Begin your day by visiting one of Malaysia's largest tea plantations; the Cameron Valley Tea, which reflects the deep passion and commitment of the Chettiar family from South India to produce quality tea under British rule in Malaya.

Founded in the 20th century, this sprawling plantation, with its lush flora and tranquil surroundings, offers a pleasant respite from city life. Visitors are welcome to enjoy panoramic views of perfectly maintained tea plants, drink high-quality teas and participate in guided tours to learn about the sophisticated tea production process.

Next, visit the local Strawberry Farm; a highlight of Cameron Highlands, offering an insider’s look into this beloved fruit's cultivation process. Strawberry farms, which were first established as part of the region's developing agricultural sector, have since grown in popularity, with numerous farms reflecting its rich history through the different activities offered. You may visit Kasimanis Strawberry Farm, Raaju's Hill Strawberry Farm, Big Red Strawberry Farm, The Lavender Garden, Healthy Strawberry Farm or Abang Strawberry Farm, all of which are within a 20-minute drive from the Cameron Valley Tea Estate. Each farm offers a distinct experience, ranging from farm tours and fruit-picking to opportunities to savour fresh strawberries and handcrafted delicacies; a must-see and do for any Cameron Highlands visit.
