Excursion to Cameron Highlands, famous for its tea plantations. Walk through Verdant green hills, and observe more than 300 varieties of butterflies at the Kea Farm, Brinchang.
First discovered by British surveyor, William Cameron in 1885, Cameron Highlands is regarded as the "Green Bowl" of the country, supplying its produce of cabbages, tomatoes, lettuces, and green peppers to major cities in Malaysia, as well as to Singapore. During the colonial era, British planters realized the potential of Cameron Highlands' fertile mountain slopes for growing tea.
The cool, frost free climate of the hill also proved to be an ideal and excellent condition for the cultivation of tea. Here, tea plantations spread out as far as the eye can see. Tea from the Highlands has established a reputation for quality comparable to the best varieties around the world. Tea cultivation is the main economic activity in Cameron Highlands.
End your day by the magnificent and enigmatic Kellie's Castle, set location for the filming of "Anna and the King". The rubber industry grew with extreme rapidity in Malaysia at the beginning of the century, and as one would expect it attracted all sorts of fortune-seekers. One of the most successful of these was William Kellie Smith, a Scot who decided modestly to mark his success by constructing this magnificent castle.
It stands enigmatically among Kellie's old lands and is visible across the river a few miles along the road from Ipoh to Batu Gajah.

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page", St. Augustine said. Here at www.travel-university.org we believe that every page must be read and explored. Travel is an avenue of learning that no text or classroom can teach. The world is a living classroom and you the student. We invite you to the www.travel-university.org library where you can read general interest and detail oriented articles.
