Cameron Highland went through massive development with so many new hotels and resort but still can be called the 'green carpet of Malaysia. '

Cameron Highland is one of the most popular getaway destination by local people as well as for Tourist. Why? Because most of the Malaysian local people want to get some cool weather and escape from hot and humid climate in lowland.

Cameron Highland was discovered by an English man who known as William Cameron.
He was on his way for some expedition and he discover this hill and he feel this place could be find area for the British for their relive over the weekends.

But only few years later Cameron Highland was really start getting attention and people start to travel.
