Review of the Cameron Highlands day tour from Kuala Lumpur, with tea plantations, strawberries, lunch, flower gardens, waterfall views, and practical tips.
“Cameron Highlands itself is very beautiful, however the journey from Kuala Lumpur is very long and tiring. On the way, you will stop by a strawberry farm that we did not like at all (unnecessary stop, tbh) and by the agro market where you will visit a place that looks like built just for instagrammers...
