Enjoy visiting Penang Hill, the oldest British Hill Station in Southeast Asia, dated late 1700’s. The highest peak of Penang Hill stands at 833 meters (2,732ft) above sea level. The funicular track stretches a distance of 1,996 meters (1.99KM) from lower to Upper Station which is the longest in Asia. During the whole day, travelers will enhance their experience, maximizing the stunning views and resolving space needs. This is a Small-Group Tour limited to 15 people.

Went on a rainy day but still managed to get some great views. David Brown's restaurant was nice for coffee break. Was bit disappointed with the historical things to see or do but views make up for it.

Worth the visit for the view and it was a bit cooler! Great little bar for refreshments. There was this little walk with “heart arches”…but you had to pay….hmmmm… just trying to make money but this just spoiled the moment.

This is a must visit during your trip to Penang. Try to go around 4pm. The weather is cooling on top. My wife, MIL and two kids went on a weekend in April and there wasn’t much ppl. Remember to use the habitat buggy service (30RM) to make it even more worthwhile. Overall I would say it’s a must-try.

Think it is the highest funicular I have been on. Amazing view at top , where there is a small display and temples.
Hard work walking in the heat.

Smooth way to get up the mountain.
Recommend sitting at the bottom to get a nice view and snap some pictures. The downside, however, is that the windows are a bit dirty.
But rarely long waiting time. Goes up and down all the time. Buying an express pass is just unnecessary..

The Funicular ride was quite exciting especially coming down when you are speeding towards that narrow tunnel.
It felt very crowded and slow going up, and for some reason it took a long time to load people onto the train at the bottom.
It was very busy, they must move a lot of people every day.
Cost was 30 Ringgit return per person .
It is one heck of a train and must have been a massive job building it back in the day .
Well worth doing, very steep, long and fast .

Book the fast track and order you ticket via Viatour by far the best way to do it.
View point worth the trip up there, plenty of grab taxi for your return at the base station

Really worth doing this trip . The train ride takes you 714m above sea level and then when you get to the top the views are amazing.

For faster experience esp for elderly or young kids, get the fast pass and book ahead of time. You skip the line and can get the best seats on the funicular. Waiting area have seats and aircon esp up at the top.
