This is the playground of Malaysia and it can be said that no visit to Malaysia is complete without a trip to the Genting Highlands Resort. There is something for everybody here and there is no reason not to visit. A mere 45 minutes from Kuala Lumpur, transport is readily available thru GTA or the hotels. The Genting Hotel is the best hotel on the hill and is of a very high standard (the Highland Hotel is reserved for casino members only). The cool hill environment is a quick getaway from the heat and humidity of the city.
