Amanda's Backpacking Tips Asia

Apart of the resorts at Pulau Pangkor there are some fine cheap huts near the beach for backpackers available.

The best I found around Nipah Bay and they are excellent bargains for backpackers, cyclists and other individual long term travelers. The cheap places are usually "camps" which here at Pangkor usually means you will get a beach hut.

The huts come with mattresses and fan. Bathroom can be attached. We found some nice places around Nipah Bay which are cheap and good values.

If you feel you want more comfort, please review the hotel page.

Nipah Guesthouse

The Nipah Guesthouse is a new guesthouse at Teluk Nipah which is expanding as we speak (January 2011). Annuar and Alicia are your hosts here. They have done a great job to make your stay at Pangkor as much fun as you can get it. I highly recommend it!

The Nazri Nipah Camp

The Nazri Camp is located at Teluk Nipah. The Camp offers 10 small huts. Some of the huts are triangle sized. All have fans and mattresses available. Some of the huts have attached bathrooms.

Food is available for reasonable prices. There is a barbeque on request available with a minimum of 10 people. There is a central relaxing area with music and TV (football seems to be very popular).

Relaxing at the Nazrih Nipah Camp in the lush forest.The Nazrih Nipah Camp has a laundry service available. Adik, the manager is a musician. Don't be surprised when you come you find him jamming with the guests or some friends.

But the main reason why I like the Nazrih Nipah Camp is it's relaxed and cool atmosphere under the shady trees.

It has for sure a sort of "jungle feeling". Highly recommended if you travel "on a shoestring". Price of the huts depend on having a attached bathroom, but start from RM 50.

Bookings can be done by telephone: Call Adik at 012-5760267 or write to rozie1982 AT hotmail.com.

Pangkor Rimba Kem

In fact the Pangkor Rimba Kem is no longer just a camp site. Located at Coral Beach, about 1 km from Nipah Village at the lovely beach the Pangkor Rimba Kem is a reasonable option for the price.

Economy chalet at Pangkor Rimba Kem

There are standard and economy chalets for Rm 80 and RM 150. There are 4 dormitories for 18 people each. Like I said, it's nice place, especially when you know it's the ONLY place very close to the beach in Nipah. The standard chalets look out over Coral Bay and it's a great view.

Pangkor Rimba kemThe hotel has a restaurant but it's only available for groups. This means if you come on your own, you have to find your meal in the Nipah village, a 15 minutes walk from the hotel.

For more info, please call 013 5109384 or 012-5169384, you may want to fax to: 05-6855523. The Pangkor Rimba Kem has no email service at the moment. You will find some impressions of Nipah Bay here.

We do not do any bookings for these two hotels. The information as above is what we have. If they do not work, we can not provide you with other phone numbers/email as we do not have them.
