The night trip from Gua Musang to Cameron Highlands...

Continued from The road from Dabong to Gua Musang


From Gua Musang we took the new route to Cameron Highlands in Pahang. This is the first time I went this way although the route which leads all the way to Simpang Pulai in Ipoh, Perak has been completed for a number of years now...


I started taking pictures after an hour or so on the route. While I have been told the view is superb in daylight as this route cuts through the main range of Banjaran Titiwangsa with some parts going over 1,000 metres above sea level, it was dark all the way until we reached this point where we could see some sort of strange glowing lights on the hillsides...


By then we were close to entering Pahang. The Kelantan side lies in an area known as Lojing...


As we went on we could see where the strange-looking glowing light came from... from some sort of green houses to cultivate plants, flowers and vegetables I believe...


Here we were about to reach the junction to the famous hill resort of Cameron Highlands...


We took the junction and reached Kampung Raja...


Next on this route is Kampung Terla...


Then Tringkap one of the small towns of Cameron Highlands...


Now this trip to Cameron Highlands was only decided on when we reached Gua Musang. The last time I was in the highlands was probably more than 5 years ago...


This is Brinchang, one of the small towns where travellers like to lodge at...


Here we fill in the petrol again...


Then we decided to press on...


It's only at Tanah Rata we stopped to find a place to lodge at...
