About Cameron Highlands
Cameron Highlands is located in the Northwest of Pahang state, about 200 km from Kuala Lumpur.

If you like natural wildlife, Cameron Highlands is a great stopover.
What is Cameron’s most beautiful season? Reasonable time to Cameron Highlands
Due to its high altitude, the climate in Cameron Highlands is cool all year round and it is ideal for sightseeing and relaxation. However, the best time to travel to Cameron, according to visitor reviews, is from December to February every year when the temperature can drop to 10 degrees Celsius and you can enjoy the extremely interesting experience.
Access to Cameron Highlands
Because Cameron is not too far away from Kuala Lumpur, you can choose from a variety of ways to get there.
Bus to Cameron
From Kuala Lumpur you take the bus to Cameron at the bus station Pudu with the following information:
- The bus fare from Kuala Lumpur to Cameron Highland is usually between 35-37RM
- Daily departures are available at 8:30 am.
- Travel time is usually 3-5 hours depending on the vehicle.
- Note: The quality of the car is good. I usually choose GT Express, the price is quite reasonable compared to other cars. Roads in Cameron are zigzag which easily causes car sick so you should not eat much before going.
Flight to Cameron
No direct flights from Kuala Lumpur to Cameron. You have to fly from Kuala Lumpur to Ipod and from Ipod to Cameron (1 hour). But there are the following limitations:
- From Kuala Lumpur to KL Airport takes 1½ hours, not including flight time from 30 minutes to 1 hour, and 1 hour by bus from Ipod to Cameron.
