GETTING TO GENTING HIGHLANDS
Genting Highlands is accessible via a good range of transport options, such as self-drive, limousine and express buses. For those who enjoy driving, Genting Highlands is situated 51km northeast of Kuala Lumpur. It is accessible via the new scenic 6-lane Karak Highway or the Batang Kali road up north. At the foothills of Genting Highlands lies the small township of Gohtong Jaya where visitors can indulge in a quick meal or shop for supplies and groceries before heading up the hill. The more popular option to get to Resorts World Genting is the express coach from KL Sentral Station, the city’s main transportation hub. Resorts World Tours (RWT) Express Buses are also available from other locations in Kuala Lumpur, i.e. One Utama Shopping Mall, Gombak and Pudu Sentral. The new bus terminal at the Awana SkyWay building is modelled after a modern day airport and provides ample facilities for dining and shopping.
AWANA SKYWAY GONDOLA RIDE
One of the highlights in Genting Highlands is the safe, comfortable and exciting gondola ride called Awana SkyWay. The 2.8km ride takes only 10 minutes, ascending from Awana Station to the final stop, SkyAvenue Station. In between, visitors can get down at Chin Swee Station to explore the Chin Swee Cave Temple. The French-made cable cars stand at 2.1m high, and are able to carry 3,000 passengers one-way every hour. The gondolas fly over the main attractions at the resort, giving visitors a bird’s eye view of the entire landscape. There are standard gondolas and glass-floor gondolas that provide an unbelievable experience. Awana SkyWay operates seven days a week from 7:00am until midnight.
Tips
If you are driving, do not overload your vehicle on the way up the hill, as the roads are rather steep. Ensure your car brakes are functioning well for the trip to Genting. Above all, drive carefully as there are many precarious bends and heavy traffic during public holidays. During poor visibility or misty conditions, it is advisable to avoid driving up to the resort.
