The Cameron Highlands is Malaysia’s largest and most popular hill station. It is named after William Cameron, the British surveyor who charted the area in 1885.<br/><br/> It is chiefly visited by people wanting to escape from the heat of the plains, as the temperature rarely rises above 22 degrees Centigrade, or falls below 10 C. It is characterised by mists, light rainfall and occasional heavy monsoon downpours.<br/><br/> The Highlands chief features are its rather British colonial character – much played up in recent years by the Malaysian authorities – temperate flowers, fruits and vegetables, and tea plantations everywhere.
