Explore The Timeless Beauty Of Penang Hill's Ancient Rainforest!

Yearning for a tranquil retreat into nature? The Habitat Penang Hill invites you to delve into one of Malaysia’s oldest rainforests, believed to be around 130 million years old. Just a four-hour journey from Kuala Lumpur, this pristine reserve is a haven for nature enthusiasts, boasting a rich biodiversity with 170,000 plant species.

Begin your exploration with a scenic funicular train ride from Air Itam or the Botanical Gardens. Upon arrival, meander through the reserve’s well-maintained trails and gardens, perfect for a relaxing walk. Be sure to visit the Curtis Crest Tree Top Walk, the highest public viewpoint on the island, where you can marvel at the sweeping 360° views of the surrounding landscape. On a clear day, you might even catch a glimpse of Langkawi in the distance.

For a more immersive experience, the Langur Way Canopy Walk offers a unique perspective of the rainforest from the treetops. Adventure seekers can also add on a thrilling zipline ride, or simply unwind at the forest’s cozy café, which offers breathtaking views and delicious treats. Nearby, you’ll find a quaint shop that supports local artisans and sustainability, offering handpicked products such as handwoven bags and essential oils sourced from the Tropical Spice Garden.

Entrance fees for The Habitat Penang Hill start at RM60 for adults and RM40 for children, seniors, and students. You can enhance your visit with add-ons like the zipline, guided nature walks, or even a premium rainforest experience. Buy your tickets today!
