Air Itam Dam

  Air Itam Dam, situated in the vibrant Air Itam district of Penang, was constructed in 1963 to provide a vital water supply for the island's residents. This significant infrastructure, standing approximately 27 meters high, is not just functional; it also boasts an expansive reservoir that covers around 30 hectares. Visitors typically come during the cooler months of October and November, when the weather is more pleasant for outdoor activities. At the dam, you can enjoy a leisurely walk along the scenic trails, spot various local bird species, and take in views of the surrounding hill landscape. It's a great spot for those looking to appreciate both the engineering marvels and natural beauty of Penang.
