Besides farms and nurseries, Cameron Highlands also consist of other three main towns and a few beautiful villages. And the most interesting towns to visit would be the main towns called Tanah Rata and Brinchang. If you are driving up from Tapah way, after 45km distance(55 minutes drive), you will arrive at Ringlet. Later on, further up to 13 km, you will reach the main town of Tanah Rata and going on further up about 3 km, you will reach the town of Brinchang.

The Ringlet town is more of a trading area for commercial activities, usually bypassed by most visitors, and it's the first town in Cameron Highlands. Furthermore, the route between Ringlet to Tanah Rata, you will find the charming country house named Lakehouse Cameron Highland Hotel, sitting on top of a hill, an overlooking lake available as well. Opposite the hotel, there's a short row of market stalls, where vegetables, flowers and souvenirs are sold.

Other than Ringlet town, there's Tanah Rata where most of the visitors might stay, it's situated along with many shops, eateries, banks, and government buildings, it's also considered the hub of Cameron Highlands . In Brinchang, it's more crowded, and searching for a parking lot on a peak period seems as an issue here. It is used to be a night market at the central parking lot. However, it has now shifted to a new location at the street between Cactus Valley and Star Regency Hotel Apartments. Furthermore, Trinkap and Kampung Raja is one of the residential areas for the local residents, visitors will definitely pass by these two towns if visitors are using the Simpang Pulai highway.
