Malaysia's Smallest National Park (Taman Negara), Complete With Turtle Beach - Malaysia, Vlog #25
Hey You!
Taeni and I decided to get out for a walk today, unfortunately we weren't expecting an almost 3-hour hike through a national park. Or perhaps it's better to say, we didn't expect it to be a half-beaten trail through a jungle. Struggles were had! If you'd love to see us both fighting for our lives, take a watch. In all seriousness, this has been the best beach we have ever seen to this day. It had soft (almost powdery) white sand, stunning green water, and not a soul in sight.
Along the way we saw such beautiful scenery tucked away in Penang's national park. At the end we walked out into a stunning beach complete with turtles. Although we were in the off-season, we still had a chance to see turtles in the sanctuary nearby.
It was a magical walk through the forest, although we got our asses kicked.
We hope you enjoy!
We will also be going to Sri Lanka, India, Nepal, and maybe even Tibet. And then moving onto Europe after. So stay tuned!
We hope you enjoy our adventures. Please Like and Subscribe to see more of the stuff we'll be getting up to. Comment if you'd like to say hi.

Monkey Beach, Teluk Bahang, National Park, (Taman Negara Pulau Penang )
I took a hike to Teluk Bahang, the National Park,Penang. It was a clear path but tricky to negotiate so not for anyone unfit. The buzzing saw sound are the cicadas. I saw a monitor lizard slithering in the undergrowth. There were no monkeys on the beach as they are probably avoiding people who are shipped on boats from Battu Ferringhi, usually Arabs who can't be bothered to do the hike, and so it is becoming polluted with tin cans and plastic bottles which is a great great shame for such a lovely almost unspoilt beach. But it was great for a swim.The rain forest is wonderfully atmospheric. Malaysia looks after it very well.

The Penang National Park, Travel Malaysia
The #Penang #National #Park #Malaysia (Malay: Taman Negara Pulau Pinang; Tamil: பினாங்கு தேசியப் பூங்காக்கள்,Piṉāṅku tēciyap pūṅkākkaḷ; Chinese: 槟城国家公园,bīng chéng guó jiā gōng yuán) spans 1,213ha of land and sea and is used by scientists, researchers, and nature lovers to explore its natural treasures.
Previously known as the Pantai Acheh Forest Reserve, this pristine site is known to harbour 417 flora and 143 fauna species. Pantai Acheh Forest Reserve, located at the northwestern tip of Penang Island, was declared the Penang National Park in April 2003.
Penang National Park is the first protected area legally gazetted under Malaysia's National Park Act of 1980, signifying the State and Federal governments' environmental protection efforts.
Penang National Park was established to preserve and protect flora and fauna as well as objects with geological, archaeological, historical, ethnological, scientific, and scenic interests.
#Natural attractions of Pulau Pinang National Park include the hill / lowland dipterocarp forests, mangrove forest areas, sandy beach habitats, a seasonal meromictic lake and the open coastal seas. Stands of seraya (Shorea curtisii) trees, common feature of coastal dipterocarp forest, can be easily seen on steep slopes around Muka Head. There are over 1000 species of plants recorded which are dominated by the families Dipterocarpaceae, Leguminosae, Apocynaceae, Anacardiaceae, Euphorbiaceae and Moraceae.
The coast is dominated by disturbed secondary forest and hardy plants, such as screw pines. The red paper-like bark of the pelawan trees are abundant; undergrowth and ferns spread between the trees. Other noticeable trees planted include casuarina trees, sea almond, cashew nut, and swaying coconut palms.
Several mangrove trees are found along the Tukun beach. Wild orchids can be sighted on steep rocky slopes and cashew nuts are common here, indicating that some agricultural activities had taken place here many years ago. Fully-grown timber trees are found inside the forest beyond the coast. There are also pitcher plants (Nepenthes spp.), which managed to survive the coastal habitat.
Among animals spotted in and around the park are dolphins, otters, hawksbill turtles, and monkeys. Dusky leaf monkeys and long-tailed macaques have also been sighted.
Home to 46 species of birds such as stork-billed kingfishers, white-breasted waterhens and great egrets. Other noticeable big birds like white bellied sea eagles, brahminy kites, and kingfisher are occasionally reported.
Mammals such as wild boars, wild cats, civets, sea otters, mouse deer, rats, bats, and squirrels and crabs, fishes, and large prawns, monitor lizards, and snakes are common here. Turtles occasionally land in the park.
The meromictic lake has scarce fauna life, since it is usually deprived of oxygen in the lower layer. The brackish water sustains snails of Faunus ater, which shell is unique among the Cerithioidea of great population and high density, up to 6700 snails per m2r. This is unique and singular to the park.
The pure, sandy stretch of Pantai Kerachut is also a favourite nesting place of green turtles from April to August, and the olive ridley from September to February.
