About Mount Batu Brinchang

"If a visit to the Cameron Highlands in Malaysia is on your bucket list, this is the trip for you. Among these mountains is Gunung Brinchang, also known as Mount Batu Brinchang, the highest mountain in the Highlands, at over 2,000 m (6,000 ft).

Imagine the panoramic views you will gain from its summit, which boasts an observation tower and micro-station. The lush greenery stretches for miles. There are two ways to reach the top. It is the highest mountain in the country that has road access. Hike up the nature trail or go for a leisurely drive. 

Because of its height, Gunung Brinchang sees a lot of rain, and the forests are blanketed in mist. The moisture creates an environment rich in exotic plants such as ferns, orchids, and spices. Let Mother Nature’s warmth surround you, no matter which way you decide to travel. "
