Equatorial Hotel Cameron Highlands - Just Love It!
Stayed in Equatorial Hotel Cameron for 3 days two nights, it was superb!
Really great service, clean, efficient, scenic, breathtaking view, perfect location (next to many locations). The western style grill, coffee house and Chinese cuisine restaurant were really superb. We were very impressed.
Its a tiny 1970s period enclave time capsule - a perfect example of a perfectly run 1970s era hotel. I would return to stay at this hotel again and again, i am in love with it.
It looks and smells like 1970s - that signature wet carpet stale cigarette moldy curtain bouquet - I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT !!!
I enjoyed Cameron highlands so much I would visit it and spend Christmas there every year from now. Its like a Malaysian Switzerland !!!

Hiking Trekking to Mt Beremban
Do we need a coach for going up MT.BEREMBAN? How long it takes?
My friends and i decided to go from Trail 3.
What is the recommendation 2days 1 night or 1 day trip?
what is the idea time to start trekking early in the morning?
please reply, tq.

Dear Sweenie I'm not the best person to answer you on this.
You may contact
1) Cameron Secret +60194485454 / +6054912484
2) Kang Tours and Travel +6054915828 for guided tours
AFAIK, trekking takes about 1 full day starting from early morning till evening depending on how long the trail and how difficult it is. You need to be physically fit to do so. Getting a guide would help to avoid getting lost, provided everybody sticks together and not wander off on another trail.

Travel Itinerary Idea to Cameron Highlands during Chinese New Year
Hi, I am from KL. It will be my first time driving up to Cameron Highlands with my family members. I am really anxious about the trip and need to ensure all works well. Could you please help to look at my itinerary if they are ok in terms of the travelling routes? I am not sure if I should go Sg. Palas Boh Tea or the one at Bahu because I stay in Brinchang??
Monday 11-Feb (Day 1)
-Morning drive up to Cameron Highlands from KL
-Lunch probably in one of those PLUS Expressway R&R places
-Afternoon reach Brinchang, heading down to Tanah Rata - Maybank to wait for my cousin brother
-Tea together at Uncle Chow Kopitiam
-Heading up to Brinchang - Denver's @ Rose Apartment, check-in and rest
Tuesday 12-Feb (Day 2)
-Wake up early
-Home-made breakfast at the apartment
-Visit Sg. Palas Boh Tea Plantation / Boh Tea Garden at Habu then tea/scones at Bharat Tea
-Visit Cactus Valley
-Visit Hill Strawberry Farm
-Visit Night market at Tanah Rata (is there a night market at Brinchang?)
-Dinner at Hong Kong Restaurant or restaurant around Brinchang
Wednesday 13-Feb (Day 3)
-Wake up early
-Breakfast at the chinese food stall at Brinchang area
-Visit Kea Farm
-Back to apartment to pack-up
-Visit Green View Garden to buy strawberries/jam on the way down back to KL
Appreciate if you could advise me if my itinerary sound OK?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks,

Dear Aileen
Suggest you drive up via Tapah route as the day you are traveling is on CNY
Although it CNY and Chinese market hawkers may or may not set up Brinchang Night Market, nowadays there are other hawkers (Malay, Indian, Bangla, Indon, etc) so it high chance it would be on. Plus tourist like to park haphazard visiting nurseries, Kea Farm and other sights along the route causing massive traffic jams from Kg Raja all the way to Brinchang. Even if you were to travel early arfternoon you still may get stuck in slow moving traffic. Use the Tapah route up, although more tricky, would save you a lot of time (even if you were stuck behind a lorry or bus going uphill). My friends and relative experience for the traffic jam, about 4 hours+ from Kg Raja to Brinchang! Nope, I wouldn't enjoy that. Plus the ladies needed to use the loo, and they could actually walked out of the car, do their business (don't know where they found the bathroom), and catch up with the car to join back the jam! They marveled that we could still sip a cup of tea at Bharat, chit chat here and there before checking in at Greenhill apartment and still arrived earlier than them!
Visiting Tea Plantation can be difficult, again due to heavy traffic. Although the Sg Palas has a very beautiful cliff hanger tea house, be prepared to jam all the way in. Otherwise go to Habu side. Traffic may still be heavy but probably less headache than Sg Palas. Or perhaps leave your tea plantation visit to last day as that would be a working day (no more public holiday). Then again, many people would still be on leave, but perhaps the traffic would be lighter as some people will have to return to go to work.
Kea Farm on last day is good idea.
Anyway, it is holiday season, expect lots of people and heavy traffic, don't try to cram in too many sight, relax and enjoy your time! Missed any sights, come back again next time!
Cheers!

Dear Jan,
Many thanks for your quick response to my enquiry.
Your website is very information and very helpful. The information from you is certainly useful for my journey up to Cameron Highlands.
I know...it would be a massive jam, although I really hate it but sort of expected.
Gong xi fa cai and a very happy chinese new year to you and family!

Uncle Chow Kopitiam - some people don't like, how about you?
Hi I went to uncle chow for breakfast with a group of friends, thanks to your recommendation .
The food was not good at all. We ordered all his specialties n none was even average. The nasi lemak rice is plain cheap white rice cooked without coconut milk. Come on, nasi lemak without coconut is so not nasi lemak, don't bring shame to Malaysians' fav food.
Toast with butter n home made kaya - the butter was margarine , the kaya has no taste whatsoever not even eggy or a hint of pandan. The list of other bad food goes on.
Perhaps the next time u recommend a place u should try out the food yourself first. Save us all the disappointment.

It was acceptable for me.
They were very friendly and chatty, and there always got many people going there. Additionally, they are getting on in their age, and don't know how long they can do this.
Cheers!

Travel by Train to Cameron Highlands then by Bus or Taxi
I sent this question to Kang Tours and Travel \"In Feb/Mar 2013 I intend to come from Singapore by train which reaches Ipoh about 6pm. I\'d like to stay in Cameron Highlands that night, do one of your full day tours and get back to Ipoh that evening to catch the overnight train to Thailand. Does that sound possible and what costs are involve?\"
I didn\'t get a reply, can you help? Thanks.

Dear John
If I read right, your planned schedule is:
6pm arrive ipoh train station and try to find a taxi
8pm arrive Cameron Highlands after a 2 hours drive arriving at night
go for night tour say for 1 hour ( I don't know who would entertain you, probably the same taxi that you took from Ipoh could drive you around and one hour at night won't get you to see anything probably just stuck in Tanah Rata or other town Brinchang, for 1/2 hours each because everything else is pitch black at night...)
9pm depart for the dangerous 2 hours drive back to Ipoh
11pm arrive back at train station and catch the midnight train
All done in just one night!
I think your plan is ridiculous!
Cheers!
Jan

Dear Jan
Thanks for replying.
Yes, I agree that plan would be ridiculous. No, my plan is: after arriving about 6pm in Ipoh taxi (or bus if available?) to hotel/lodge in Cameron Highland, stay there that night, take a day tour the next day ending late afternoon/early evening (as I think the Kang Tours do) then go back to Ipoh for the train.
A bit short, perhaps, but a whole day of daylight for the tour not the black of evening and all the time I have available.
Cheers,
John
10/7/2012

Dear John,
Ah! Now it make sense!
Because your time is short and arriving in the evening, catching a taxi to Cameron Highlands would be the better option but would be costlier (no idea of the price but would be at least RM100 and above)
Hotels price range between RM80 to RM200, but go for higher price for more comfort, somewhere around RM150 at Century Pines would be good.
Then after tour, you could check whether Kang Travel and Tours has any mini-van services for the evening to Ipoh. Or you could check the bus station for its inaccurate bus schedule. If you want to avoid missing the train ride, best to go for Kang's mini van service (if any available to Ipoh) or worse come to worse, taxi service.
Cheers!

Dear Jan
Once again thanks for all the info, the taxis seem a bit expensive and I was wondering if Kang Tours or someone else could do me a complete package with pick-up at Ipoh, transfer to Cameron Highlands, accommodation that night, a tour the next day and then transfer back to Ipoh.
I mention Kang Tours because they do seem to have accommodation, do day tours and you mention the possibility of a mini-van service. Also I noticed you maintain their web site and I was wondering if you could check if the query I sent through the site ever reached them. I did have some difficulty as the initial page reported a fault when I submitted the form but then I seemed to be taken to another web form (it looked entirely different) which did seem to accept my query. But they never answered so did they ever get my enquiry? Could you ask, please.
Thanks again for your help,
John.

I'm no longer maintaining their website. Looks like the other person not doing a good job on mail redirection despite being a better web designer than me.
You may email them directly at:
kangtravellershotel@hotmail.com
danielslodge@hotmail.com
Due to they receive many inquiries and a family run business, you may want to call them for immediate response to your query, their staff may be able to assist your queries.

Yes, they have a mini van service but they need to fill it up with passengers in order to run it efficiently. Ipoh does not have high tourist volume. Perhaps your best bet would be to get your mini van pickup from Kuala Lumpur instead (if you are coming up from the south). Then you can check for their north schedule and have them drop you off to Ipoh if convenient, if not you may need to drop off in Butterworth if they are ok with it or you may have to end up in Georgetown as most majority of tourist would go there.
And yes, they have room and rather budget, but for a good night's sleep I would still suggest a nicely furnished hotel. After all it is just for one night. Being on travel sometimes there are expenses that should be spent and not try to save.
And yes, taxi are expensive, so if you want to save on transport, the above idea would match with each other. Buses are best considered last due to not running on time, breakdowns, and dangerous (especially night service, and the regular news report of bus crashes happens mostly at night). The last point already make me shudder.

Cold morning and Bright Hot Sun
Woke up to a cold frosty morning with a bright 'rise and shine' sunny sunshine! A morning temperature of 21.8 degress Celcius. Some family still sound asleep while others already up enjoying the cold fresh morning air of Cameron Highlands.
This was a good refreshing changed from the hot humid hot weather of KL/PJ which saw many of us taking ill. A virulent flu bug was making its round and many of us were not spared from its effect. Hopefully the cool weather here in the highlands would to eleviate the symtoms and aid healing faster.
Not sure it would really help but at least get to enjoy to cool weather. Perhaps show off a few place to family members.
This time quite a big group of 2 familiies will be roaming about the highlands exploring the place!

Dear Tan Peay Mei,
There are tour companies where you can hire out day guides. You could also follow their jungle hiking tours which would be more cost effective.
1) Cameron Secret 05-491 2484
2) Kang Tours and Travel 05-491 5828

There are many other smaller tour companies, but you can try the above 3 first. Sorry I don't have CS Travel number at hand.

Peay Mei,
This is the first time I ever heard about requiring a permit for hiking in the jungle. I think the Pejabat Daerah Raub is pulling a fast one on you! They must be so desparado to gleen any kind of fees from the public to resort to this. I went jungle hiking in Pangkor and never needed any. Went to some popular gunung (forget the name) in Negeri Sembilan and never applied for any permit. To go hiking just bring a good pair of hiking shoes, essential stuffs in your backpack and make sure you are fit and you are good to go! Just don't get lost and stick to the normal path!

Dear Putri,
Di sana ada banyak kedai pelancongan, mereka ada tour package you boleh pakai untuk pergi ke tempat menarik. Jika nak sendiri jalan-jalan, ada teksi. Jika peringatan saya betul, teksi fare lebih-kurang RM25 satu jam. Lebih baik pakai kedai pelancongan kerana boleh pergi lebih banyak tempat dengan kos yang kurang.
Anda boleh cuba di Tanah Rata:
1) Cameron Secret 05-491 2484 (Jalan ke Heritage Hotel, rumah barracks)
2) Kang Tours and Travel 05-491 5828 (sebelah Pos Office)
3) CS Travel
Harga mereka lebih-kurang sama-sama. Pakai tour pun boleh duduk Land Rover (jika pergi jungle hiking), action sikit-lah!

Dear Putri,
Di sana ada banyak kedai pelancongan, mereka ada tour package you boleh pakai untuk pergi ke tempat menarik. Jika nak sendiri jalan-jalan, ada teksi. Jika peringatan saya betul, teksi fare lebih-kurang RM25 satu jam. Lebih baik pakai kedai pelancongan kerana boleh pergi lebih banyak tempat dengan kos yang kurang.
Anda boleh cuba di Tanah Rata:
1) Cameron Secret 05-491 2484 (Jalan ke Heritage Hotel, rumah barracks)
2) Kang Tours and Travel 05-491 5828 (sebelah Pos Office)
3) CS Travel
Harga mereka lebih-kurang sama-sama. Pakai tour pun boleh duduk Land Rover (jika pergi jungle hiking), action sikit-lah!
Cheers!

Dear Alison Chin
Many have asked this question before, unfortunately most establishment (especially the upmarket ones) do not quite accept pets in their accommodation. You could only try with the smaller budget accommodation establishment who may be able to accommodate to your request.
You could try Cameronian Inn as I have seen some guests with pets.
Or else try out with apartment owners. Which landlord can accept I do not know, you just have ask and see.

Orang Asli and Jungle Trekking
Your website is very useful, and some of the stories are amusing.
I visited the Cameron Highlands last February whilst doing research on British History.
I trekked through the Jungle with the use of ASLI tribesmen as my guides (lovely people)what I would say is if your going off an established trail please ensure that you speak with the local Asli village chief, this is their land and as tourists we need to respect the heritage, culture and traditions.
When I heard stories from the Asli people of tourists just wondering around on their land I feel nothing but disgust we wouldn't want people just wondering through our homes with out been announced.
Also if Asli tracking services are used please negotiate a price for their services they need our support, just as much as you will need their support if you get lost in the Jungle.
If any one knows of a good Asli tracker whom lives Tanah Rata I would appreciate contact details.

Bus Coach to Tanah Rata Booking Questions
Hi, I'm planning for trip from Ipoh to Cameron in Dec and have these questions about taking coach to Tanah Rata -
1) Should I book coach now or is it safe to book 2 days before departure?
2) Are there any internet booking for Unititi and Kinta Omnibus? (I can't seem to find any) Which is the better one to take?
3) Do the buses leave on time?
4) How long is the journey by coach going by the new highway? I've read that it is 3 and half, but some says it is only one and a half by car..
Would be great if you could help! Thanks in advance!

Dear Artsy,
Will try to answer some of your questions, though I don't know all of them
1) Holiday season is coming so might be better to book in advance to ensure available seat. Or take your chances on that day. Up to you.
2) Don't know of any internet booking for bus/coaches. Besides they are all not that IT savvy.
3) Depends on the bus company. Most are on time except one company, I think it is the Regal bus company that plies the Tapah - CH - Simpang Pulai route. This one always got bus breakdown and bus delays.
You could also try the minivan service from Kang Tours and Travel. Cost a bit more but more reliable.
4) Do note bus / coach take longer time to travel with stops and slower speed limit (though some do break the law). The maximum bus speed allowed on highway is 90kph but I have been overtaken by buses at 110kph (speed limit of highway). So if you were me, I don't feel safe taking buses. So avoid night buses, many accidents occurs at night when bus driver is sleepy and night driving is also has poorer visibility.
Time taken by car (without speeding and getting a speeding ticket)
KL to Tapah = 1.5 hours.
Tapah to Tanah Rata = 1.5 hours.
Tapah to Simpang Pulai = 20 minutes
Simpang Pulai to Tanah Rata = 1.5 hours.
So perhaps you could add another 1/2 to 1 hour to the total time for above time for buses (not each leg, just the total)
Cheers!

If you have the info to hand it would be much appreciated if we can bus/coach directly to Tanah Rata. John and thanks.

Welcome to Malaysia.
For your info, there is no direct coach/bus from KLIA to Cameron Highlands.
