Nightlife in the Cameron Highlands
Going to the Cameron Highlands for nightlife is bit like going to Las Vegas for the peace and quiet. Though not totally deserted most people are coming here for the numerous day time pursuits and enjoy an early night. This mountain destination does offer a few things to do and even has a Starbucks but the traveler should lower their sights if expecting too much in the way of entertainment
As the main towns in Cameron Highlands, Tanah Rata and Brinchang are the liveliest at night with most people heading to either for the evening. There is bus service between the two which costs 1.5 RM or if there are a few of you, you might want to share a cab which is a little more costly at 6RM.
There is only one pub in Tina Rata called The Travelers Bistro and Pub. Nothing in the way of dancing or cabaret but a pleasant place to talk with friends or make new ones as this is a popular venue with fellow travelers. It also shows football matches on the big screens which are popular with the locals too.
Brinchang has a weekend night market which runs throughout the week during the school holidays night selling all manner of clothes souvenirs and groceries the honey is especially good. The market adds to the local color and is safe and pleasant to walk about at night with very little in the way of crime or vice. Apart from restaurants and shopping there are also a few clubs and lounges in the town to hang out after dinner.
