Hiking Trip to Celuk Tokun Hill | Bukit Mertajam | Penang

I had a marvelous & fantastic time hike to Celuk Tokun Hill along with Penang Adventure Club ( PAC). Cheruk To'kun is located in eastern of Bukit Mertajam (BM)Province situated in the mainland side of Penang state, northern part of Malaysia. 

Bukit Tokun or Tokun Hill or Cherok To’kun hill (however you want to call this place) is really great, vibrant, happening and has an incredibly beautiful view right at the wooden platform. 

Early in the morning, we're gathered at Butterworth railway station, and going to Tokun hill by bus. Our group has total of 22 person. Around 9am, PAC captain Mr Wong started briefing and registered the member for this trip. PAC has partnered with Tokun Hiking Group to facilitate us. 

It took around 1 hours and 30 minutes hiked to the top of the Tokun Hill. ( Pic with power station ). The starting hiking trail was easy walk way. After 20 minutes hike, we have our first pit stop. The rest house was served with hot coffee and tea. Sister and I just enjoyed the scene and fresh air in the jungle.

For the next 30 minutes, the BM facilitator started leading us using hiking trail with more steep hike step go up all the way, and go down again. On the 2nd Pit Stop, our shirt was practically wet, but we still looking forward to have similar tough trail to challenged. At the second pit stop - Called 3 stones which these 3 stone was lined up and might has stop the landslide. We took another 40 minutes to reach the top of the hill. 

About 11.30am, we finally has reached the top and the view was astonished when we can see the Mengkuang Dam and clouds from wooden platform. We were up on a really beautiful mountain view. Praise to the Lord for this beautiful creation. Oh God, You're God of creator !!!
