When we think of Penang, images of tantalising street food, historic streets and rich culture come to mind. But recently, together with some of my secondary schoolmates, we decided to tackle a hidden hiking beast, the 26km Unicorn Trail.
We were warned this is not an easy trail. It is a daunting dawn-to-dusk hike and encompasses all the terrain imaginable, including rolling terrains, jungle trails, steep ascents and descents, flat routes, runnable paths, long and short staircases, tarmac roads, and cemented farm paths.
