A lush oasis amidst the sultry haze of tropical jungles.
With tranquil tree-lined vistas and shaded walkways, Penang Botanical Gardens is a scenic voyage throughout its rich plethora of gardens. Located on the periphery of George Town, Penang Botanical Gardens boasts such a diverse offering of flora and fauna that you can experience the whole world within this thirty-hectare space. Take your pick between exploring the tropical tangle of the fern house and orchidarium, traipsing through temperate sanctum of the Japanese garden, or even wandering amongst the arid delights of the cactus and succulent house. Run, cycle or hike. And for the more adventurous, you can venture off-track into the unconstrained jungle wilderness to behold the cheeky chittering of monkeys and the gushing ribbons of waterfalls up-close. From relaxing in the fragrant herb garden during the muggy heat of the morning haze, to witnessing the great rain tree at the main entrance as it winds down for the day during the magical blue hour in the evening – it is impossible not to lose yourself within this lovely green refuge of Penang Botanical Gardens.
