Travel Proposal: Gunung Jerai @ Kedah

Gunung Jerai, is a mountain in Kedah, Malaysia with the height of 3,993 feet (1,217 m). Within Kedah itself, the mountain stands at the border of Kuala Muda and Yan districts.


There is an information board on top of the mountain stating that it used to be an island called Pulai Serai before the sea levels receded letting it form a mountain. This is probably supported by I-Ching's record of Pu Lou Shi (Pulau Sri), a country located west of Sribogha.

Nestled amidst the lush greenery of Gunung Jerai, The Jerai Hill Resort provides the perfect getaway for those seeking a serene and comfortable stay. Perched on the hilltop, the resort offers breathtaking panoramic views that will leave you in awe. The cozy ambiance and warm hospitality ensure a relaxing experience, making it an ideal spot for nature enthusiasts and those in search of tranquility.
