Penang State Park - Hutan Lipur Bukit Panchor
Hutan Lipur Bukit Panchor, a less known park located at mainland Penang, near to a small town called Nibong Tebal. The entrance area of the park offers surprisingly beautiful and unique lanscape with tall trees arranged in somewhat neat manner. The trail up into the jungle is partly tarred and quite comfortable to walk on. I would say, the jungle is less "touched" as compared to other heavily visited parks in Penang island. Countless varieties of plants, insects, birds, and perhaps other wild animals will certainly qualify this park as nature lovers' heaven.
The jungle is well preserved, much better than others, The reason to it is obvious, there is no hotel, chalet, cable car, etc.......
