Gunung Jerai

Gunung Jerai rises above Kedah's rice plains as a landmark peak with sweeping views of paddies, coastline and the Strait of Malacca. Long woven into ancient Kedah lore and later developed as a colonial hill station, it still draws travellers for cooler air and forest trails. Hike or drive toward the summit for panoramic lookouts, birdlife and a sense of how this mountain once guided seafarers and settlers. Expect misty ridges, shaded paths and photo stops over the northern plains.
