1. Takes about 30 minutes’ drive from the foot of Penang. Continue driving until both sides of the road are paddy fields.

2. If you’re coming from Summit Hotel, follow the one-way road along Kubang Semang. Turn right at T-junction and Kampung Guar Petai can be reached 8 minutes after you’ve passed 2 traffic lights. Once you’ve arrived at Kampung, you can see the Frog Hill sign, which is about 3 kilometers away.

*Note: To ensure safety, never go to the hill alone, for it can be risky due to red mud, especially on rainy days. Never allow children to swim in the pond and bring umbrella or other heat protection equipment to avoid heat stroke.
