Day Trip To Genting Highland, Malaysia
15 September 2018
"To live would be an awfully big Adventure"
- Peter Pan
Whenever I heard of adventure I remember my days in Malaysia, and particularly the day tour to Genting Highlands. A day full of adventure, fun and of course Cable Car... Yeaaa!!!!
Situated on the peak of Mount Ulu Kali, Malaysia. It is approx 1-hour car drive from Kuala Lampur and accessible by cable cars.
Genting basically a planned hill resort that combines many hotels, snow park, theme park, and gaming zones.
It is situated in a hilltop the climate is very pleasant. The day we went there it was raining and we are literally into the clouds.
"If you want to relax, watch the clouds pass by if you're laying on the grass, or sit in front of the creek; just doing nothing and having those still moments is what really rejuvenates the body."
- Miranda Kerr
The greenery, the view from the top, nature gives a positive and refreshing feeling and a chance to get away from the crowded city of KL.
How to Reach :
Genting is approx 56 km from KL Central.
There are many bus services from 1 Utama and from KL Central.
Also, you can rent a cab or car to reach there. It takes approx 1 hr if traffic is good. The road trip is amazing.
We know that very well cause, we had our "5 mint toh lagta hai, khana khake chalte hai"
(It won't take more 5 mints to eat, will leave after) moment and we missed our bus and we took the cab then.
After reaching to the bottom of the hill, Its the Cable Car time!!!!!!!
Genting Skyway and Awana Skyway. Genting Skyway is South East Asia's longest cable car ride and it provides an ultimate view of nature.
Things to Explore:
Chin Swee Caves Temple
It is a Taoist ( religious tradition of Chinese) Temple with an amazing panoramic view of the whole area. The temple was build nearly in 1975 after Genting Resort is uild.
Chinese mythological stories are told via many statues. Descriptions of individual Laughing Buddha explained very beautifully.
You can find a very peaceful nature walk there. One pure bliss going there. Another attraction is the Giant Buddha Statue.
