A Breezy Day Trip to Genting Highlands

Genting Highlands offers the perfect mix of cool mountain air, scenic views, retail therapy, and cozy cafés—all just 1.5 hours from Kuala Lumpur. You can drive straight to the top, but we recommend making a stop at Genting Highlands Premium Outlets. Nestled midway up the hill, this open-air shopping haven is packed with designer brands at outlet prices. From there, hop on the Awana SkyWay cable car, where the ride alone is an experience—glide above lush rainforest canopies with panoramic views that get better with every minute. Once you reach the summit, the temperature drops and the charm rises. We wandered through misty walkways, indulged in a comforting pasta lunch, and warmed our hands around a cup of rich hot chocolate from a mountain café. The crisp breeze, the laid-back vibes, and the scenic beauty made it feel like a world away from the city—even if just for a few hours. Whether you’re up for casino fun, theme park thrills, or just a peaceful break, Genting Highlands delivers. It’s the perfect weekend getaway or even a day trip when you need to hit pause. #cherryblossom25 #gentingtrip #malaysiatrip #pahang
