Penang Hill Train

The Penang Hill Fast Lane ticket gets you past the queues for the funicular railway that has carried visitors to the top of Penang Hill since 1923. Its tunnel track is recognised as the steepest of its kind in the world, and the ride to the summit, 2,733 feet above sea level, takes well under five minutes.

The short climb passes through dense forest, steep tunnels, and viaducts, with views opening up over George Town and the strait as the train nears the top. At the summit, The Habitat Penang has the Curtis Crest Treetop Walk, a spot known for city and sunset views, alongside colonial-era bungalows, a heritage trail, Sri Aruloli Thirumurugan Temple, and the Penang Hill Mosque. You may also spot langur monkeys along the way, and cooler air at the summit makes it a popular break from the heat below.
