Cameron Highlands - getting there
By car
Exit the North-South highway at Exit 132 (Persimpangan Tapah),
approximately 143km from KL toll.(Toll rate: RM17.70). As you exit from the
toll, turn left at the traffic junction. Follow the roadsigns. Tanah Rata is 59km
from Tapah town.
OR alternatively, take the new mountain road from the Simpang Pulai junction
off the North/South Highway. Exit at the Simpang Pulai toll, at the first traffic
lights turn right. Go down this road and when you get to another set of
traffic lights, turn right again. This road will take you all the way to Kampung
Raja in Cameron Highlands.
Word of advice: If you're thinking of driving up to Camerons during public
holiday periods ie. christmas, chinese new year, deepavali, hari raya - avoid
taking the new road as traffic can be very heavy at the Kea Farm and
Brinchang town area due to shoppers stopping to buy vegetables and fruits
from stalls lining the road. Unless you're staying at Brinchang, there's no
need to get all riled up on holiday being stuck in traffic.
By train
Take the train to Tapah and from here take a taxi to Tanah Rata. The taxi
costs RM60 in the morning and RM70 in the evening, per way per taxi. Or you
could wait for the bus if its not too late in the evening. There are regular local
buses arriving at the Tapah Road train station and leaving for Tanah Rata.
The fare costs about RM4.00 per way.

By bus
bus & taxi station at tanah rata
Please refer to the camerons bus schedule page . Just a note of advice, buy
your bus tickets early as the buses to KL, Penang and Ipoh are often full.
Those intending to connect to other parts of Malaysia, take a local cameron's
bus down to Tapah and connect with other interstate buses there. Be warned
though that during festive seasons, these buses may charge double of the
stated prices due to demand. If you want to ensure a ticket, book with your
resort.
A new Bus Terminal was in the process of completion during our visit on 4th
Nov 2005. This is located in Jln Besar, the main street in Tanah Rata and only
a stones throw from the old bus station.
