Came up here from station 5 from Moongate. Approximately 1 hour ish from there. Nice place here too. Excellent view. Nice rest stop with rest room. This is a small detour to come here. Walk back and you'll be able to find the path that leads to Station 84, ultimately reaching Penang Hill peak. It was a great hike for us. Enjoyed it thoroughly but please be prepared with enough water and snacks just in case.

A number of trails you can hike to reach Station 39, trail is not a difficult route to climb from the existing path way laid by trackers. On your way up to Station 39 there's nothing much to see and no views to enjoy plainly is a secondary jungle track. Unlike other open trails where fresh breezy winds lighten the journey here is simply windless even in the morning. The trail to station 39 will be around 45 minutes to an hour to reach depending on the situation of the day and your fitness level. Reaching Station 39 is a relief where you're able to enjoy the scenic views of the island below at an elevation of roughly 408m above sea-level. A shed built by hikers provides freshly boil Chinese tea, coffee and plain drinking stream water awaits you. Here you'll be able to enjoy the nice cozy mountain air. This rest station is well kept, with toilet facilities and a shelter to take a breather. Overall the trail up to this Station is quite plain but it have its own thrills and excitement along the way. If you want to enjoy your foray never come on a weekend because of the overcrowding that will hampered your enjoyment. The other alternative route you can climb is via the Rifle Range flats route. This route passes Station 21 and 33 along the way. A large portion of the track up from station 21 is by steps. Not a difficult climb but could be more tiring taking the steps instead of tracks. It took me 20 minutes to reach Station 39 from Station 21.
