Cameron highlands,plantations


The Cameron Highlands provide a break from the hot, humid weather elsewhere in Malaysia. The fruit, vegetables and renowned tea plantations flourish here.

The Cameron Highlands provide Malaysia with most of its fruit and vegetables, but is more famous for its tea plantations. It is a beautiful, lush area and many people go to experience the jungle walks, waterfalls and cool weather. We visited the Boh Tea Estate via a short jungle walk and a lift from a local. The views over the plantation are beautiful. On the way back, we stopped in at the Highland Apiary Farm ( 1/2 klm Jalan Boh,39200 Ringlet. Cameron Highlands. PH: 019 503 8511). The owners gave us samples of their delicious honey and the Royal Jelly ( bee excrement ). The Royal Jelly is rich in protein , apparently very nutritious and is recommended for "women's beautification". It is the secretion from bees after digesting pollen and is eaten by the queen bee.
