Town of Kampung Raja from its mosque

Continued from Summit of Mount Brinchang from its viewing tower.

After Mount Brinchang I went to the town of Kampung Raja and stopped at its mosque. Its position at a higher ground provided vantage views of the town.

Once upon a time this northern-most town of Cameron Highlands hardly received visitors.

Then, it was considered far from tourist attractions as visitors could only reach the highlands from the southern route in Tapah.

Since a decade ago or so, the Simpang Pulai route from Ipoh was opened providing access to Cameron from the north.

From that route and the later opened Gua Musang route which meets the Simpang Pulai route 3 km from here everyone must pass through Kampung Raja to get to the tourist spots thus boosting development of this area.
