Early morning
Penang Hill can be earned on foot as well as ridden. Popular jungle routes such as the Moon Gate and Jeep Track trail climb from Air Itam through shady forest, past the Hokkien cemetery and monkey-filled slopes, up to the cool hilltop with its wide views over George Town.
The clever move is to hike up in the cool of the morning and take the funicular railway back down, saving your knees. It pairs perfectly with a Penang food weekend.
