Things to Do in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia: Walking Guide

Cameron Highlands is a cool‑climate mountain retreat in Pahang, Malaysia, known for its tea plantations, strawberry farms and misty green landscapes.

Exploring Cameron Highlands

Time Tunnel (museum)

In Brinchang you’ll find the Time Tunnel, also called the Time Tunnel Museum. Established in January 2007, it is recognised as Malaysia’s first memorabilia museum. Inside, eight galleries spread over about 1,300 square metres display more than 4,000 objects—photographs, artefacts and other memorabilia that illustrate everyday Malaysian life before the Second World War. The museum occupies the lower level of Kok Lim Strawberry Farm and runs along more than 80 metres of space.

All Souls’ Church, Cameron Highlands

In Tanah Rata stands All Souls’ Church, an Anglican place of worship founded in 1958. It belongs to the Anglican Diocese of West Malaysia and is also linked with the Council of Churches, Malaysia. The building forms part of the town’s historic landscape and is a quiet spot for visitors interested in the area’s colonial religious heritage.

Kayangan Mosque

Also in Brinchang is Kayangan Mosque, known locally as Masjid Kayangan Brinchang. The mosque serves the Muslim community of the Cameron Highlands and is a notable landmark while you walk through the town’s centre.

Masjid Abu Bakar

When you are in Tanah Rata, look for Masjid Abu Bakar, situated in Tanah Tinggi Cameron. This mosque contributes to the multicultural character of the highland town and reflects the everyday religious life of its residents.
