Re: Great Time at Camerons! - 2005/10/27 10:23
Hi Dan
Start early, abt 7am (in case jam at causeway), unless going in on a weekday. Use the N-S highway & drive all the way to Simpang Pulai, past the Tapah exit to CH. Tapah is the old winding road up, more narrow & personally, I feel it's more dangerous for inexperienced drivers. The new road is via Simpang Pulai exit. You'll see signs to CH, tho' not very big ones (almost missed them when we're there last Dec), so keep a lookout for them. It's a much wider road, less winding. You'll reach Kg Raja, Brinchang first, then Tanah Rata. If from Tapah, you'll reach Ringglet, Tanah Rata, then Brinchang i.e. opposite directions.
You don't even realise you're going up CH using this new road, 'cos it's a much easier drive. DO DRIVE SLOWLY as there are still some sharp bends and reckless drivers going up & down CH cutting into your path!
It's worth taking the longer NS highway to exit at Simpang Pulai, then exit at Tapah. Tapah to Tanah Rata is abt 56km, but abt 2.5hours uphill & more car-sick passengers! Whereas from Simpang Pulai, less time & no car-sick passengers (well, at least my kids are OK this trip!)  It's good to wind down the windows when you reach CH or when carsick!
Have a blessed trip!
