About this experience

When Kuala Lumpur feels a bit overwhelming, and some fun high up in the mountainous regions of the Malaysian Peninsula sounds just like your cup of tea, Genting is a solution that hardly disappoints. A destination for young and old, families or couples, the entitlement of Resort World suits the name from all wind directions. Amidst the mountains and constructed 1800 meters / 6000 feet above sea level, trading the fumes of KL traffic for a lung full of fresh mountain air should already be an invitation for a visit. It is particularly the location and the wealth of activities, family-filled fun moments and a plethora of restaurants and cafes to satisfy your inner self. Mind you, the cool mountain air will boost your appetite as well as exploring new horizons at this level in Malaysia.

Detailed itinerary

Your Eng speaking assistance welcomes you at your booked Kuala Lumpur accommodation, setting the tone for a day of fun-filled activities in the mountains. The comfortable drive moves in an eastern direction out of the city and towards Genting. Cleaning the air and the greener side of Malaysia slowly enters the guests’ retinas and nostrils as we arrive at the cable cart station for an exhilarating ride up to Malaysia’s only casino resort. The 10-minute ride skims over the lush green surrounding of mountain vegetation and with almost 360-degree views over the Malaysian Peninsula, a better start of your day is hardly possible. On a side note, the Genting SkyWay is the longest and fastest in South-East Asia. Upon arrival at the hilltop station, a new world of entertainment and activity awaits!

Fringed by one of the oldest tropical jungles in the world, you can try your luck at Blackjack, Keno, Roulette or a host of other casino games (age limits apply). If tempting lady luck is not your cup of tea, then take time off to enjoy the numerous recreational facilities available here. Whichever one you choose, you will find more than just tingling freshness. There are enough opportunities to fill the day, and before you know it, the day has come to an end. You return to the base station by the Genting SkyWay cable cart where you will meet your guide cum driver for the 45-minute drive back to the Malaysian capital. Depending on traffic conditions, you will be back at your hotel at around 5 pm.
