Teluk Bahang Forest Eco Park

This Eco Park is a nice place to visit in Penang.

If you want to go inside the forest, you need to register yourself at the ranger office and then sign out after you completed the trail. There are 4 trails to choose from. We brought children along, so we choose the easy trail called Monkey-cup Trails.


We are the second group who register for forest trail today. There are not many visitors today, maybe it is a weekday and not a public holiday. Or maybe many people prefer to go to the beach or shopping that breathing the fresh air of the forest…I’m not sure.
There are signboards along the trail but a lot of the information board along the way has been badly damaged that we unable to know what is the name of the tree/plant already.

We took 1½ hours to complete the trail.

We went to the Forestry Museum also. The museum is not so big but good enough to display useful information about the forest.

Overall I would say it is worth spending time there if you are the kind of person like me who like natural environment a lot.
