You step off the van into a world the clouds still remember. Mist hangs low, fingers of vapor threading between gnarled oaks and trunks draped in velvet moss. The boardwalk ahead runs roughly 2 km through the high-elevation mossy forest before the rise to Gunung Brinchang’s ridgeline, and each footfall is softened by years of damp growth.

Wildlife
History
The Cameron Highlands were developed as a cool retreat during the British colonial era; many tea estates and farms date to that period and shape the region’s agricultural landscape.
Conservation
The boardwalk was installed to limit trampling of sensitive moss and root systems; visitors are asked to stay on paths and avoid collecting plants to help preserve the fragile cloud forest.
