Genting Highlands Tourism

Genting Highlands is a hill station in Pahang, an hour's drive from Kuala Lumpur, built around Malaysia's only legal casino resort. Dubbed the "City of Entertainment," it draws a different crowd than Cameron Highlands' tea estates nearby: theme parks, nightlife, and casino resorts rather than nature walks.

Resting on the peak of Gunung Ulu Kali, Genting Highlands incorporates the First World Hotel which was listed in the Guinness World Book of Records for being the largest hotel in 2006. The only place in Malaysia that offers legal gambling, Genting also has cave temples, amusement parks and water park. Awana SkyWay and Genting SkyWay are the two accessible cable car services for reaching Genting Highlands.

The mesmerising hill town is full of attractions namely Awana Horse Ranch, Butterfly Wonderland, Genting Strawberry Leisure Farm, Happy Bee Farm, Kuala Gandah Elephant Conservation Centre, Lim Goh Tong Memorial Hall and Mohamed Noah Foundation Mosque. Genting Highlands is apt for people who are looking forward to a lot of exuberance in the pleasant mountain weather overlooking some awe-inspiring views of the valley from its height of 1800 metres above the sea level.
