Cameron Highlands

The high altitude Cameron Highlands are home to vast tea plantations that stretch across the hillsides, such as the Boh tea estate pictured above. Boh tea is the most popular brand in Malaysia, and is owned by a Scottish family.

We also visited an ethnic Malay (Orang Asli) village, nestled in among the tea plantations. The land is protected by the government, who also subsidise housing for the villagers. Unfortunately some of the villagers aren't keen on the concrete buildings the government have provided, believing them to be haunted, and prefer to live in tiny corrugated shacks constructed in their back gardens instead.
