    Ringlet is one of the three sub-districts (Mukim) of the Cameron Highlands and is located in the south of the highlands on the mountain road from Tapah. From here, Road 102 leads through the Bertam Valley towards Sungai Koyan near Kuala Lipis.The Ringlet Reservoir is located in the town, dammed by the Sultan Abu Bakar Dam for the highland's hydroelectric power plants. Ringlet is more of a supply hub for the surrounding farms than a tourist destination, with most travelers continuing on to Tanah Rata.

    The Cameron Highlands are a mountain district in the northwest of the state of Pahang, about five hours by bus north of Kuala Lumpur. Coming from the tropical heat, visitors find a cool climate here between roughly 800 and 1,600 meters above sea level, along with tea plantations on steep slopes, vegetable fields, strawberry farms, and mountain forest.The towns line up along a winding mountain road: Ringlet in the south, then Tanah Rata with most accommodations, Brinchang, and the Kea Farm market. Plan at least two nights and bring a jacket; it gets cool at night.
