Penang hill hike through "Poh Hiao" route

This was a leisure hike to Penang Hill station 84 through the so called "Poh Hiao" route. We took the left most route when we started the hike. As far as I know, that was the toughest route in Poh Hiao route because it has the most inclined jungle trek that we need more efforts in hiking. It was not easy to carry an SLR around when hiking but I decided to bring it along simply because I wanted to capture the truest hiking experience that I had with my love one and a great group of hiking buddies. I will keep my SLR in the bag if the route is too tough and take it out to do shooting again whenever I see something interesting or landmark along the way. For those new hikers, you can take a look through this blog to see the landmarks or check point that you can actually see along the hike, so you know you are on the right track! Happy doing sports and happy viewing!! Sometimes I feel a bit pity for my SLR because it will need to sweat with me along the hike but I will make sure I clean it up after the hike. Haha!! 


Commonly known as "Moon GATE", you can see the "gate" is as round as full moon!


2minutes rest

Real Jungle

Giant tree trunk

Almost there

Somebody hang this along the way for some time, I saw it 2 years back and I still see it now. Coincidentally, "R" is my initial for Ricky.

Getting nearer when you see this!! 


Way up!!

This sign is even nearer to station 84!!

You can see a big empty space suitable for the group to have a rest before heading to station 84!


Not going this way up, but some short cut to the right to station 84!

When you see this, it is just 2 minutes away from station 84.

tidy up a bit before reaching station 84 in a fresh look! 

So called "Toilet" beside station 84!

Heading to station 5!!

Met this handsome flying biker along the way down to station 5!! 

Really huge rock!! 

This is for relativity!! 

Keep smiling always!!

This is station 39 that we swing by just for some photo shot. The sky is really blurred out.


Rest house at station 5. Very happening especially in the afternoon.
