CAVA ADULTS -Penang Hill Hike (Moderate Hike)

Hi everyone we are the CAVA Community Penang!!

We organize trips that are REALLY FUN and help the environment at the same time. Penang Hill is a wonderful place full of history and multiple hiking trails. Penang Hill is scientifically important as a type site of many Malaysian plant species. On your lucky day, spot some of the rare animals such as the Dusky Leaf Monkey, Black Giant Squirrel and Greater Racked-Tailed Drongo in the tropical rainforest. They can be spotted occasionally during mid-mornings and late afternoons but these are mostly nocturnal animals. One of the trails we will take is the historical Moniot Trail. Completed in 1825, it became as one of the oldest tracks in Penang. 

We're planning to go there on Sunday morning (10th of July 2022). It's sure to be awesome!! We hope you can come with us, enjoy our beautiful natural environment, have some fun and make friends.
