Genting Strawberry Leisure Farms is a trendy destination for a day trip from Kuala Lumpur. Most day-trippers to Genting Highlands stop over at the farms for an hour before catching Awana Skyway Cable Car  to Awana Resorts. The Strawberry and Lavender Gardens offer a pleasant retreat from the concrete jungle of Kuala Lumpur. The children can enjoy strawberry picks and learn about amazing plants and flowers grown in the region. 

Bentong is a popular tourist spot in Pahang known for its good food and night markets. I had in the past visited Tropicale Colmar in Berjaya Hills and Genting Highlands but somehow never ventured further along Highway E8 leading to Kuantan.

Bukit Tinggi is a tourist location in the hills of Pahang. The area is situated very close to Genting Highlands in Berjaya Hills, one of the most visited tourist attractions in Malaysia. With the higher altitude and cooler temperatures, Berjaya Hills is home to several luxury resorts and retreats. The sweltering heat and humidity in Kuala Lumpur drive throngs of people to escape to these amazing hilly retreats. 

Genting Highlands Pahang Malaysia is one of the premier tourist destinations in Malaysia, attracting millions of visitors from across the world and Malaysia. Genting is easily accessible from Kuala Lumpur and is a popular destination for a day trip or a weekend break for the entire family. Its 80 km uphill climb makes it popular for bike riders and sports car owners who speed up the winding road to the casinos.  

Bukit Tinggi and Japanese Garden are must-visit destinations if you are planning to visit Genting Highlands from Kuala Lumpur. All of these locations can be covered in a day trip if you leave early in the morning. Most tour operators for a day trip start from 8 am from Kuala Lumpur City and that gives enough time to travel and enjoy various locations in Genting Highlands.
