Hemmant Trail

Reviewed By lovemykidsallthetime - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Pretty easy walk. Reasonably dry in spite of the constant rain from the night before. Can be done one way very quickly. Went one way (1km) & walked along the road by the golf course, into the town centre and back to the car park by the mosque, approximately 3.5km round trip.

Cameron Highlands Trail No. 10

Reviewed By mayanks926

Goes through a construction site at first, then a really nice flat forested bit, then starts climbing (still in forest). Climbing is well supported by tree roots, and the whole trail is well shaded by trees. Decently marked, but use maps.me to be sure you don't get lost. Took us about 2 hours, but we went slowly.

Cameron Highlands Jungle Trail No. 1

Reviewed By Fernwehjourney

We did the path no 1 in Dezember 2019. We used the maps.me offline card to navigate. We hitchhiked from Taha Rata to the start point. It was quite easy to find the start of no 1 with the maps.me navigation. The hike itself is not easy. A lot up and downs, climbing over fallen trees. At some point were ropes and we were happy to use them. This path guided you through jungle, the mossy forest and you also have to walk through a small river. You don‘t see any tea plantages on the way up. And some point we‘re not sure if we were still on path no1 but after 4 hours of walking we ended on the parking place of the mossy forest and hitchhiked back to the city. Ps: There are some signs at the EXIT that the path is closed from November - January... but yeah we saw the sign after we did the path and everything was fine.

Bishop Trail

Reviewed By m4501

We hiked this trail on a morning in late December when the fog had rolled in. The scenery was amazing in the mist. The weather made bird watching a little more difficult but we still got to see some species. The birds were not super active when we went but that's just the luck of the draw. We also heard tree frogs calling and saw two foot-long millipedes, which were amazing! Some parts of the trail before Muar Cottage aren't fully clear. We (mid-20s able-bodied couple) had to crawl through a tunnel of vegetation at one point. We were fine with it, just keep in mind if you have anyone in your group who might struggle with that sort of activity. We started on Hemmant Trail and hiked through to the end of Bishop Trail, which is easy to do if you bring a map. Would recommend this trail.

Cameron Highlands Trail No. 5 and 7

Reviewed By Benizou - Malaysia, null

Both of us having bad knees, after trail 10 and 6, we decided to go for an easy trek the second day. We did a combination of trail n 5, 3 and 4. Our favorite was n 5 which was very easy but it was a real rain forest experience. No one was there except us and the only sounds that we could hear were the sounds of the forest : different birds tweets, trees squeeking, the sound of falling leaves and monkeys. We recommend this trail to all nature and animal lovers.
