Hiking Bukit Chabang

When you are in Perlis, please check out the lookout area of Wang Kelian Viewpoint. The entrance fee is RM2 and RM3 for the budgie ride. From the Wang Kelian lookout area, you could easily spot the Bukit Chabang and Timah Tasoh Lake.

Bukit Chabang is located at Padang Besar, Perlis near Timah Tasoh Lake.

Tbh just like Bukit Kodiang, Bukit Chabang is not for hiking but for rock climbing activities. It is only 248 meters in height but the panoramic view of the surrounding area of Timah Tasoh Dam and of the agricultural landscape is a view that you should not miss. The best time to view the surrounding area from the peak (for me) is during sunset while facing Timah Tasoh Lake.

While I was enjoying my morning light at Mong Gajah, I saw a glimpse of the highest peak of Gunung Fakir Terbang (574 m) located in Tasik Pedu Kedah, hiding behind the thick morning mist. It is a part of the Trans Singgora (Banjaran Kedah Singgora), located at the border of Malaysia and Thailand. Amir, the owner of Tasik Pedu SeriMahawangsa boathouse used to share old folk stories about Tasik Pedu and its surroundings including Gunung Fakir Terbang, relating to the history of the Singgora Sultanate era.
