Penang Hill in Penang Island, Malaysia

Climb to the Penang hilltop for a refreshing experience

About Penang Hill in Penang Island

Snuggled about 6 km away from GeorgeTown, the lush and forested area of Penang Hill is the most significant hill resort in Peninsular Malaysia.

Perched atop the capital of Penang at a height of about 821 meter, it comprises Tiger Hill, Western Hill, Government Hill, Flagstaff Hill, and Bukit Laksamana, it is also called as Bukit Bendera by islanders. Being the last patch of tropical forest in the region of Penang, its flora and fauna are being under utmost protection since 1960. Head towards this lush hilltop, which is one of the most sought-after attractions in the region, and delve into its fresh environs for a rejuvenating experience.

History of Penang Hill

Dating back to the era post British settlement, Penang Hill, Malaysia was discovered when the area was commissioned to be cleared by Francis Light in order to let the strawberries grow. Albeit, the area couldn’t develop fully, it became a popular refuge amongst emigrants. As you climb up the Penang Hill station, you may also grab a chance to explore its oldest bungalow, called Bel Retiro, which is now the holiday stay of Penang’s Governor.

Attractions of Penang Hill

Get on a Penang Hill tour on a clear day, and you may just grab an enticing opportunity to cherish the mesmerizing view of the mountains of Langkawi. While, a night excursion is even more rewarding offering you a striking view of illuminated GeorgeTown. The major factors that draw thousands of visitors to this attraction every year is its cool and unpolluted environs. And, if you are an adventure enthusiast, then a trek through its lush nature trails decked with about 30 meter high trees can be the best part of this excursion.

What’s more? As the region is blessed with more than 100 species of birds, including an array of garden species and some exotic forest inhabitants, this place is one of the best spots to enjoy bird-watching.

So, if you are also a wildlife and adventure enthusiast, then get your tickets to Penang Hill booked in advance, and hop on an excursion amidst the lush environs to have an experience that can be cherished for life.

Rahul's 8 days trip to Penang
Had good experience, every things are planned in good manner except Langkawi Island Tour. all pickup and drops are on time and the representatives are present with our name plates. Overall recommended. we have booked all transfers and sightseeing of Penang, Langkawi, Kuala Lumpur and Genting. Only Langkawi Full Day Round Island Tour was changed to Half Day City Tour(Which was disappointing) Otherwise this had good experience with M/s Travel Triangle and M/s Satguru Travels(Agent). Yes we will suggest for future travels ..

Somyata's 4 days trip to Penang
It was good. just that on arrival we had to wait and then we were clubbed with other family for their sight seeing instead of taking us directly to the hotel.

Sujeeth's 6 days trip to Penang
Firstly great job done by sumith. Thanks for the good price quote by Satguru Holidays very reasonable and all the properties were five star. Our trip was for 5 nights and 6 days, two nights in lankawi at hotel bay view. The hotel staff was also very helpful and friendly. They gave us early check-in and upgraded our room from hill view to sea view wch had a very beautiful view. And coming to the place mainly climate is very nice daily atleast for half an hour u'll have a rainfall. Places to visit are chanang beach most happening beach there u can find everything and it's open all the night. U can find many duty-free shops in the city it's very cheap compared to airport. It's best place for shopping in Malaysia. Third day we were transferred to kaula Lumpur and the hotel provided was Double tree by Hilton. This was a very huge property and our room was is 23rd floor and had a twin tower view wch was awesome. But they charged 15000 extra for that view for two nights. Kaula Lumpur is a concrete jungle lot of high rise buildings and lot of traffic jam in peak hrs . places to visit are The food street was very gud with all types of seafood,KLCC Tower, Kings Palace, Petronas towers(twin towers), and KLCC shopping mall wch is very huge and all international brands are available. There is a Chennai street where u can find Indian food. But very difficult for vegetarians. Breakfast was very good at Hilton. 5th day we were transferred to Genting Highlands, on the way we had a stop at murgan temple where there is a huge statue of Lord murgan. From there we went to hotel Awana this was also a five star hotel but it is very old, no wifi in room and no room service. (This hotel is suitable for senior citizens or honeymoon couples) After check in we went to Genting Highlands through cable car 3.5km in 20min wch was very gud experience. In Genting we went to first World (Indore theam park) food was not so great but cassino was very huge and it was nice. Next day evening we check out and back to India. Once again thanks a lot to travel triangle and satguru Holidays especially sumit for a memorable trip.

Prateek's 5 days trip to Penang
Just some feedback that Coral island tour doesn't have anything else except snorkeling. So if something else needs to be done then please go to beach in Langkawi.
Prateek Sharma Delhi
Jprajan's 4 days trip to Penang
The trip was well organized. Thank you Satguru holidays for arranging this amazing trip. Special thanks to Sumit who customized the package to our needs. Everything was clearly mentioned in the itenary. Only problem I faced was one of the item mentioned in the original itenary was removed in the itenary provided by the transportation partner in Malaysia. Genting Highlands and Shopping in Kuala Lumpur.
