W	Wong Kh on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Take about 1.5 hours for a moderate hiking speed from the entrance (beside Indian temple). It is advisable to bring along some chocolate or energy bars.
J	Jonathan Oon on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Not easy to reach here as quite a number of the trails had been closed. But still, it was a good place to view sunset. I hiked down in the dark. So, please be prepared if you want to go.
T	Teng K.H. [simone food.channel] on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Pretty nice hiking area, however the road there is steep, so it would be difficult to walk up the hill. Many locals enjoy cycling up the hill. However the Glass House is private area, you can enjoy it from outside only ^_^
J	Joshua Chuah on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very nice view from the top. Can see the Balik Pulau town from there. There are routes going down to Balik Pulau. Unfortunately, the environment has been damaged and marred by garbage left behind by irresponsible visitors. When we reach there, it was considered offlimit to visitors. The place potentially or may already been cordoned as off limit to outsiders by now.
E	Eugene Wong (#VegFoodHunt) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Recently fence up at the glass house, not allow enter the farm anymore (that is one of the path from Balik Pulau up to reach this glass house). Refer one of my photo. From carpet hill direction to glass house that path still alright!. Some trees were chopped, so now "easier" and "nicer" for hikers take photos of the view of Penang 2nd bridge.
T	Tan Yi Wei on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is the direction to carpet Hill Yellow arrow to carpet Hill, blue arrow to glasshouse. Very steep hill, wear a proper shoe and bring enough water. About 3.5km to carpet Hill. Hike up to hill can be around 45min to 1hr, because very steep. But hike down if you want fast, will hurt your knee. So better be safe. Can drive up there until the building in the picture with strep, then the rest need to hike. If you love hiking and want to challenge your stamina, this can be the place, because very steep but short distance. Many cyclist too. Can try cycling up with your stamina. Just careful. Becareful, alot or stray dogs on the way to hill and glasshouse. But you not do any harm to them, they wont harm you. Just take precautions with anything to defend if they attack you, they just guardian of durian and cempedak farm. I still prefer emperror villa. But good to check in glasshouse and carpet Hill. I probably won't come again haha. Emperror villa better. Nothing up there other than view and scene. Glass house has no water though. So just bring enough water. Don't hike down at night. Someone told about creepy stuff at there. You know i know la.....
p	pong Gim on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Abt one hr hiking, ok if got regular exercise, if cloudy day, than the views will be superb. The glass house is private, not open to public.
P	Pei Song on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Moderately steep hike from the Indian temple in sungai ara. Scenic view and cool breeze at the peak in the evening. Recently a fence has been set up around the house and compound, making it more difficult for hikers and cyclists to enjoy the view of balik pulau
