Hiking trip to Pantai Kerachut

Ha, this is only the 2nd time  that I've been to Pantai Kerachut, which is located at the northern tip of the Penang National Park. I did blogged about my previous hiking trip which was way back in the year 2009! As my colleagues decided to show a fellow counterpart from Hungary a taste of hiking at Malaysian tropical jungle and at the same time introducing him the beautiful sea and beaches of the Penang Island coastlines, so off we went there on a fine weekend! :)

Personally, I felt that hiking Pantai Kerachut is pretty easy and we can reach there within 1.5 to 2 hours of hike. I personally loved the welcoming sight of the glorious view of the sea after spending close to 2 hours on just green canopies during the hike! What a sight to behold! :)

After the hike, and feeling ever so hungry, it's time to enjoy our takeaways in the form of nasi lemak, some traditional kuihs and keropoks! yumm! Yes, the food motivated me more! LOL! The seawater quality here is also much cleaner than that at Batu Ferringhi which is why my Hungarian counterpart could not resist to have a dip in the sea!
Alright, Check out the pics!!

We started off our day with a sumptuous breakfast of nasi lemak (yes we ate this twice!) at a makeshift Malay warung! Yumms!
Let the hiking begin!!
I still remembered two years ago, I was here for a short 1km hike on this section of the trail but all dressed up (with makeup on too!) in my wedding gown. Not to mention, under a hot sweltering weather, just for the sake of having my wedding portraiture taken here! I was wearing my crocs underneath that LOL!

Midway :)

Beautiful wild mushrooms

We're here!! Check out the serene beach!

The small jetty where we board the boat back!

The best part here is the turtle hatcheries!
Check out the cute lil' turtles :)

And finally, our boatride home!

I do hope that we can do this more often :)
