Tea plantations, hiking and cooler temperatures
Cameron Highlands was a little touristy and hard to reach, but still an amazing place to visit.
Keep in mind that this location is a point where literally all the locals go on weekends to escape hot weather. The highway was crowded, we were stuck in traffic for more than 4 hours.
The highlands are a local farm, so the main entertainment is to buy the freshest fruits and vegetables several times cheaper than in the cities.
Magical nature, wonderful weather (especially if you have already been in hot KL for several days).
