Temporary Road Closure From Kek Lok Si To Air Itam Dam

For those who are not aware, it's been a week since the road leading to Air Itam Dam from Kek Lok Si had been closed. It will remain closed until further notice being given. No motor vehicles for the time being at the dam. The closure was caused by a massive landslide that happened on last Saturday, 30 October 2016, which coincidentally was Deepavali. It was raining dogs and cats that day. Several areas were badly hit by flash flood.

But fret not, if you so happen to be in Penang and would really like to visit Air Itam Dam, there's another alternative to get you to the dam. Hike!!! There's still a trail that can bring you up to the dam. For more information about the trail,  download the gpx file here.
