Sprawling tea plantations, terraced flower gardens, orchard and vegetable farms are common sights due to the cool climate.
Stop by the strawberry farms and sample delicious homemade jams. Flower nurseries are a delight to visit while the Agro Technology Park in the main town of Tanah Rata is filled with temperate blooms and herbs. Trace the history of tea planting on a guided tour after which, indulge in a cup of hot tea of your preferred flavour and some tasty shortbread.
Golfers can tee off at the 18 hole golf course between Tanah Rata and Brinchang town. Freash fruits and vegetables, potted plants, cacti and survenirs can be purchased at the markets in Kea Farm and Brinchang. The small town of Tapah at the foothills of Cameroon Highlands is the gateway to the hill station and can be reached by bus, taxi services are available to Tanah Rata, 60km away. The resort is also accessible via the new highway at Simpang Pulai. If you are driving from Kuala Lumpur, the Simpang Pulai exit is about 45 minutes north of Tapah along the North-South Expressway.
