You step out of the vehicle into a cooling, mist-slimmed ridge where clouds thread between pines and the mountain seems to breathe around you. The Awana Skyway lifts you across a swath of forest; gondolas glide like slow-moving birds, giving you a cinematic view of Gunung Ulu Kali’s slopes and patchwork villages below.

Genting Highlands was developed in the 1960s by entrepreneur Lim Goh Tong as a cool hill resort and has since combined entertainment, retail, and religious sites atop Mount Ulu Kali.
Conservation
The highland environment is sensitive—stay on designated paths, avoid littering, and don’t feed wildlife to reduce human‑animal conflicts.
