Genting
Highlands

| Most of us would associate
Genting Highlands, some 50 min ride from KL with theme parks and casino.
GH is some 6000ft above sea level. Naturally, weather wise is very cool.
I normally would casually ride up to GH on Sunday mornings for breakfast
at Awana (that's 1/2 way up) and then hot coffee at the outdoor cafe at
the peak with my bike parked next to table.
There are plenty of things to explore other than the commercial stuffs. I would normally take the route from KL to Hulu Yam and from Hulu Yam to Gohtong Jaya / Awana. It is longer but the back road crosses kampungs, scenic lake and best of all less traffic. Would post more pics next time around.
Lake/Dam before Hulu Yam
Usually Traffic Free. Heaven for biking

Buddha Statue at the Chinese Temple between Awana and Genting Highlands
Pagoda at temple with evening sun streaking through. The Temple was built by Genting Highlands' owner and founder
The Temple. Chinese are superstitious lot. Some would seek prayers at temple before proceeding to the casino. The hardcore gamblers would try to avoid it
