The bus ticket price for Kuala Lumpur to Genting Highlands ranges from MYR 10 to MYR 20.
2. Car Rental
If you prefer a scenic route and want to travel at your own pace, renting a car is a great option. The drive from KL to Genting Highlands takes about 1.5 hours with stunning views of the mountains. Tip: Be aware of potential toll charges along the way.
