Gunung (Mount) Brinchang is the 2nd highest peak in Cameron Highland.  It is 2032m above sea level (roughly 6,666ft).  The safer path going up is through the tar road.  The road branch off from the way to Sungei Palas tea plantation and one can drive up to the top.  However, the road up is narrow and winding and very steep.
The main attraction up the hill is to see the sun rise.  There are organised tours going up which start early in the morning, about 6.30am and cost about RM60.00 per person.

My wife and myself decided to hike up mount Brinchang.  So a day earlier, on 17.2.09, we drove to Sungei Palas tea plantation to see where we have to turn off to get to the peak.  On 18.2.09 morning, it was too cold and wet to start early and so we started about 7.30am.  The way up is very steep and we park our car half way up the peak and walked.  The morning air here is cold and walking up the steep slope is difficult.  Oh the feeling was great when the peak came into sight. 

Well we did not see the sun rise but to see the great view from atop is worth our effort.

The trees are covered with thick moss and some do look scary
