain times of day, and most intriguingly, that the British were coffee drinkers before switching to tea!) The Mossy Forest was also a surreal environment and provided more views of the mountains across the valley as cloud rolled by; we learned much about the ancient species of flora present in this forest, and its by-products both helpful and harmful. To students or trivia-lovers, you'll learn the differences between "forests", "rain forests" and "jungles". Further stops included: the Orchid & Rose Garden (if you're "meh" about gardens, this one might change your mind -- and if the flora doesn't, the goats, sheep and bunnies might!); the Cameron Valley Tea House (more incredible scenery, and the option to have tea and snacks like scones and jam), and the Kea Farm Market (not fully-open on the day we went unfortunately) provided insight into the business of agriculture on the Highlands. Finally, an impromptu visit to the GoChin Tambun Pomelo Agro Farm rounded out the end of this tour on a sweet and satisfying note (of fresh pomelo fruit as juice). A lot of criticism arises because of two main reasons: what is seen as the marring of the landscape due to the all business of agriculture; and the increased tourism resulting in traffic jams and generally the over-running of the area by tourists (the conundrum faced by popular tourist destinations). While you will see a great many portions of the hills and terraces in the Highlands covered by tarps and structures related to farming, there is still plenty of nature to see and experience. Friday to Sunday are the peak visiting times; we went on a Monday and experienced no traffic at all, as well as an absence of larger tour groups. In conclusion, we felt this tour was well-worth the time and expense. A hearty shoutout to our guide Ram, who we got to know on this tour as an amazing person as well as driver and guide!

  A great day that condenses a lot of Cameron Highlands' main attractions. My guide, Ram, was brilliant. Highly informative and very friendly. We stopped to get coffee in the morning as it was an early start and he was very accommodating throughout the day. Would highly recommend

  The tour to the Mossy Forest, The Boh tea plantation, rose and orchid garden and Chinese Cave Temple was a great experience! Our guide Ram was awesome! We had a great day!
