Coolest places in Malaysia
It is much cooler in Cameron Highlands
You can find the coolest places in Malaysia in the so called 'Highlands'. These highlands lie higher than the rest of the country, and because of this temperatures usually are noticeable lower. Examples of popular highlands are Cameron Highlands, Fraser Hill, Genting Highlands and the area near Gungung Ledang. Locals often retreat to these highlands to escape to hot and humid climate in the major cities. Residents of Kuala Lumpur usually retreat to Genting Highlands and Fraser Hill. People from Georgetown (capital city of Penang) usually head off to the Cameron Highlands. Another great place for some cooler weather is in the vicinity of Mount Kinabalu on Sabah grounds. The higher you get, the cooler it is. On the top of Mount Kinabalu it was 4 degrees at 8.00 in the morning, probably the coolest place in the country, except for the air conditioned shopping malls.
