Cameron Highland - New Access Road

There is a new access road to Cameron Highland. You now have 2 options, going via Ringlet (old road) or via Simpang Pulai (new road).

If you want to try the new Road, from PLUS highway, exit at Simpang Pulai tol. Right after paying, turn right at the T-junction. Soon after it, there is a traffic light, turn right again.

Drive straight all the way, for approximately 45min, take a right turn at the traffic light - or else you'll go to the East coast. Go straight all the way, and you will reach the Brinchang town of Cameron Highland, i.e. the top of the mount if you come from the old road (the other side!).

With this road, the YTL's resort (old Merlin) will be on your right, and the golf course will be on your left.

This road is much easier to drive than the old one. We took this road on New Year Eve. I didn't know that we were actually climbing, and da-da-da-da! I was already there! No motion sickness at all, no windy roads.

One weakness of this road is, it takes just too long to get there. From Sungai Buloh tol, it took us 4 hours to reach Brinchang. It was 1 hour longer than Fraser's Hill!
