Gunung Keriang: A Scenic Hike With Paddy View

#wecreate My wife and I went to Gunung Keriang this morning and these are the some information, tips and tricks to put in mind: • Gunung Keriang is a limestone hill located in Alor Setar, Kedah, Malaysia. • The hill offers a relatively easy hiking trail, making it accessible to beginners and families. • At the peak of Gunung Keriang, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding paddy fields, creating a picturesque setting. • The hill is known for its unique limestone formations, which add to the beauty of the landscape. • The hike up Gunung Keriang provides a serene and peaceful experience, away from the bustling city. Tips and Tricks: • Wear comfortable clothing and footwear: Opt for lightweight and breathable attire, along with sturdy shoes or hiking boots. • Bring water and snacks: Carry enough water to stay hydrated during the hike, and pack some snacks to keep your energy levels up. • Use sunscreen and wear a hat: Protect yourself from the sun’s rays by applying sunscreen and wearing a hat. • Bring a camera or smartphone: Capture the stunning paddy views and limestone formations along the trail. • Start early: Begin your hike early in the morning to avoid the heat and to have ample time to enjoy the scenery. • Follow the marked trail: Stick to the designated path to ensure you don’t get lost and to preserve the natural environment. • Respect the surroundings: Leave no trace by properly disposing of trash and refraining from damaging or disturbing the flora and fauna. • Take breaks: Pace yourself and take breaks when needed to rest and appreciate the beautiful surroundings. • Enjoy the paddy view at the peak: Once you reach the summit, take time to soak in the panoramic views of the paddy fields. • Consider local weather conditions: Check the weather forecast before your hike and plan accordingly.

Challenging caving and hiking trails

Fans of extreme sports can come to Gunung Keriang to test themselves, the uniqueness which includes crystals as well as challenging caving and hiking trails. There is no problem for those who want to explore the cave during the rainy season, because there is a lower chance of being trapped inside, but still, safety needs to be prioritized due to the slippery rock surface. inside the cave, some rocks resemble crocodiles, and the place is named Dataran Buaya. However, the incident was merely a mere coincidence due to the erosion of naturally formed rocks. There are several caves found in Gunung Keriang, such as Gua Terus, Gua Pokok Sireh, Gua Sanding, and Gua Telur, that can be visited by climbers. “The caves in Gunung Keriang are different from Gua Tempurung (Perak) and Gua Kelam (Perlis) because the caves on the mountain are high on the hill compared to the caves in the two states, which are low above or below the ground,” said Abdul Rahman. Those who are interested in activities in Gunung Keriang can contact Escapezone Kedah to book mountain guides and other services. #yearofrabbit #yearofrabbit #mytripvlog #newyearadventure #tripblazers #awesomepic

Great Hotel to stay in Alor Setar

Royal Signature Hotel of Alor Setar, Kedah is aore than comfort place to stay when travelled in Alor Setar. #hotelreview #malaysiatourism #awesomeplace

Spacious & Comfortable. I came here on work purpose for 6days and 5nights. You can totally relax after the whole day of work stress. The toilet, bed and bedroom is clean. Even the cabinet stuck when we arrived, called for customer service and they came right away to fix it. Varieties for breakfast. Not much complaint Just, the access card need to be check regurarly as sometimes door can not detect. And I think they have limit the usage of water heater on night since the water is warm during night and super hot in day. Customer service also fine except no bellboy helping us open the door while we struggling with the bags🤣

Bamboo Baryani & Lamb Shank 👍

This is my newly discovered hidden spot for dinner. Located at Alor Mengkudu, Alor Setar Kedah, the specialty of this restaurant are baryani rice serve in bamboo and also Lamb Shank Singapore style. The baryani rice is sooo delicious. The smell of ghee oil they use in the rice is really fragrance. The portion is enough for 2 adults. The Lamb Shank in red gravy Singapore style is indeed a killer menu in this restaurant. The price I would say ranging from RM30-35 per person. Definitely this place will be one of my favorite place for quite a long period of time. #tripblazers #mytripvlog

OLALA CENDOL & LAKSA

After so long, I’m arrived at one of the best cendol in Alor Setar which is OLALA CENDOL & LAKSA. During my study time, me and my friends always goes to this place. Our favourite! You can find many type of cendol here! Even got laksa, bihun sup, nasi ayam, pulut ayam and many more!! The stalls located at the side street, in Mergong area. Don’t worry the price is not expensive and affordable. You can even get a big bowl of cendol (mix flavour)!! A must try food is their laksa (don’t forget to add ‘Otak Udang’). It is so nice! The environment is very standard and in a hot weather, you can enjoy your cool cendol with ease. Their staffs also are very friendly. My rate: 4.5/5 ⭐️ Recommended: YES #alorsetar #kedah #malaysia #cendol #olalacendollaksa #cuticutimalaysia
