Me and a group of friends went to Pantai Kerachut on Mar 8, 2009.
We gathered at the entrance at 9 a.m. that morning before we start hiking. The hike is not as tough as Youth Park, Botanical Garden or any other mountain in Penang Island; but it is not as easy as you think anyway. The journey started with a rather flat walk way. You may find places that is suitable for picnic along the walk way. This walk way is easier part of the journey, no doubts. Then, we reached the junction which we should follow the way to Pantai Kerachut. Here come the toughest part of the journey. It's the staircase, which is toughest part for me when come to hiking. I personally prefer the natural way.
So, the hike started off with the toughest staircase. I ended up need to stop twice to rest for a while before proceeding. You don't need to scared of the sun because it is covered by trees. :) Along the journey, you will meet with many people, so if you were plan to hike on your own, it would be ok as you will not be alone. There are some very slippery areas if you hike after raining, so be extra careful. We met up with an lovely couple along the journey. They are older people, so don't give reason that you can't hike because you are old.
We took around 1 hour to finish the journey. Then we reached the seaside. We went for rock climbing (sort of) after some rest. It was fun! I think we acted like monkey that day. :p
We spent a great time there as we were temporarily out from the busy city life and our mind is totally free from worries. It's a beautiful place.
Last but not least, preserve our natural places.
