This is one of the must-do activities when in Genting Highlands! You can start your ride from Awana SkyWay at the state-of-the-art cable car.

While you’re here, don’t skip the indoor theme park Skytropolis! Enjoy adrenaline rush rides such as the suspended roller coaster, the drop tower ride or the chill Ferris wheel. The best thing is that the weather doesn’t play any kind of role in this, so come rain or shine, you’ll still have the best time!
