Trekking @ Cameron Highland via Tanah Rata

Planned a trekking trips to Cameron Highlands on 6th June to 8th June 2008. We took a bus at 8:30am from Puduraya with counter 87 Kurnia Bistari Express. Reaching Cameron Highland Tanah Rata at 12:30pm.



We had our lunch at tanah rata before proceeding for the check-in at Twin Pines Chalet where a room for 3 days 2 nights with a country side excursion cost around RM100. Personally I do not recommend Twin Pines but after some research around Tanah Rata and I would recommend Hillview Inn at Tanah Rata.

Anyway we had a great steamboat dinner at Mayflower Restaurant where it cost around RM15/person for a dinner steamboat.



Second day on 7th June 2008 was a relax country side excursion early in the morning but we were cheated and delay until noon because of the school holidays and many tourists. But we did some trekking research on Gunung Jasar (trek no 10 and 11) and Gunung Beremban entrance (trek no 7). We found both entrance and planning for tomorrow trekking but we haven’t decide which trek are we using as we are not very clear of the treks. Trek no 10 and 11 are near OLY Apartments and trek no 7 are via MARDI.

We had our country excursion at noon and it was not a nice visit and it is full of people and really pack like sardine at all parks and tourist attraction area. We had our dinner at T-Café next to Marry Brown. I like the place and highly recommended for a visit.



Third day on 8th June 2008, we decided to use the trek to Gunung Jasar where it was signage trek number 11 via Oly Apartments.



The trek is a very nice trek with fresh air and nice trek but we are not in good stamina as we only trek around 1 hour plus to half way of the mountain before heading back to the chalet for check-out. The whole trekking take us 2 hours. Cameron trekking is a great place for jungle trekkers to catch some trees and fresh air.

(I will trek again to Cameron and update the latest trekking report next round)
