Genting Highlands


Genting Highlands
Genting Highlands is an integrated resort development comprising hotels, 
casinos and a theme park in Pahang, perched on the peak of Gunung Ulu 
Kali at 1,800 meters high. Nestled near the border of Selangor within an 
hour's drive from Kuala Lumpur (about 35km), Genting Resort presents a 
popular weekend getaway from the city heat, conveniently connected by 
Karak Highway and major trunk roads, along with a cable car service from 
the satellite town of Gohtong Jaya.On a clear day, the peak overlooks lush 
valleys of rainforest stretching towards KL, a breathtaking view for visitors 
as they enjoy the cooling weather and serene mountain environment. 
Since 1971, Genting Highlands has remained the only legal gambling 
outfit in Malaysia - its very own mini Las Vegas on a mountain top.


While the casinos are central to Genting Highlands, a theme park provides 
fun rides and activities for adults and children alike, while First World Plaza 
is a colourful leisure complex with restaurants, indoor entertainment and 
boutique outlets. On the peak, First World Hotel - the largest hotel in Asia 
with over 6,000 budget rooms - provides much of the budget accommodations 
along with family-oriented Theme Park Hotel. Genting Grand (formerly Genting 
Hotel) and Maxims (formerly Highlands Hotel) are classy five star establishments 
while Resort Hotel bridges the gap between budget and luxury accommodation 
for visitors.

Genting Highlands has a cooling climate between 20°C to 26°C during the day 

 and 15°C to 20°C during the night. Misty weather is a prevalent element and 
 thunder storms are frequent towards the year end. However, you can visit 
 Genting Highlands anytime, as the roads up are made of sturdy construction 
 that resist most landslides.If you prefer a dry holiday, the best time to come 
here would lie between March and September when the rainfall is generally 
least. Be sure to wear some thick clothing at night if you're susceptible to cold. 
The mist around the peak can obscure panoramic views of Kuala Lumpur city 
and the landscape below, so the best time for a view is usually the early morning 
or late evenings.

Getting There
Most travellers will start their journey from Kuala Lumpur (KL), the nearest city 
which is linked by a highway and two major trunk roads. Visitors from Singapore 
will first travel to Kuala Lumpur (4 hours) via the North-South Highway. 
From Kuala Lumpur, the most popular route is the Karak Highway which is accessed 
from the end of the MRR2 Freeway in Ampang/Gombak. Drive time takes about an 
hour, with a distance covering approximately 35 km to the peak. The seemingly 
slow drive is due to the windy and steep mountain road that starts from the 
base of Genting Highlands.

Buses travel to Genting Highlands daily from various destinations around 

Kuala Lumpur, either directly to the resort or ending at Genting Skyway  (cable 
car station). Departures continue through the day and night at ticket prices 
between MYR5-12, depending on location from KL. While there are special 
routes from major shopping malls and urban residential areas, catering mostly 
for gamblers, the major bus routes begin from KL Sentral, Pudu Sentral (Puduraya) 
and Terminal Putra LRT Gombak. There are also express buses from Singapore 
and other states across Malaysia.
