More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The cable car lifts you out of the lowland heat and into a thinning cloud—windows frame a spread of rainforest and, on clear days, the Kuala Lumpur skyline pushing at the horizon. From the SkyAvenue station the resort’s neon facades and mountain theatres sit like a compact amusement district; an hour earlier the limestone face of Batu Caves rose from the roadside, guarded by a towering deity and a riot of monkeys.
