THE MOTHER OF RESORTS WORLD
It was our last week in Malaysia and and I heard from a lot of my malay friends the fun and beauty of Genting Highlands, hence they recommends to visit it. Genting Highlands is an integrated resort with full range of hotels, casino, themepark, cable car ride, golf, convention center and shopping mall located at the boundary of Pahang and Selangor, Malaysia. I asked one of taxi driver in Shah Alam City if how much he charge two way to Genting and its about 360 RM or convert to PhP its around 5,000. Its seems to be expensive for only two of us to take a taxi so the only option is to take a usual bus ride from KL, short cut of Kuala Lumpur. I search the internet and found the Genting Express bus is serving from various pick-up points around Kuala Lumpur and its sub-urbs. Im only 25 km away from KL Sentral and one day is enough already to visit Genting and go back to Shah Alam at night.

The Genting Express Bus leaves KL Sentral every 30 minutes and this will go directly to Skyway cable car system the jump-off poin to Genting Highlands.
So we pack our things the night before and take a good sleep because we will depart in the morning from Shah Alam Concorde Hotel going to KL Sentral.
From Shah Alam Concorde Hotel we took the Taxi going to Shah Alam KTM train station. A 15 minute ride that cost around RM 25.
After arriving at KL sentral at around 10 AM, we right away buy our ticket going to Genting Highlands. We paid RM 14.6 each two way, which is very reasonable considering the Genting Highlands is around 35 km from KL Sentral. This already includes the Skyway cable ride going up to Genting highlands. We took our breakfast at one of the coffee shop in KL Sentral and at 1230 PM our bus left KL sentral.
