Adventure and Eco Tours
Countryside Tours at Strawberry Park Resort
Since the discovery of the Cameron Highlands by William Cameron in 1885, the highlands have not only been transformed into a farming land and a retreat for the wealthy Chinese businessman but have also become the most popular destination for local and foreign holiday makers alike.
In 1929, the Scot, John Archibald Russell, was the first person to be granted a piece of land to cultivate tea in this region. Today, his company Boh Plantations is the biggest tea grower in Malaysia. This half-day tour will take you to one of his tea plantations to watch the processing of black tea and later to sample various kinds of tea in the tea house. After the tea break, we will visit our local fruit and vegetable market, an apiary farm, Butterfly garden, Chinese Buddhist temple, Cactus and Flower gardens and lastly a Strawberry farm.
Hill Forest Walk at Strawberry Park Resort
Malaysia's highland forests offer some of the most breathtaking scenery and diverse flora and fauna in Malaysia. Our highland forests are a treasure trove of vibrantly colourful birds, delicate orchids, ferns, palms, mosses, fungi, wild ginger plants and cool, lush mountain peaks. But they are more than just a pretty picture- they perform essential ecological functions that keep our environment healthy and clean.
Cameron Highlands is blessed with many trails dotted around the highlands. Some are for soft core and some for hard core trekkers. Even though there are some easy trails that you can walk on your own, it is always advisable to engage a local guide. This short guided walk from Arcadia bungalow to Mardi station in Tanah Rata will enable you to explore the differences between our hill and lowland forests.
Mossy Forest Walk at Strawberry Park Resort
Mosses and liverworts are commonly regarded as useless. Although they do not have direct economic value, they are important in many other respects. They play an important role for the water balance of ecosystems in the forests and bogs by storing large amounts of water. In tropical montane rainforests they function as huge reservoirs, supplying water to the streams and rivers in a balanced manner throughout the year. Mosses and liverworts do not only store water like a sponge but also prevents erosion by fixing the uppermost layer of soil, especially in steep slopes. Just like every organism, mosses and liverworts have certain functions in the ecosystems such as providing micro-habitats for small animals, germination of seeds or food for certain beetles.
This 2 hour walk to Gunung Brinchang at 6,666ft. above sea level will allow you to discover how the mossy forest plays its part in providing us with the water upon which we depend on water that is clean and mountain fresh. The return journey will take us through carpets of manicured tea bushes where some of the best black tea is produced. After a guided tour to the processing factory, refreshments will be served at the Boh tea house.
Asli Village Tour at Strawberry Park Resort
Cameron Highlands are known for the high population of natives still living in the forests. In the early sixties, some of them have been re-settled by the government to the new area of their choice. To improve their standard of living, the government has not only supplied their settlement with water and electricity but also helped them to find jobs in the government and private sectors.
Some of the natives still prefer not to be re-settled as they do not want to trade in their peace and quiet for the hustle and bustle of bigger towns or developed areas.
This 4x4 tour will take you to some of these settlements where the inhabitants prefer to live in harmony with their natural environment.
