Penang National Park

- South Asia is packed with National parks, but the park here is the smallest park yet mildly adventurous with jungle trails, a waterfall and a pool to relax. The size doesn’t make it any less interesting, as it offers a variety of flora and snakes, macaques and leaf monkeys to otters, hawksbill turtles and dolphins to name a few. The best part is the view of Penang Island from here. A night camp would be just perfect.
