Cameron Highlands consists of 3 districts: Brinchang, Tanah Rata and Ringlet, each with a small town centre.
It's a good idea to stop by one of these towns on your first day to stock up on essentials (e.g. mineral water - we bought a 9-litre bottle ;))
Among these towns, Tanah Rata is the largest, so if you're short on time, you're better off just visiting Tanah Rata.
These towns are quite far apart, but fortunately our hotel (Equatorial) provides 2-hourly shuttle-bus services to Brinchang --> Tanah Rata.
Brinchang
(Again, don't think this map was drawn to scale!!)
Brinchang is a very small town that could be walked from one end to the other in 15 min.
This traditional town provides only the bare essentials and offers very little that would interest tourists. On Friday and Saturday nights, however, the town would host a large pasar malam (night market).
Tanah Rata
Tanah Rata, the largest town in Cameron Highlands, is slightly more interesting (and seems to us, better organised) than Brinchang.
Even then, "largest" is relative, and it could be walked from one end to the other end in 30 min.
The town mainly centres around its main stretch of road with shophouses on both sides.

Ringlet
We didn't managed to visit Ringlet (mainly cos our hotel did not provide any shuttle bus service to here).
But from the map, it seemed to be a very small town (bottom left on the map).
