The Habitat is a world-class eco-tourism facility located on the fringes of a 130-million year old virgin rainforest on Penang Hill. This rainforest is untouched and precariously exists side by side with urban Penang and its environs.
The Habitat’s eco-friendly attractions include a historical 1.6km Nature Trail built in the early 1800s by the British East India Company. Additional eco-friendly Canopy Bridges, a Tree Top Walk and Canopy Walkways will provide visitors with access to the forest canopy. The star attraction Curtis Crest, fondly known as the ‘Tree Top Walk’, is the highest viewing platform in Penang at 800 meters above sea level, and offers visitors 360-degree views of the island and mainland including Gunung Jerai (Kedah Peak), the paddy fields of Kedah, the ‘rice bowl of Malaysia,’ and on a clear day all the way north to Langkawi.
Visitors will find themselves immersed in the natural beauty of the rainforest, marveling at the beautiful tree fern believed to be over a 100 years old, and other ancient rainforest giants such as the Damar Minyak and Rhu Bukit conifers. Throughout the Nature Trail, you will come across numerous rest areas set in various themed gardens such as the fern, ginger and fragrant gardens. Rest at the Golden Bromeliad and Orchid Pavilions and take a moment to reflect and take in the sights, sounds and smells of nature.
