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. Avoid hiking during heavy rain or storms. I hope these tips enhance your experience at Gunung Keriang in Alor Setar. Enjoy the hike and the stunning paddy views!

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🤣

Grand Alora Hotel, Alor Setar

It’s a school holiday! So, I’m travelling to Alor Setar, Kedah. I’m staying at Grand Alora Hotel in Bandar Baru Mergong. By staying at this hotel, we can get free parking for guest. Got some facilities like spa, swimming pool and gym but currently the facilities are all under maintenance. The hotel also is facing with Lotus’ Mall and got street stalls in front of the hotel 🍗🌯🍜 Furthermore, we can get affordable breakfast buffet, ADULT (RM20) & KIDS (RM10). As we booked with no breakfast included. So we pay for that price during check in. However, the receptionist said that the price will become RM25 (adult) for walk in. So please confirm first during check in. Don’t worry girls! The iron and board prepared in each room!! And don’t worry boys! The room also has a fridge so you guys can buy carbonate drink! Wihiii~ My room also got table for work and I’m glad because I’m currently WFH 👩‍💻. What’s amazing is, you may get the view of paddy field! The staffs are also friendly and very helpful. They give well explanations to our inquiry. So yeah 🙌🏼 My rating ⭐️ : 8/10 (because the swimming pool is under maintenance 😌) #awesomepic #grandalorahotel #alorsetar #kedah #malaysia #cuticutimalaysia #reviewhotel #malaysiahotel #

Room size normal, amenities complete. Food basic. But near to restaurant.

Relax and Recharge Holiday

Surround with internal design like romantic suites, orange lamp and less lighting are very comfort for us who really need proper rest after a very busy weekday or working day. Spacious and romantic suites, so many choices of menu during breakfast, bath under warm water, complete with toileteries, iron + iron board, hair dryer, small chiller provided in the room make us enjoy staying here again and again #mytripvlog #grandalorahotel
