Looking for a short getaway this National Day weekend? We’ve got the perfect place for you! Nestled in the cool highlands of Malaysia, Cameron Highlands is a great option for anyone seeking an outskirt adventure.
There are multiple ways to get to Cameron Highlands, you can either get there by car, plane or bus. The nearest airport to Cameron Highlands is Ipoh Airport and it takes about 2 hours to drive from the airport to Cameron Highlands (highly recommend this route!)
Caravan Experience
Apart from the usual visiting of attractions, an interesting experience that Cameron Highlands offers is the stay at caravans! At Stellar Golden Hill, you can experience caravan living without breaking the bank or travelling too far! The whole experience does not include caravan driving but the setup boasts a beautiful deck that overlooks paddy fields (the Cozy Caravan).

Cameron Highlands Itinerary
3 days and 2 nights is more than enough for a Cameron Highlands trip as many of its iconic attractions are near each other. Here’s are some places we recommend you visit!
Day 1
Since check-in at Stellar Golden Hill is at 3PM, we suggest visiting their beautiful Bohemian Design Glass House Café or rest up in the caravan to enjoy the sunset while they prepare your BBQ set. As night falls, temperatures drop significantly. Cozy up for the night with a warm brew using their complimentary tea bags!

After the sun rises, take a walk along their homegrown BOH tea plantation while listening to the guide educating you on the different types of tea leaves! Once the BOH tea factory opens, you can enjoy a light snack and tea in their café and purchase their BOH tea leaves as a souvenir to take home!
Next, get ready for a walk in Cameron Highland's mossy forest! Although it may resemble Singapore’s MacRitchie Nature Trail, the main distinction is the air-conditioned environment you’ll find yourself in! Take a moment to breathe in the highlands air and sit on their benches to relax – a pleasant reminder that you’re far from the busy city life.

Finally, head back to the caravans and get ready to pack up to check-out! Remember to have lunch at their café or nearby coffee shops before departing for your 2h drive back!
If you’re looking for fun activities to do instead of visiting their attractions, Stellar Golden Hill offers many different activities that you can find on their website as well! Some activities include jungle trekking, painting, and more!
Lastly, a gentle reminder that Cameron Highlands does not offer Grab services or public transport. To get around conveniently, a car is necessary. Alternatively, you can rent a taxi for RM30/hour with Stellar Golden Hill.
We hope you’ll be able to enjoy a short getaway to unwind!
