Kampung Buah Pala is a small village in Bukit Gelugor, Penang. It is inhabited mostly by Indians who are the descendants of plantation workers and cattlemen of the former Brown Estate.
The village is popularly nicknamed High Chaparral due to its elevated location on Bukit Gelugor. The Brown Estate used to cover much of what is known today as Gelugor and Minden.
Currently the residents are in a land tussle with the developer Nusmetro Ventures Sdn Bhd.
