Cable Car Joy RideOriginally uploaded by arellevalla.com.

The Skyway in Genting Highlands (The City of Entertainment), Malaysia is the Worlds longest Cable Car Ride. We didn’t exactly know what to expect on this ride which turned out to be a pleasure.

It starts from the foot of the mountain going up the Highlands, midway, you will already see the Kuala Lumpur city from afar and the Centuries Old Forest of Malaysia right beneath you, and nearly on top you are greeted by a cool climate, and a fog that ushers you into a lively indoor and outdoor Themeparks, Casino, Shopping Destinations and Fine Hotels.

To go to Genting Highlands from KLCC (Kuala Lumpur City Centre), you can take a taxi to Puduraya where the bus terminal is to the Skyway, or Take Bus 105 outside Suria Mall (near Petronas Tower) and get off at Pasar Seni (Bus Fare is RM 2.50/Php37.50), and walk 2 blocks to Puduraya. Purchase your bus and cable car ticket (RM8.50/P140),and board the bus early, because it leaves on time, travel time to the Skyway (Cable Car Terminal) is about 1 hour then the Cable Car ride is approximately 15 minutes to the Peak.

If you are not checking in at a Hotel in Genting and going back down on the same day only for a day trip, make sure to purchase your bus ticket for your return before boarding the Cable Car, because the last Bus trip back to KL is at 8:30PM (Sharp!), ticket goes with a seat number! Vehicles can go up the highlands too, taxis are available to bring you there if you have an issue with heights hehe…

Genting highlands and the Cable Car ride awaits you!
