Cameron Highlands 4 days 3 night

My first trip to Cameron Highlands
Day 1:
Stay @Equatorial Cameron Highlands
At 8.30am, we arrived at Brinchang, a small city near our hotel. Dear & I went for breakfast. The air was very cold and I didn't expected it. I didn't bring enough warm clothing.

Back in the coach, we were approached by a tour operator who showed us brochures of short day tours of Cameron Highlands. We selected the 'Nature Discovery Tour' and 'Agro Delight Tour' for our day 1.'Sun Raise Tour' for our day 2 morning. We feel this is our first trip there, should have some education tour to know this place better. This would then cover 1 1/2 days of our journey.

I personally feel the 'Nature Discovery Tour' is worth it while 'Agro Delight Tour' you could give it a miss. As it drive you to all the farm places. I keep going on and off the mini bus. They never cover places like the rose farm, butterflies farm as all this places got entrance fees.

Day 2 & 3 we move to Hotel De'La Ferns, Tanah Rata, which we book online. 
Before we head to our new hotel stay, we went to Rose Valley and Butterfly Farm by taxi to take photos. We went for a late afternoon tracking to Robinson Waterfall trail (Trail 9/9a) before we head to for dinner and book bus to Penang on Sat morning.

Day 3:
Our last day Cameron Highlands, we went for more tracking. In the morning we head to Forestry Dept to start our tracking. First track to Parit Waterfall (Trail 4). It was a cooling & nice walk. 


After that we head for Trail 5, start from MARDI (Malaysia Agriculture Research and Development Institute) destination we want to go Brinchang town for Strawberry Moment Dessert cafe. But we got lost in the forest and did my first mountain tracking with a lot of climbing up and down. After the tracking, both our knee cap are in pain.   Ended up we are back to Forestry Dept and need to walk a long way to Brinchang Town for the Dessert. 

Lucky, it has not been raining for a wk, therefore the trail are not muddy. If not, I cannot imaging my clothing. Supper tired Day 3
