Pros

  • 2 days - Cameron Highlands: Tea plantations and hikes.
  • On peninsular Malaysia you have vibrant Kuala Lumpur, charming towns and beaches of Penang, cool-weathered Cameron Highlands tea culture and plantations, and you can see the Orangutans in Borneo.
  • Cameron Highlands for tea plantations and the jungle
  • I haven't been to the Cameron Highlands but I wish we visited, it looks really chill.
  • For culture/sightseeing: West coast of Malaysia. KL, Penang, Melaka, Cameron Highlands, etc.

Cons

  • You absolutely do not need a week in the Cameron Highlands. Do a day trip or at the very most, spend 2 days/1 night, sandwiched between your KL and Penang stay, since it’s geographically between those 2 locations.
  • Cameron Highlands is lovely, but the road there is pretty bad and you will spend a lot of time in a car.
  • One suggestion for your itinerary would be to skip Cameron Highlands. It’s more rainy than other places and I’ve heard it’s basically one street with touristy places.
  • If you go even furter to the north. You can find tea plantations in the Cameron Highlands. The road there is slow and full of curves, so if you want to see the vast green tea plantations, be prepared for that.
