Time Travel at Dutch Fort Pulau Pangkor: A Hidden Slice of History

#newyearnewtrip #travelanywhere #myitinerary Stepping into Dutch Fort on Pulau Pangkor felt like walking through a portal to the 17th century. Built as a colonial stronghold, this quaint relic of history is surrounded by lush greenery and coastal breezes—a photographer’s dream. When I visited, I was captivated by the weathered stones that seemed to whisper stories of trade routes and battles long past. The fort’s size is modest, making it perfect for a relaxed exploration without feeling overwhelming. Travel Tip: Pair your visit with a stroll along Pangkor’s pristine beaches nearby or indulge in the island’s famous seafood. The best time to go is early morning to avoid crowds and enjoy cooler weather. Dutch Fort isn’t just a historical site—it’s a peaceful escape for the curious traveler.
