Steamboat Dinner sounds good.........after a long day's ride and taking into consideration that Cameron will be packed that weekend, I support this arrangement for Dinner in house.

Can we have the program pls?

Bro, the full details are also available on the first page of this thread, I update the posts there as well.

what about those on day trip ...what time leaving cameron highland ??

I think the daytrippers may want to discuss this amongst themselves... Perhaps shoot-off after the afternoon tea break at Cameron Bharat plantation in Kuala Terla?

you want to go ka ? hmmnnn... see if the klang boys wanna join...:burnout:

The more, the merrier!

where's de water fall located? tot of going on day 2, but then, with the rush...mmm

Which waterfall do you mean? There are a number in CH. I know of one, I think it's Robinson falls, within a long walk's distance from Century Pines (I've walked there). There's also Parit Falls I think... maybe closer to Century Pines (saw a sign that said 400m) - but no personal experience. I'm still planning on the full day tour as some of the places are inaccessible unless you go by 4x4, and the Boh Sg Palas plantation is very nice especially after the renovation (I went before renovation) but I dare not bring my UDM in on that road.
