Situated 1,500 meters above sea level, Cameron Highlands, Malaysia’s largest and famous highland resort. It is surrounded by lush untouched greenery with a climate reminiscent of a cool spring day, is the perfect place to recharge your batteries and gain sweet relief from the pressures of the city.

 

Seeing a butterfly in the open is a rare sight these days. Get a change to see many different species of butterflies which used to be a common sight in the highlands many years ago. A walk through an enclosed area where each species of butterfly is happily floating around in a lush, plant-filled garden is the highlight. There are two butterfly farms in Cameron Highlands and the are both located around the Kea Farm area.

 

Visiting a place with so many beautiful butterflies was a real surprise and pleasure to look at. I have captured many photos of butterflies on the flowers, but then I thought it would not give it a right scale. Human hand seemed as a perfect way to show how large these butterflies are.
