By Road
1. From The South Via Tapah
The traveling time varies from point of origin. Cameron Highlands is 300km from Kuala Lumpur. it takes about 3 to 4 hours to get here via the North-South Expressway (NSE). From KL, get into the NSE by following the green expressway sign that reads "Ipoh". Once you're on the expressway, keep on driving north until you reach Tapah(about 1.5 hours). Take Exit 132, and turn left at the traffic lights right after the toll booth. From here onwards you will be on the long winding road to Cameron Highlands (about 60 km's). If you're driving from the north just take Exit 132 at Tapah and follow the same direction. It takes an average of 1.5 hours to reach Tanah Rata from Tapah.
2. From The North Via Simpang Pulai / Ipoh
Now that the new road from Simpang Pulai is open, more people are traveling to the highlands via this route. The road conditions are much better here than the Tapah route and it only takes about 45 minutes Kampung Raja from Simpang Pulai. Take Exit 137 (Simpang Pulai) and turn right at the traffic light right after the toll booth. Turn right again at the next traffic light about 400 metres away. You are now on the way to Cameron Highlands. Eventually you will see signs to Kampung Raja or Cameron Highlands along the way. After about 1 hour, you will reach Kampung Raja where you will have to turn right from the new road into Kampung Raja town. You're now in Cameron Highlands and you can just follow the main road to your destination. Brinchang / Tanah Rata is about 25-30kms from here.
