What is the BOH Tea Estate?

It's Malaysia's oldest and largest tea plantation, offering scenic viewpoints, factory tours, and a cafe overlooking the rolling tea fields.

Is the Cameron Highlands cold?

It's noticeably cooler than lowland Malaysia due to its elevation, though 'cold' is relative — temperatures are mild rather than genuinely cold.
