Workation in Cameron Highlands: the essentials
William Cameron, a government geologist, mapped this tableland in 1885 and development began in the 1930s, which makes the Cameron Highlands one of Malaysia's oldest holiday areas. It lies in north-western Pahang at 800 to about 1,600 metres, a string of small settlements including Tanah Rata, Brinchang and Ringlet among tea estates, strawberry farms and mossy forest. Cool mornings are the draw, since air conditioning is rarely needed. Guesthouse connections are the usual setup, so test yours early and plan to work from your room. The access roads jam on public holidays when Kuala Lumpur, about 200 km south, empties into the hills, and the nearest airport is at Ipoh, roughly 90 km away by mountain road.
