Click here
for the Penang Hills and Trails index. Northern Area Click here to see maps for each of the following reports in turn, clicking the map will take you directly to the report concerned. As of November 2022, there is a charge to access Penang National Park through the main entrance in Teluk Bahang (MYR 10 for Malaysians, MYR 50 for others). Given the state of much of the infrastructure in the park, it's simply outrageous. Readers of these pages with any degree of intelligence will soon work out that as long as you don't want to visit Pantai Kerachut and the Monkey Beach, payment is 'optional'. The aim of these pages is to record our pleasure, encourage others to repeat or even improve the experience and provide sufficient information for locals and visitors to follow the trails from scratch. Hence, there are far too many pictures of junctions in concrete trails! These trails are best enjoyed in small groups of no more than half a dozen with eyes and ears wide open and mouths firmly shut. Several can be, and are, used by mountain bikers, but if you have a motorbike please leave it at home or park it at the start of the trail; definitely do not take it (as I have read on the web) on trails which are not sealed, they will rapidly degrade if abused in such a manner. I strongly recommend using buses to get to the starting points and back
from the end of these walks. |
