Bentong, Administrative district in Pahang, Malaysia
The district of Bentong spans 1,831 square kilometers across western Pahang, encompassing the mountain resorts of Genting Highlands and Bukit Tinggi.
Bentong emerged as an independent district in 1919 when it separated from Raub District due to administrative needs and territorial expansion.
The morning market attracts hundreds of visitors who gather to purchase local specialties including Bentong ginger, fresh produce, and traditional Malaysian foods.
Visitors can reach Bentong within one hour from Kuala Lumpur via the Karak Highway, with numerous accommodations available near the town center.
The district contains Malaysia's largest copper wire manufacturing facility while maintaining extensive durian orchards that produce the premium Musang King variety.
