As a travel writer, I write about travel guides, seasonal travels, nature escapades, history & culture, and handy tips to make your travel a lot more comfortable and familiar. And what better way to help share these travel stories than through words, sprinkled with snippets of my own travel experiences. Somewhere between catching a surreal sunrise from the flight window to being mesmerised by a million twinkling stars in an inky black sky, I discovered the transformative power of travel. In 2021, a solo trip to Leh helped me discover a purpose to my travels - being one with nature. When not this, books were my haven and through them, I travelled to places far, wide, and beyond. Having grown up in the urban city of Bengaluru, my travels were limited to weekend getaways to nearby temple towns with the promise of a good drive and a sumptuous meal.

By taxi: Taxis are regularly available from major cities (like Kuala Lumpur and Singapore) to Genting Highlands.

By train: The nearest train station is the Gohtong Jaya Station, from where you can take a taxi or shuttle service to the resort.

Rides occur daily from 7AM - 12 AM from Awana Skycentral Complex.

By cable car: The Genting cable car is an aerial gondola lift system that takes visitors to the summit in 10 minutes (depending on the weather) and each gondola can accommodate 10 passengers.

There is ample parking available at the destination.

The seemingly slow drive is due to the windy and steep mountain road that starts from the base of Genting Highlands. By car: Drive takes about an hour from the base to the peak, covering a distance of 35 km.

Genting Express is the official bus service to Awana Sk圜entral, dropping you off either directly to Mushroom Farm Terminal (summit) or Awana Sk圜entral (Gohtong Jaya). By bus: Regular bus services are available from Kuala Lumpur at ticket prices between MYR 5-12, depending on the boarding location.
