Before strawberry farms and tea plantations displaced some of the landscape, Cameron Highlands was an untouched valley of rainforest home to indigenous tribes - a destination for intrepid explorers in search of adventure. Today, tourist development has made an indelible mark on the environment, but there are still many nature attractions to discover on a trail in the rainforest.
Each official path is officially tagged with a number, and this can be viewed from any of the tourist maps of Cameron Highlands sold in town. On any these trails, visitors can hope to see some of Malaysia's exciting wildlife, including animals such as colourful birds, shy monkeys, squirrels and a myriad of insects.
