Really mysterious and indeed a mossy forest. Beautiful quiet walk with incredible views. Don't miss the viewing point that is located nearby, about 5 minute walk to top of the hill. If you don't want to get muddy, there is also a great canopy walk you can take into the forest. This place really makes you feel like you are... More

A cool, wet, mossy paradise with some carnivorous plant life. Very beautiful and worth a visit if you're in Cameron Highlands. Expect to get very muddy shoes though! I arranged a half-day tour through Hill Top tours which also included tea plantation, butterfly park, and strawberry farm for RM40! They were very professional and the guide was knowledgeable.

It is possible to see the forest on your own. Be aware if you rent a scooter you will not be allowed to drive it to the forest. The forest is located at the top of Mount Brinchang and scooters are not allowed on that road. If you have rented a car in another town you can drive to the... More

The mossy forest was one of the highlights of my trip. We walked all the way to the end and it was fantastic! We could see many mountains and birds in the distance. I had tons of fun! For us, it started raining in between but we wore our ponchos and continued. There were many power stations where we could... More

Access to the mossy forest is by foot (one option a 3hr walk to the highest adjacent point from town) or by a steep road that climbs up to the mossy forest from a junction near the Boh Tea Plantation. Whilst the road is manageable by car it is steep & narrow with many curves & could be a challenge... More

I think it is better to take up a tour to this mossy forest as the tour guide can drive you to and fro between your hotel and the forest, but depending on which tour company you choose. We signed up for the Mossy Forest four-hour package at RM50 from Kang Tours and Travel Sdn Bhd. In this package, they... More

Never know and not to mention see this kind of forest in my life, it's a real eye opener. Come here you have never seen a cloud forest yet. I... More

We got to experience the forest with and without the trail. With the trail, the view was amazing. Without the trail, the experience was great!

The mossy forest is one of the most fun activities in Cameron Highlands. If you're an adventurer and don't mind getting your shoes dirty, you should go for the forest trail, it's way more fun than the wooden trail, and you get too see and learn about the wildlife in the process. The weather was perfect for this awesome trip!

If you have been to Cameron Highlands a few times and never been to Gunung Brinchang/Mossy Forest, you should go there. The view is fantastic but you need to walk/drive quite far to reach the top of the mountain/mossy forest. There is a walk path provided for us to access the forest, you may stop once a while. There are... More
