Need directions to CH from Penang - 2008/10/03 17:25 Can anyone please give me directions on how to get to CH from Penang?
Do I just go to Ipoh and the follow directions given here on the site? Or is there another way to by-pass Ipoh? Using the PLUS highway is not a problem.

Thanks very much

Re:Need directions to CH from Penang - 2008/10/04 19:40 Hi Skn, I am from singapore. If I am not wrong there are two routes to CH from Penang. Either you go into Ipoh or from the highway exit at Simpang Pulai or Tapah.

I suggest yo take the Simpang Pulai way up to CH. The road is less winding, much broader and view is just as good as the Tapah way. By Tapah you will reach Ringlets, then Tanah Rata and finally Brinchang.

From Simpang Pulai, you will be at Brinchang first, then down to Tanah Rata and further down is Ringlet and then its to Tapah.

From Singapore we reach Tapah first, from Penang you will reach Simpang Pulai first. But I usually pass Tapah and drive about another 50plus km I exit at Simpang Pulai. My wife prefer this route less sharp bends. We feel safer and the time taken is not much different. Have a nice trip. We are also planning to go sometime in Jan. Off peak, cooler and less houseflies. Hope my info helps.

Re:Need directions to CH from Penang - 2008/10/05 12:59 Hai Andrew,

Coming to Cameron Highlands from Penang is very simple. Just drive towards Kuala Lumpur direction along the North South highway. When you reach Ipoh look out for Simpang Pulai sign board. Get into Simpang Pulai, after the toll turn right on the first traffic light then turn right again on the next traffic light. Then come all the way up hill till you reach the Pahang/Perak border. About a kilometer then you will see the sign board to Cameron Highlands. Turn right from there and just drive till you reach Kg Raja. Once you reach Kg Raja turn left after the bridge and just carry on your driving till you reach Brinchang follow by Tanah Rata.
