Is Cameron Highlands safe for solo female travelers?

Cameron Highlands, has a good reputation for safety and hospitality. The people are generally friendly and eager to assist tourists. However, like anywhere else, it's always wise to be cautious and respect the local customs and culture. Public transport is reliable here, and there's very little crime, especially against tourists, although it's always recommended to keep an eye on your belongings. Solo female travellers should feel relatively safe, so long as usual travel safety precautions are adhered to, such as not wandering alone at night in less populated areas.

How safe is Cameron Highlands for female travelers?

Group travel

I travelled with my friend, who's also a woman. There was rarely a moment where I felt unsafe, although we made sure to be back by dark. It's a lovely place to go to get away from the hustle, bustle and heat of the country, though there is not as much to do. Would definitely recommend trekking and visiting the tea plantations! Other activities include strawberry picking and visiting various animal/insect farms. Beware about getting ripped off by cab drivers, and invest in your accommodation (read the reviews!!)
