Easily accessible on the road side towards Tanah Rata. Car Park, few shops on the side selling tourist things. Heaving during CNY but was quite quiet after. We had some nice short bread and a cup of tea in the cafe. You can climb down a few steps into the plantation along a fenced route. There seem to be some irritating tourists who can't obey rules and clamber over the rails to get between the tea bushes for photos. We had the masala tea. Enjoyable stop.

As the 3 commenters below have written the trail has officially been closed but can still be climbed:
At the bottom - follow the right hand fork in the road uphill towards the water works. Before reaching the water tanks are some wooden steps on the right with red and white tape at the top. Don't go up these steps but instead bear left down a track which leads to a few scruffy buildings. As you get to the buildings you will see a large red sign written in Malaysian with a small laminated sheet saying 'No entry forest reserve'. Go right past this sign and follow the path along the fence of the water works. There are 2 tracks into the wood the far side of the stream with more big red notices and barbed wire. At the second of these the barbed wire has been ripped down and moved out the way so you can do the trail. Crossing the stream is a little challenging but can be done without getting your feet wet by crossing using the pipe and damaged fence.
Once past the barbed wire the track is excellent and easy to follow.
At the top, after skirting round the towers there is a black gate that you have to climb to get out. This is not challenging at all.
As described below it is worth arranging transport to meet you at the top to save the long walk down, there are no taxis there.

A hidden gem on the way back from the BOH Tea Plantation
The temple is spotlessly clean and the golden statues very impressive
We were fortunate enough to visit in glorious Sunshine which added to the experience
There were no other visitors whilst we were there and the place exuded peace and tranquility
There is no charge for visiting, but there are various collection boxes for donations, which we were happy to make
An excellent end to our half day Countryside Tour

*) Did it as a part of Eco Cameron Travel & Tours - Full Day Experience Tour.
*) A dead end road - that has telephone towers and a old rusted watch/observatory tower to take a view of the highlands. There is no view as such but just tress all over. Gets crowded also, as the watch tower has steep steps and can accommodate 5-6 people at a time

Love the place especially their herbs garden. The rosemary is taller than me! They are selling fat succulents there at RM2.12 / pot. Many other plants are on sale too. With a RM5 / Adult entrance ticket, this is a garderner's paradise.
8. Cameron Highlands Trail No. 10

We did this track starting at H2O apartment end. Nice track that is reasonably formed, good shoes are recommended as can be slippery in places. Good view when you get to the pylon towards Tanah Rata and then if you look up there is another trail to the top viewing area. We read that it's best to go back the way you came, but as we had time we carried on down the ridge to the sub station and then back to town, approx 10km from start to finish. We enjoyed the walk back. If you decide to start from the sub station end the track is along the fence on the right as you come down the road. Our photo shows the pylon you get to, this was taken from the sub station.

Need permit and guide to climb the mountain.
Track wasn’t that difficult. Easy to intermediate level, but the weather can change it all. Was raining the whole day when I was there. The temperature was nearly unbearable. Everything was wet and muddy. Be careful with your steps.
But boy the view was definitely worth the time.
It’s like you are in a whole different place.
Definitely a must try if you are in cameron highland. Better this than that stupid strawberry farm that don’t even taste good.
10. Cameron Highlands Trail No. 3

The starting point of trail 3 (near the golf course, and acadia) is hard to find. There just isn't clear signages leading to the start!
Be prepared for clambering up and down the slopes in Trail 3!
But you'll be rewarded by your hardwork by the springing sensations on the carpet forest floor! Look out for interesting fungi along the way!
After I did Trails 3 and 5 in about 2 hours, I yearned to complete the rest of the 14 trails of this amazing mossy forest!
