Genting Highlands & Batu Caves Day Trip — 2-Way Cable Car Included
Spend a day moving between mountain cool and sacred caverns: a Skyway cable car to Genting’s highland resort and a climb up the painted steps of Batu Caves. This guided transfer-style tour pairs panoramic rides, cultural stops, and free time at the themepark and casino.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear sturdy shoes
Expect stairs at Batu Caves (272 steps) and long indoor/outdoor walking around the resort—closed-toe shoes with grip help.
Bring water and snacks
Hydrate before the climb and carry a refillable bottle; snacks are handy between stops and for kids.
Carry a light rain jacket
Highland weather can change quickly; a compact shell keeps you comfortable during sudden showers.

Shoulders and knees should be covered at religious sites; avoid feeding or touching monkeys.
