Lonely at the state park

(Above) The entrance to the Bukit Panchor state Park in Nibong Tebal and the car park (left) is often quite deserted of cars and people.

THE Bukit Panchor state park in Nibong Tebal has been off the public radar for so long despite having so many natural attractions including two caves on its peak.

Originally gazetted as the Bukit Panchor Permanent Forest Reserve in 1963, the park was elevated to the status of state park in 2008 because of its rich biodiversity and recreational potential.
