The coach hums out of Kuala Lumpur before dawn and the city’s glass and concrete fall away, replaced by a green, steep spine climbing toward mist. On this full-day circuit you trade the city’s heat for cool mountain air; the Awana Skyway cable car lifts you over forested ridges and clouds that seem to push you onward to a resort perched on a plateau.

Wildlife
History
Genting Highlands was developed in the 1960s by Lim Goh Tong as a cool-resort destination; Batu Caves has served as a Hindu worship site for over a century and sits in ancient limestone karst formations.
Conservation
Visitors should avoid feeding wildlife and dispose of waste properly; highland forests are sensitive to erosion and development, so stay on designated paths.
Reserve your spot on the Full-day Genting Highland Tour Enroute Batu Caves today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Dress respectfully for Batu Caves
Wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees when visiting the temple inside Batu Caves; carry a light wrap for quick coverage.
Beat the cable car queues
Book early departures or arrive at Awana station before mid-morning to reduce wait times for the Skyway cable car.
Keep a small amount of cash
Some stalls, offerings, and smaller vendors in Gohtong Jaya or SkyAvenue prefer cash—bring small notes and coins.
Don’t feed the monkeys
Long-tailed macaques at Batu Caves are bold; avoid feeding or approaching them to reduce bites and lost items.
Light waterproof jacket
Mountain weather changes quickly; a light rain shell keeps you comfortable on the Skyway and at viewpoints.
Sturdy walking shoes
Good grip and ankle support help on the 272 steps at Batu Caves and wet surfaces around the highland plateau.
Cash and small change
Useful for temple donations, small food stalls, and markets where cards may not be accepted.
Reusable water bottle
Stay hydrated during walking and stair climbs; refill at cafes or hotel pickup/drop-off points.
