Gunung Jerai

Gunung Jerai is a mountain located close to the coast, in the south of Kedah. It is a massive limestone outcrop with a height of 1200m. A narrow and winding road leads from sea level to the summit. This actually is not accessible to tourists, because it houses telecommunications equipment and is guarded by the Malaysian military. At about 800m of altitude there is a resort, the Regency hill resort, with a spa and a pool. Above the resort, a forest trail leads to a waterfall. Further up the mountain at one point there is an area with rock not covered by vegetation.
