1. Not many Malaysians have visited Gunung Jerai, the mountain that arise from the flat rice fields of Kedah. Yet Gunung Jerai has some of the most unique natural features of a forest on the mountain.

2. There are many waterfalls. The temperature is cool and nice. Jungle tracts take you to many beautiful sights.

3. Then there are the giant trees. It needs sixteen men or women to circle the base with arms outstretched. They are actually bigger (and probably older) than the red-wood trees of America. No one has measured their height.

4. The reason why they are not so well known is because their huge trunks are hidden by the rich undergrowth of a tropical rain forest. There are jungle tracts leading to their bases. They are really worth the effort to walk along these tracts.

5. The waterfalls are not big. But the water is cool and clear. They are pretty.
Good tarred road winds through the slopes to the main habitable area. There is a hotel. From this vantage point there is a beautiful view of the plains of rice fields below and the coast of Kedah. The beauty is breathtaking.

6. However the hill cannot take too many visitors. So there is a need to book well ahead.

7. Visit Gunung Jerai. You will experience the wooded hill of Malaysia.
