About Penang National Park in Penang

Earlier known as Pantai Acheh Forest Reserve, the Penang National Park is also known as the ‘Bay of Glowing Amber’ because of its splendid sunset views. The park covers an approximate area of 2.77 square km and was set up for the preservation and conservation of the flora and fauna along with the geological, ethnological, historical and archeological aspects of the place. It is rich in its natural heritage with more than 1,000 plant species and 271 species of wildlife. Diverse terrestrial habitats in the area like the rare meromictic lake, mangroves, mudflats and a vast hill dipterocarp forest are also covered in the conservation plan of the park.

Trekking at Penang National Park

This Penang National Park tour takes you to the exciting beaches of Pantai Kerachut and Pantai Kampi. As the trekking starts you are supposed to walk for around an hour and a half to reach your first stop which is the Monkey Beach paradise.

You can also visit the Muka Head Lighthouse from here and retrace your path to reach Teluk Ailing again. Trek to Pentai Kerachut and enjoy the attractions there.

Mohit Singh Dubai

Animesh's 6 days trip to Penang

I booked my trip with Kushark from 9th to 15th Feb 2024, while overall itinerary was good & customized, cabs & drivers were really good, but was not at all happy with following: 1. Hotel Selection for Singapore (J8 hotel), you literally dont have any option for breakfast in Veg unless you want to have only bread, they dontr even provide warm milk (this is never recommended) 2. Timings for excursions should have been better, we lost good amount of time and had to rush because of that in Singapore. For eg Universal Studios timings are from 10AM to 8PM, but our pick up from hotel was 11 & return pickup was 7:15; unnecessarily we lost 3 hours and had to miss rides. Similarly for MBS non peak hours entry is till 4/4.30; but our pick up was arranged at 2:45 and got dropped there at 3:15 and due to queue we entered thr at 4:45 and again had to rush & finish it is very quickly. I would mention Ankush (from Kushark) for his quick turnaround before & during the trip for queries & information; which was very helpful. Thansk!

Niketa's 8 days trip to Penang

I have been using Travel Triangle for more than half a decade now, so I hope you understand that I am saying this honestly… The quality is really going down!! My initial trips with Travel Triangle were flawless.. But my last two - Sept ‘23 & March ‘24 while alright, just weren’t as well done as they used to be.. It’s twice in a row that the service quality of Travel Triangle’s partners have disappointed me. While so far I’ve reached out to Travel Triangle quite blindly whenever I was planning trips abroad, I think I’m gonna have to reconsider my choices from now onwards…

Niketa Chaudhuri Mumbai

Dax's 4 days trip to Penang

Package wasn't planned well as in the schedule did not cover many spots we had to do it on our own by hiring a driver there !! We had faced a technical issue regarding MDAC but the agent din't cater the issue well with us and was not available on call fr a half day which got us all messed up before the travel !! Hotel was so complicated and surprised they had two single cots for family booking and was not ready to even join the bedspace!! Breakfast was just okay !! Drivers nor the hotels were not kids friendly at all !! Overall efforts were okay !!

Yashu's 5 days trip to Penang

Trip was well organized by travel triangle. Thoroughly enjoyed it . Stays was excellent Sunset cruise and mangrove forest was the highlight

Yashu Kushalappa Bengaluru

Mr's 5 days trip to Penang

1.No proper information from the travel agent after the 1st installment payment done. We had to call and text him for the 2nd and 3rd installment payment. No update about the payment invoice, travel update and booking of hotel room. 2. Room booking dates were not proper according to the standard check in and check out times. Faced difficulty upon arrival in a different country. ( The hotel reception were very helpful although it resulted in spending more money to check in).

Dileep's 4 days trip to Penang

Cab AC is not good especially in hot climate city. Travel agency selected cheap car and age of the driver is between 55 to 60

Dileep Konkimalla Hyderabad

Rama's 4 days trip to Penang

Great trip, thanks to travel 2agent, mr. Vaishnav ji had made a perfect plan and provided a good hotel's and cab. Cab driver cum guide Sharad is a nice person. He explained all about Malaysia. This trip made me most memorable and sweet, because this is my family first international trip. They did all tickets booking and visa process on time. Thanks to Amit for contacting and responding on time. As a happiest customer I suggest you to all that, believe travel 2agent and they make you tension free, they treat like a king. It's awesome trip. Thankyou vaishnav ji and Amit ji once again. Each second of trip is best memories, because it's my first international trip. Thankyou travel triangle and travel 2agent.

The climate is humid on the beaches and it is therefore suggested that you wear comfortable cotton clothes. Keep hats and sunglasses to beat the sunlight and don’t forget to wear comfortable shoes with proper grip to add convenience to your trekking experience.

Along with the recreational activities like trekking, climbing, swimming and wildlife observation, you can enjoy opportunities for research and education.
