Cameron Highlands is about 60 kilometres form Tapah, a town on the Kuala Lumpur - Ipoh Highway accessible by road and rail.
From Tapah, the two way road winds its way up through fascinating jungle scenery. The ascent is gradual with only the drop in temperature to indicate how high you are. The flora of the tropics undergo a subtle and pleasant change with tumbling waterfalls, gurgling mountain streams, giant tropical trees rising majestically towards the sky, bamboo forest and hillside villages belonging to the Semai, members of the Semoi group of "Orang Asli".
The drive up will take about one and the half hours to Tanah Rata.
New Simpang Pulai Highway
There is a new route to Cameron Highlands and that is the new Simpang Pulai highway. This route is less winding but please be aware that there are a few sharp bends at some stretches. If you are heading from Kuala Lumpur , skip the Tapah toll exit and proceed to Simpang Pulai exit, which is about 90KM from Tapah exit. From Simpang Pulai, follow some signboards which will guide you to the new Simpang Pulai highway. About 40 minutes, you will reach the Parkland Hotel Cameron Highlands along the way up to Cameron Highlands.
