Georgetown Hotels
Many Penang historical places of interest is within walking distance surrounding the hotels

Georgetown Hotels can be found in the heart of the city of Penang capital. Not along Batu Ferringhi, Gurney Drive or Southern Eastern part that is Bayan Lepas. Penang hotels are by far one of the top choices in terms of Malaysia's Island and its beauty.

These hotels are found in the heart of Georgetown, or somewhere near the surrounding towns. The Georgetown Hotels are near many Penang Heritage and historical sites.

So you can just immediately explore our fascinating, quaint Chinatown, Little India or go visit all the heritage buildings with Neo Classical, Anglo, Victorian or Strait Settlement architecture. Georgetown is where the heart is.

Food food food is in abundance! What food do you want to eat? As a local, I honestly have problems choosing what to eat. So just follow the crowd or your fancy. These are the real people who have the opportunity to choose the food they want to eat. Why, because most locals will filled the kopi tiam or nasi kandar stall. Or the street food, those hawkers peddling in the streets, you will see they virtually have no time to set up their stalls as customers are already waiting for them to open the stalls or carts. Now you have come to see the REAL Penang! and the REAL Penang Food.

So booked your Georgetown Hotels and tours our city to your hearts content. Have fun and enjoy our warmth Penang. Ever so friendly, I tell you our Penang Lang (People).

Offering Kavadi to Lord Muruga is of great significance as it brings peace and good luck.

The myth of taking Kavadi is associated with Lord Murugan testing Idumban of his determination and duty towards his Guru.

The Kavadi that each devotee carries symbolizes his/her burden like the two hills carried by Idumban.

It is believed that the burden in the life of a devotee who carries Kavadi is lessened by Murugan. Taking Kavadi to Murugan temples during Thaipusam is considered highly auspicious.

Kavadi Ceremony
