Gunung Brinchang Cameron Highlands

Gunung Brinchang is the home of the famed mossy forest in Cameron Highlands. From anywhere in Brinchang, the sharp peak portruding from a level range lined with telecommunication towers, can be seen. The peak is often obscured by mist in the mornings and late afternoons. The view tends to clear in the late mornings and close to dusk. If there is heavy rain, then forget about getting a view at all. The gravel road that leads to the peak from near the Butterfly Garden is a 9 km stretch that has been recognised as the highest road in the country. This is because the peak of Gunung Brinchang stands at 2,000 meters high. There is a watch tower at the peak which is small and often crowded with visitors; wait your turn patiently to climb up the steel ladders and then grab the amazing view of clouds and forest. Some families or groups of young travellers also like to come up here during the night, camp and enjoy a barbeque fire on the mountain tops.
