Step into a magical world at the Mossy Forest, one of the oldest forests in Malaysia, over 200 million years old. Located near the top of Mount Brinchang, this stunning 914-hectare forest is a must-visit. Take a 20-minute ride up in a Land Cruiser to 2,031 meters above sea level – the highest drive in Southeast Asia – and enjoy breathtaking views of the Sungai Palas Tea Plantation.
The forest feels like something out of a fairytale, with moss-covered trees and mist floating through the air. Walk along a 200-meter boardwalk and explore this mystical place. For the best experience, it’s recommended to visit with a local guide, as the forest can be challenging to navigate. If you're up for it, take a hike to Mount Irau, the highest peak in Cameron Highlands.
Best visited early in the morning, so wear comfortable clothes and be ready for a cool adventure.
