Titi Kerawang

Titi Kerawang, Penang (16 October 2004)


The Titi Kerawang Falls is a natural cascade on the northwest side of Penang Island. It offers the people of Penang respite from the hustle and bustle of city living. Only a 40 minute drive from George Town depending on traffic situation of the day, Titi Kerawang allows us to be surrounded by nature. The only reminder of civilisation comes from the water pipes belonging to the Penang Water Authority (PBA).

In actual fact, the Titi Kerawang falls are now much reduced from its former self, since the water utility board start tapping its flow, to meet the increasing demands of Penang's growing population. In addition, vegetable and fruit farms also get their share from this stream. Nevertheless, on particularly wet seasons, you can still expect a gushing torrent from this fall.

To get the photographs that you see on this page, I was bitten silly by mosquitoes for this little adventure! You can see the PBB pipeline on the left side of the photo. I used a slow shutter speed to blur out the water, but other than that, no other form of special effect is employed. The reduced light of the day allows me to use a slow speed with a small aperture.

Getting there by public transport

The best way to reach Titi Kerawang is by your own transport. It is possible to get there by taking the bus (though hailing one down when you are done might be harder). Rapid Penang bus 501 passes along that road rather infrequently.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
