Hiking in Penang

Hiking in Penang (6 March 2004)


Hiking in Penang is a popular fitness activity in Penang, as can be seen in the many hiking places around the island. As the island has a hilly core, most of the hiking activities include some degree of hill climbing.

The most popular hiking spots in Penang are the Penang Botanic Gardens, the Youth Park and Bukit Jambul. To a gentler degree, Bukit Dumbar is also a popular spot of exercising.

In addition to the aforemention places, there are groups who go hill climbing and jungle trekking. The places includes the northern, northwestern, central and southwestern parts of Penang Island. There are jungle trails through the forest, offering opening to panoramic vistas.

If you are unfamiliar with the terrain, you should go with a group led by someone who has the experience. Otherwise, you will join the many people who have gotten lost in the jungle and have to be rescued.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
