Mossy Forest

Despite the frequent climbs, this place is a natural wonder that isn’t overly exhausting. It was so enjoyable to hike or climb there that I never wanted to leave. Once you reach the top, a breathtaking view awaits you. I highly recommend anyone passing through to visit this forest and go for a walk.

Parking is free but limited. The entrance fee is RM10 for Malaysian, and RM30 for foreigners. The trail is an easy walk with a wooden staircase and walkway, and the view from the top is beautiful. We went without a guide, so we didn't get to learn about the history of forest and plants. Be prepared for the cold temperatures and note that there are no toilets available.

Well, if this place happens to be on your hiking or walking trail, then yes, do visit it. ​The idea of driving to this place, especially after four hours in traffic, is baffling. It is perhaps 100 meters of crowded boardwalk, and while the moss is there, it is not overwhelming. I saw comparable moss on my hiking trails (10, 6, 12).

Had been wanting to come here ever since I saw a poster many years back. Except I had wanted to hike here- I was quite surprised to find out that the trail is a bunch of wooden steps. Had fun walking about and clicking pics at every corner. The ticket price is rather high though - 30rm per person for foreigners regardless of whether you have an iKad or not.

Lovely place! No need for a sunny weather, being inside the clouds makes it even more magical :) No mosquito but a bit chilly so take a jacket or sweater. Entrance fee is 30RM/person, trail is very easy, around 30min. You need a 4WD to go up there and down (30-45min each way) so I recommend to book your transport in advance (private driver or book a tour) because you probably won’t find a Grab to take you and walking there is not really possible (road with no sidewalk on several km).

A Must-See in Cameron Highland. We skipped the half-day tour package as we only wanted to go see the forest. Just go to Nova Highlands Hotel at 0830 or 1030 to catch the transportation to go up to the main entrance of Mossy Forest. Fee is RM35 + RM10 for entry fee per head. Jeep will go when it fulfilled a minimum 4 passengers. The entire boardwalk will cover around 45-55 minutes and you will experience a cooler weather and mossy forest. Great for family too. Avoid weekends as this place will be very crowded. Overall, we enjoyed our time up there.

Mossy Forest is a nice stop along the Highlands route. The walk takes about 30 minutes along a wooden boardwalk. It was a bit cold early in the morning, and there were quite a few people, but the atmosphere is interesting, with lots of moss and greenery. Worth a quick visit if you're in the area.

A mossy forest, also known as a cloud forest, is a type of high-altitude tropical and subtropical forest characterized by a consistent, heavy layer of cloud cover, mist, and high humidity. This unique environment creates ideal conditions for the growth of a dense carpet of moss, lichens, ferns, and other epiphytes (plants that grow on other plants) that cover the trunks, branches, and ground of the forest. Mossy forests are a rare and fragile ecosystem, found in tropical and subtropical mountainous regions around the world. Significant examples are located in: Southeast Asia: This is one of the most well-known regions for mossy forests, particularly in Malaysia (Cameron Highlands), Indonesia, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka.
