Itinerary description

General Information:
🚩 Located at Penang
🚩 Level of Difficulty: Easy 2/10
🚩 Bring 500ml of water
🚩 Start from Pulau Betong to Gertak Sanggul and Return to Pulau Betong
🚩 Total time for one loop took about 4 hours.

Special Note:
✴️ Very clear path along the way. If start from Gertak Sanggul is more easy to recognise the trail.
✴️ Just follow the white colour Arrow sign and you won't lost.
✴️ Just pay extra attention on the alternative trail (GS - PB) form WP #: 29 - 36. You need to walk thru on the stones at sea side in order to return at the joint junction.
✴️ WP 33 is block by fallen tree. Not sure can pass thru or not but I choose to walk by the shore.
✴️ If you hike solo, advisable to follow the main trail instead of alternative route.
