2. Guided Hiking Trails by Awana Hotel Resorts World Genting ??

Just this year, Awana Hotel Resorts World Genting has launched a new tour that consists of a guided hiking trip for guests! How cool is that? Currently two hiking trails exists, the Awana Trail and the Clearwater Way trail.

If you enjoy nature and are an avid trekker, you’re sure to appreciate these trails. The trails are about 2800 feet above sea level but are still pretty reasonable with no age limit.

Your tour guide will be ready to point out a variety of monkeys, tropical birds, and other animals unique to the area. The Awana trail, is available every day at 9am and 3pm for RM20 per pax (free for kids under six years old).

3. Kuala Gandah National Elephant Conservation Centre ?

This might be a bit of a drive off Genting Highlands but we highly suggest you make a stop here before driving up, especially if you like elephants or have young children.

Unlike the overtly touristy spots like Genting’s bee or strawberry farm, we think this elephant conservation centre is worth your visit.
