Travel by air
 
Malaysia Airlines operates international flights from major destinations around the world to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), Sepang. From there, you can transfer to the Cameron Highlands Resort in a private car via the North-South Expressway.

Alternatively, those traveling to and from Singapore also have the option of flying into Ipoh Airport or Skypark Subang Terminal (formerly known as Terminal 3 Subang) via Firefly and continue the journey to the Resort in a private car.

Directions By Road - From The South

  1. To drive up Cameron Highlands from the South, take the North-South Expressway and head up north.
  2. You will pass the following towns along the North-South Expressway: Rawang - Tanjung Malim - Slim River - Sungkai - Bikam - Bidor - Tapah - Gopeng - Simpang Pulai.
  3. There are two roads leading up to Cameron Highlands. One is the old road from Tapah town and another from Simpang Pulai, which is the new route.

Tapah Exit
There are some narrow and sharp turns that you have to be careful of if you are taking this route from Tapah. Sound the horn if you feel you need to let oncoming traffic know of your existence behind that sharp bend. There will also be heavy vehicles going up and down this road, so be careful when overtaking another car. There is no mobile phone coverage for most the way up Cameron Highlands and you will find interesting stalls along the road where the Orang Asli display their handicraft and forest products for sale.

Exit the Tapah Interchange (Exit 132) on the North-South Expressway after passing Bidor town. At the traffic lights right after the tollbooth, turn left and follow the road all the way up to Cameron Highlands.

Simpang Pulai Exit (recommended route)
The new route from Simpang Pulai is less winding and the road is wider. As such, drivers tend to speed here, but watch out for the sharp bends at some stretches. There is no mobile phone coverage along this route up Cameron Highlands and the driving time is longer compared to the route from Tapah.

From the North-South Expressway, exit at the Simpang Pulai interchange (Exit 137). Turn right and follow the road signs up Cameron Highlands. You will pass by Kampung Raja, Kuala Terla, Tringkap and Brinchang before reaching Cameron Highlands Resort in Tanah Rata.

Directions By Road - From The North

  1. If you are coming from the states up North of Peninsula Malaysia, head down south towards Kuala Lumpur via the North-South Expressway.
  2. Exit the Simpang Pulai interchange (Exit 137). Turn right and follow the road signs up Cameron Highlands. You will pass by Kampung Raja, Kuala Terla,
    Tringkap and Brinchang before reaching Cameron Highlands Resort in Tanah Rata.
