KL to Genting Highlands
Kuala Lumpur to Genting Highlands
Genting Highlands sits 1,800 metres above sea level at the top of the Titiwangsa mountain range. The drive from KL takes about an hour — 45 minutes on the Karak Highway and another 15 minutes winding up the mountain road.
Our drivers make this trip regularly and know the road inside out. They know which lane to take before the Genting Sempah tunnel, where the fog patches form on rainy afternoons, and how to navigate the resort area drop-off zones without circling for 20 minutes.

Genting Premium Outlets
Halfway up the mountain, this outlet mall has Coach, Nike, Adidas, and more at discounted prices. A popular stop on the way up or down.
Chin Swee Caves Temple
A Buddhist temple complex perched on a rocky outcrop with mountain views. Peaceful, photogenic, and a 10-minute detour from the main road.

Leave Before 9am
The Karak Highway gets busy on weekends and public holidays. Leaving KL before 9am means a smooth, traffic-free drive.

It is noticeably cooler at the top — around 18-22°C. The aircon in the resort can feel cold if you are dressed for KL weather.
Day Trip or Overnight
For a day trip, your driver waits at the resort while you explore and drives you back when you are ready. For overnight, we arrange a separate return pickup.
