Greetings!

If you are planning on traveling or backpacking to Malaysia, you should put Genting Highlands on the list of places you should visit. Genting Highlands is located in Bentong, Pahang. And it is uphill, not only it gives you the relaxation that you need, but it gives you the breath taking view of the nature as well. What im sharing today is something that i experience it myself.

How to get there?

There are few options to go with, from renting a car to taking the bus. I took the bus to go there. By taking the bus you only have to pay, RM4.30 which you can take the bus from KL Sentral. Which is way cheaper than ranting a car or taking a taxi.

Where to stay?

There are 6 Hotels that are available in Genting. Which is Genting Grand Hotel, Maxims Hotel, Crockfords Hotel, Resort Hotel, Theme Park Hotel, and First World Hotel. In my case, I stayed in First World Hotel. It only cost less than RM 80.00. What i did was, booking my hotel from Trivago. Trivago.png

On the side note: First World Hotel is the largest Hotel in the world. It serves you with such a futuristic look. And when you're visiting Genting, it is refreshing as it makes you appreciate the nature more and it is quite relaxing.
