Escape the Malaysian heat and ascend to the cool highlands – the thrilling journey begins with the Awana SkyWay! As of 2026, it's the fastest and most scenic route to Genting Highlands from Kuala Lumpur. More than just a ride, it's a unique experience soaring above a 130-million-year-old rainforest.
An Overwhelming Green World from Above

As you step into the Awana SkyWay, prepare for breathtaking views. During the approximately 10-minute ride to 1,800m above sea level, you'll witness a unique landscape where the lush greenery of the rainforest meets the skyscrapers of Genting Highlands.
Many travelers find the 'Crystal Cabin,' with its transparent floor, to be the best choice. The thrilling sensation of seeing steep cliffs and lush treetops directly beneath your feet is unique to this experience. As you ascend through the clouds and feel the temperature gradually drop, you'll realize you've arrived in a highland paradise.
Tranquility at the Mid-Point: Chin Swee Caves Temple

One of the Awana SkyWay's clever features is the option to hop on and off at the midway point, Chin Swee Station. Take a break to explore the magnificent 9-story pagoda and the enormous Buddha statue at the Chin Swee Caves Temple without any extra charge.
The serene atmosphere of the temple, built on a steep hillside, and the views of the mountains below offer a different kind of inspiration than those from the cable car. After finding a moment of peace, continue your journey to the vibrant world of SkyAvenue, your final destination.
Less Waiting, More Excitement

Weekends and holidays are always busy on the way to Genting Highlands, but the Awana SkyWay maintains a comfortable experience with its modern system that transports thousands of people per hour.
At the summit, where you're greeted by the cool highland breeze, you'll find the SkyAvenue shopping mall and Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park waiting for you. The Awana SkyWay, where even the journey becomes an activity, will fill your Genting trip with a perfect narrative from start to finish. Booking through platforms like WAUG can make the process smoother.
