Let me present to you...beautiful Cameron Highlands!
We booked only the tickets for the bus without any tour, but not to worry because when you are reaching Cameron Highlands, the tour guide will start giving out pamplets to ask you join their tour.
We are given many options for different tours by Titiwangsa, which is the major tour agency in Cameron.
LEISURE TOUR
Price: RM 25.00 per adult
RM 20.00 per child
Duration of tour: 3-3.5 hours
Time of departure: 930am or 2.30pm daily
This tour brings you to the different attractions around the Equatorial hotel which we stayed in. Good tour for families and elderly as the name suggests, leisure tour. Some attractions would be market square, honey bee centre, sam poh temple, rose centre and butterfly house. However, we are not so interested in visiting these places so we skipped this tour.
NATURE DISCOVERY TOUR
Price: RM 60.00 per adult
RM 50.00 per child
Duration of tour: 4-4.5 hours
Time of departure: 930am daily
This tour is like those hiking type. You get to visit Mount Brinchang, trek around the mossy forest, visit the famous BOH tea planation. It's a pretty good tour, especially for young people. But since we are only interested in the BOH tea and not the other attractions... no mossy forest, no hiking...just a leisure one will do. So, we didn't book this tour too.
AGRO DELIGHT TOUR
Price: RM 65.00 per adult
RM 55.00 per child
Duration of tour: 4.5-5 hours
Time of departure: 2.30am daily
We went with this tour! This tour brings us to the cactus farm which has so many different types of cactus. My mom likes plants a lot so I bought back one for her. We also get to go to strawberry farm with self picking of strawberries allowed - the major highlight of our trip.
SUNRISE SPECTACULAR
Price: RM 65.00 per adult
RM 55.00 per child
Duration of tour: 2.5 hours
Time of departure: 6.00am daily
(Tour fare includes a light breakfast of tea/coffee/milo with pie and strawberry muffin)
We took this tour too. The tour guide was describing how beautiful the sunrise is. You see the colours slowing unfolding. There's red yellow, pink, blue, violet. Wow... a must catch!
This is the organic farm. Those pots are actually the strawberry plants.
Loves chilli? Take THIS challenge. This is the spiciest chilli in the world. The tour guide told us that you can literally die from eating this chilli. Just by licking this chilli, you'll already be fuming hot and feeling sick. One bite of it... you're gone. SO POTENT! For the dare devils, give it a try? :P
I dislike those medusa looking cactus. Give me the creeps. I like those one single round ball with needles type.
Look at this beautiful cactus! It's so symmetrically round. And of course, it's the perfect gift for my mom. Bought it home for just RM 2.
Here comes the major highlight. STRAWBERRY PICKING!
We were brought Kok Lim Strawberry farm to do the picking.
There are many strawberry farms in Cameron, but some farms are better if you wish to pick the strawberries. Some farms have smaller strawberries due to different varieties. The ones at Kok Lim are imported from Holland, which are big, red and juicy. So I assume you are going for big red ones, then definitely Kok Lim!
Another famous farm is the Big Red strawberry farm. They also offer strawberry picking but the strawberries there are much smaller. We were also brought to Big Red for a visit and to purchase their strawberry products.
You have to pay RM 30 for you to enter and pick strawberries. With that sum of money paid, you are allowed to bring home 1/2 kg of the strawberries you picked. If you pick less than 1/2 kg, they will top it up for you. If you pick more, then you pay for the extra.
This is the FRESH vegetables farm.
See! So Fresh.
At the cafe, we can buy fresh salad! Free and easy, pick and choose. The salad also comes with the fresh strawberries. We never knew strawberries taste great with thousand island sauce.
Steamboat dinner at Titiwangsa restaurant was sooooo gd. Perhaps it's the cold weather that makes the food even more delicious. Free flow of vegetables and bee hoon but limited plates of meat.
A funny conversation happened during dinner.
As you know... we had a bus crash which left us with many bruises.
There were 4 eggs available for steamboat so we decided to cook it and bring home to nurse our bruises! HAHAHA
But in the end after we brought it home, we didn't do it. Instead, that became our breakfast as our hotel stay didn't come with free breakfast.
Loves hard boiled eggs!
