Penang: Hilltop Views, Kek Lok Si & Local Laksa Tasting

About this activity

Your day begins with hotel pick-up and a ride on the Penang Hill funicular, with Fast Lane tickets included for smoother access during peak periods. At the top, enjoy free time to explore and take in panoramic views over the island and mainland. Continue to Kek Lok Si Temple, one of Southeast Asia’s largest Buddhist temple complexes, where a licensed local guide introduces its pagodas, statues, and hillside gardens before allowing time to explore independently. Next, sample Penang’s famous assam laksa at a trusted local eatery. Ranked No. 7 on CNN’s World’s Best Foods list, this iconic dish is a bold, sour fish-based noodle soup flavoured with tamarindnand fresh herbs.
