Cameron Highlands - around Tanah Rata Jul 11-13 2016

   CAMERON HIGHLANDS Tanah Rata ( Trails #4, #10, Bukit Jasar) Cloudy all the nights so milky way photography was out instead we got familiar with this Tanah Rata during our 3 nights stay.   [  this blog is still under construction..]


  Check out Bintang Pudu Hotel near Pudu LRT on Monday morning.and went Tasek Selatan to board the bus @ TBS to Tanah Rata via the old route up. It was winding roads but not as bad as I thought.  Along the road were familiar road side stalls selling  'smelly bean' or Petai  hanging on strings, little piles of durian here and there and rattan - ware from other states? I never see any vehicles pulled up and buy so poor business huh?

   For a change this time we stayed at Tanah Rata instead of going towards north Brinchang. We had climbed Mt Brinchang some years back and had loved the pasar Malam there. Night temperature here further south goes down to 18.6 degree at 4.03am.  Much cooler than my 24 degree ac setting at home.

Temperature 18.6 c 

  First night we stayed at Matan di Hotel but switched to the famous Father's Guess House but only one night available. We meet Jasen who was our guide in 2014 Gunung Brinchang trekking. On subsequent night we stayed at KRS pine nearby. On the first day we just wander around the small town with its indian eateries from the Clinic end passing the Marrybrown chicken ( KFC equivalent) towards MayBank.

WE had chicken rice here.

Me on top of Bukit Jasar (Pahang 1696m) literally! The rectangular cement block marks the location.

 There are several trails available for walking.  We singled out  #4 and #10.  Detail route map can be found posted on Father's Guess house noticeboard.
