Its been a long time that I’ve wanted to make a trail map of the trails in Penang Island. From the time I began using a GPS device (my phone app, Sports Tracker) in 2011, I’ve been constantly tracking the various trails we have on the island. By no means would I say this is a complete map but this is the closest I have gotten in my 13 year hiking journey (I’ve been hiking since I was 12)!
If Penang were to be compared with the other cities in Malaysia, I can very confidently say we are the hiking capital of Malaysia!
Here is a rough picture of the trails we have in Penang. I hope to complete more in the days to come and make this map a lot more colourful!
Thank you Rexy for your detailed and such interesting accounts of trails you have hiked in Penang. Hiking has kept my husband and I sane during this crazy COVID time. Hope to try some more of your trails next time. Rose 🌹
Hey Rosethorn,
Thank you. I am glad this site helps. And honestly hiking has been keeping me sane too in times like this. I havent updated any new trails here partly since i got my Hiking Trails in Penang and Nature Trails of Seberang Perai book (and the hectic schedule that came with it) published, but lets see a post might be coming in the near future. Glad to meet you Rosethorn!
