Orang Asli means ‘Original People’ in Malay and refers to the various indigenous groups that live in the Cameron Highlands.

To that end, you will find a number of traditional Orang Asli villages dotted around the area and many of them are located on the main road that leads up to Tanah Rata, the central town in the Cameron Highlands.

There are also a number of villages that are still found in the middle of the jungles here, so if you want to really see a traditional working village then you can take a tour with a guide who will take you out into the more remote areas.
