Gunung Brinchang is the highest peak in Cameron Highlands and the highest point in Malaysia accessible by road. Standing at 2031m, it is visible from most parts of Tanah Rata and Brinchang with a telecomunications tower on the peak. The summit offers a great panorama of the surrounding areas.It is 7km from the base of the turn-off from the road into Sungai Palas tea estate to the peak and is a steep uphill climb
Upon reaching the peak of Brinchang, at the tall viewing tower to wait for the sun. There was already we were mesmerised – by the spectacular 360° view of tranquil, verdant hills, some of which were blanketed in thick rolls of cottony clouds and others swathed in ribbons of ethereal mists
Buffeted occasionally by strong, bone-chilling winds, and saw the sun rising majestically between the hills. Yup, the Morning Madness tour certainly gave a new perspective to our Cameron Highlands getaway.
