Bukit Laksamana - Penang Hill Hiking *Shortcut route (vlogging)

Wish to reach the peak of Laksamana Hill but look for a shortcut? Then you can follow my hiking trail in this video.
👣 Basically, the route is start no from Heritage Trail → Kopi Hutan → PBA → Laksamana Hill → then back to Penang Hill.
If you want to cheat anymore, you can even take the funicular train straight up to Penang Hill, then proceed to the Kopi Human route there to Laksamana Hill.
Overall, I rated this route is not suitable for beginners as a lot of increased attitude once you enter to the jungle.
The reason you can see the duration considered quite long is that both of my legs were cramped when I back to Penang Hill. The condition slows down my pace significantly but I still manage to hike slowly back to the tar road.
Definitely, I will come again as this route is not too long or short and suitable for training.

Very challenging trail!
Is permit needed for this trail? Previously saw that hiking to Bukit Laksamana required permit (not so sure about that)

No need for this trail but the difficulty is indeed not easy. The full/typical hiking trail to Bukit Laksamana is even harder than this video.

you conquered mount kinabalu before bukit laksamana :P but finally, and did the girls remember your name in the end ?

Yup, after she is eating her Mango Ice from Lily Ice Kacang and searching her phone at there 😅
