The Habitat on Penang Hill, some 820 meters above sea level, is an ecotourism site easily accessible via a 7 minutes ride on the funicular train. It's a place to visit for the most complete, exciting and educational Malaysian rainforest experience. The first of its kind in Malaysia, The Habitat aims to promote environmental consciousness and conservation awareness among its visitors. The Habitat Canopy Walk and the Treetop Walk offer spectacular views, with the walkways being 'tree friendly'. There is no rigging of steel cables directly onto the trees. Other attractions at The Habitat are Red Garden, Butterfly Bank, Yellow Garden, Purple Garden, Ginger Grove and Fragrance Garden. Penang Hill itself is a historic site filled with natural beauty and charm, and a visit here will certainly be an antidote to the stresses of life.
