GETTING IN
By plane
Genting Skyway on a misty dayThe nearest airport is in Kuala Lumpur. Skybus used to run direct buses, but seems to have stopped; the fastest way is thus to KL Sentral by train (28 min) and then connecting to the bus from there. Alternatively, if you're feeling flush after hitting a jackpot in the casino, Sabah Air (tel. +60-3-62578604) will be happy to charter a helicopter for you (30 min).
By bus
There are frequent buses from various points in Kuala Lumpur, including the Puduraya bus terminal (every 30 min) and KL Sentral train station (hourly). Booking in advance is advisable as services can sell out, especially on weekends.
All buses take around one hour and cost RM8.30-8.50 one way, with most terminating at the Skyway cable car station, from where it's an 11-minute ride up to Genting (included in bus ticket price). Buses departing after 8 PM head directly to the resort.
Transtar also operates one daily bus direct from Singapore (S$68/57 one-way from/to Singapore).
By car
Genting Highlands is 40 minutes from Kuala Lumpur on the Karak Highway.
GETTING ARROUND
All hotels in Genting (except Awana) are connected by sheltered walkways and escalators, so you never actually need to go outside. The entire complex is, theoretically, wheelchair accessible.
