At home in Habitat

Habitat provides walkways through several layers of the tropical jungle at the top of Penang Hill (2,723ft) with excellent guides to the plant and animal life. The hill has just reopened following the damage caused by torrential rains and winds in November, and there is still much restoration work to be done.
It is no surprise that the English who came here two and a quarter centuries ago established their residences at the top of the hill; it was a pleasant 21°C there today with excellent visibility, compared with the usual 32°C with high humidity at the bottom of the funicular.
