Cameron Highlands Tour Package Day 1

We made our way up the narrow roads to Mount Brinchang which is 6,666 feet above sea level. A viewing tower standing majestically awaits any visitor to give them the best bird's eye view of the highlands. There were three levels to the tower. We managed to only climb to the second level as it was really high and the stairs were steep. Not for the faint hearted. The air is really cool and refreshing.

We trekked into the Mossy forest. It was an exciting trek as we had to tackle uneven terrain and hanging on to tree branches/trunks to maintain our balance. The morning dew made the ground muddy and slippery. The most fascinating plant that caught our attention is the Pitcher plant. It gets its nutrients when insects gets trapped and dies within the walls of the plant due to its slippery surface. The nutrients is then transported to other parts of the plant like the leaves.

We proceed to the 'BOH' tea factory to witness the process of creating tea. The interesting machinery was an eye opener and the place was filled with the scent of original tea. The tea shop offered many flavours of tea and tea bags. We had our snacks and refreshments provided by the tour.
