But the overwhelming impressions are of nature on one hand and commercialism on the other. As we strolled out through the gift shop and many souvenir/toy stalls, we thought we’d be happy to visit again, but it might not be for quite a while. The cost is RM15 for adults, RM10 for kids over 5.
Ever wonder where they get those lavender themed soft toys that are always displayed behind someone’s car? Yeah, we just found out that you can actually get those at The Lavender House, right at the Cameron Lavender Garden. Other than soft-toy, the souvenir shop also sells replica lavender potted plants, baby shower hampers, mini decoration, fragrances and many more.
If you have not visited Cameron Lavender before, I highly recommend that you do so. Most people spend one or two hours in this attraction.
In short, the place is bonkers, but provided enough fun (and a slide) that we ended up there for longer than an hour in the end, which I certainly didn’t expect when I saw the sign from the road. Enjoyable, if you like a little kitsch.
Coral Hill in Cameron Highlands is one such hike. At 1573 metres, reaching its peak sounds daunting, but with a starting altitude of 1556 metres, an elevation gain well under 50 metres and a trail less than 1 kilometre, Coral Hill is equitable, achievable and easily squeezed into a single morning.
