About Snake Temple In Malaysia

Post the construction of the Snake Temple in Penang, snakes began taking shelter in the temple. Gradually, the name of the temple came to be known as "The Snake Temple". In the present time, the surrounding jungles which existed during the 19th century have been cleared, and the temple finds its location along a highway in an industrial estate. The snakes grew fewer in number after the development and it is now believed that those snakes which reside in the temple are returned to the snake farm cages at night and brought back during the next morning. Due to the modern infrastructure, the temple can be easily located from the Bayan Lepas airport in Penang.

Thousands of devotees flock to the Snake Temple in Penang in Malaysia every year to make a trip to the temple. This happens mostly during the birthday celebration of Chor Soo Kong. It is a very important event as it occurs three times in one year. During the other months of the year, the tourists make up for the crowd here. There is another spot here which is an additional hall devoted to Kuan Yin. Make sure to cover all the aspects of the temple.

Penang Packages Reviews

Read on to find out why our customers love us!

Rohit's 8 days trip to Penang

Everything was great until we reached Malaysia. The driver, Happy Josan—an Indian man pretending to be Malaysian—was extremely rude. He drove recklessly at speeds of 130-140 km/h and was always in a hurry. Because of him, we couldn’t properly explore Kuala Lumpur, had to cut short our Sunway Lagoon visit without experiencing key attractions, and faced a similar situation in Genting Highlands due to his impatience. On the other hand, Ajit Pal Sir and Arjan Sir were kind and courteous. We requested a change of driver to either of them, but despite our request, Hiralal Ji still assigned us Happy Josan. If you are considering these drivers for a Malaysia tour, be aware of these issues.

Gks's 7 days trip to Penang

Our trip to Malaysia with Abroad Vacations was well-organized, and we appreciated the team's support and timely updates. We had some great experiences, but certain aspects felt a bit rushed, and communication could have been smoother. Overall, a good trip with memorable moments, though a bit more flexibility would have made it even better.

ARUN KUMAR KAMBOJ Chandigarh

Rushil's 5 days trip to Penang

I recently booked a Malaysia tour package through Travel Triangle, and it turned out to be an incredible experience from start to finish. The booking process was seamless, and the team customized the package perfectly to suit my preferences. The accommodations provided were generally good, with comfortable stays in well-located hotels offering excellent service, although the second hotel, Bella Vista, was average and could use some improvement. The itinerary was well-planned and packed with exciting activities, including visits to iconic landmarks like the Petronas Towers and Batu Caves, as well as relaxing moments on the beautiful beaches of Langkawi. Thrilling adventures such as the cable car ride added an extra layer of excitement to the trip. The transport arrangements were smooth and hassle-free, ensuring timely and comfortable transfers. What stood out the most was the expertise and friendliness of the local guides, who provided fascinating insights that enriched the overall experience. Malaysia's vibrant culture, and breathtaking scenery made this journey truly unforgettable. I highly recommend Travel Triangle for anyone planning a trip to Malaysia—it was an amazing, value-for-money experience that left me with countless cherished memories.
