Pantai Kerachut with Dream Wanderers

Went to jungle trekking last sunday at Penang one and only national park, which have few interesting places such as MOnkey Beach, Muka Head and Pantai Kerachut.

We head straight to Pantai Kerachut, a beach famous with the Meromictic Lake and turtle laying eggs. It was wonderful! We have turtles in Penang!!

The entrance, now, everyone have to register themselves in the counter, in case something bad happen, such as lost in the jungle or smtg.. and u have to check out too! Quite troublesome, but it's for everyone's good.

After 2 hours of trekking, we finally reach the beach. The Meromictic lake was hideous, so, i've decided not to take photos of it.. after a lil rest, we went to the Turtle Hatchery were there's some informative boards over there, and few baby turtles :(

Look at the eggs clutches.. the officers there told us there will be 3-4 sightings of turtles coming up to lay eggs each week! That;s a good news!

and we took a boat home to the jetty at Teluk Bahang, cost us RM10 per person or RM100 per boat. He does bring us for a lil tour around, and look at this! Does it look like turtle?

Will definitely go again, when the lake is in pristine condition that is. :P
