Bukit Panorama
A small hill beside the town of Sungai Lembing, where a dawn climb reveals clouds churning in the valley and the sunrise, the best-known sunrise spot on the East Coast.
Bukit Panorama is not high. From the trailhead in town, climbing the steep steps and dirt track to the summit takes about 30 to 45 minutes, with a steep section, so wear non-slip shoes and bring a headlamp. In good weather the valley fills with clouds before and after sunrise, and the distant mountains look like islands in a sea. The summit is small and crowded on weekend mornings, so leave a little after 5 a.m. There is a small entrance fee at the trailhead. After coming down, you can have breakfast in town.
Opening hours
Opens early morning; generally climbable from 5:00 a.m.
