going to penang this saturday! well well i've been to penang quite a few years ago, but that time i visit those famous places only, like the kek lok si, bukit bendera, batu feringhi, snake temple.. alll commercial places. so this time wanna go more secret, secluded places
i like nature a lot, so any nature places to recommend?
and west side of penang looks secluded, must be some gem places there?
EDIT: Penang Botanical Gardens Waterfall.. this waterfall seems like one must get permit from perbadanan air penang, anyone gone there? how to apply permit?

QUOTE(Ami Tsun @ Jan 28 2010, 07:51 PM) Basically, the whole area is called Teluk Bahang. You'll need to register at the National Park Office first, then report to the office when you are back. You can collect the brochure (with trails' Map) and ask the staff for info at the office. Entrance to the National Park is FREE, but need to pay 5ringgit for the canopy walk. While you are at the Teluk Bahang fishing vililage, you may want to speak to the locals and get some fishermen's contact number, in case you need to take a boat ride back later (very tiring after Muka Head Light House)... Also, bring lots of drinking water and food! There's no food/drink stall inside the park. Check out this site: http://www.my-island-penang.com/Penang-National-Park.htmlEnjoy your trip! If you still got energy, can try hiking in Penang. Lots of hiking trails... Botanical garden to Penang Hill, Moon Gate to Balik Pulau etc... ok.. but i'm very certain i will never take a boat ride even if rain.. i'm on very tight budget  that should cover 1 whole day of the trip.. planned for the waterfall in botanical garden, but getting permit was too troublesome  |
