Views around Tanah Rata

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




1st September 2009, a morning view of Tanah Rata...




And a view to the right from our hotel room of course...





Soon it's time to check out and explore more of Tanah Rata...



For the record Tanah Rata is the main town in Cameron Highlands. It is called Tanah Rata (literally the level ground) as it lies on a relatively large plateu. The highlands is situated at 1,800 metres above sea level. Most parts lie on gradients of hillsides and are hardly level...




At the local park lies giant replicas of vegetables signifying Cameron Highland as a famous place for vegetable produce...





Here one could see a certain river running through it...






We went further towards the greens...



Green houses like these are common where vegetables and flowers are grown in a controlled climate, green houses which when lighted at night glows like some sort of giant radio-active alien worm or centipede as shown (although not as clear as viewed by my own naked eyes) in the article The night trip from Gua Musang to Cameron Highlands...











We soon arrive at this part of the river which runs through Tanah Rata...







I left the car to take a walk into the jungle...





This is where the river gives way to a waterfall, the rather famous Robinson Falls...















We next went to the local TM (Telekom Malaysia) apartments to check out the rates and the view, maybe for future visits. For the record, my wife is a TM employee and she can get very good discounted rates...





One could already catch a superb view of Tanah Rata from the car park...






And here's my then 8-month-old pregnant wife posing just outside the lobby with our little car in view...
