Gunung Jerai

The Gunung Jerai resort was closed for four or five years due to (probably) poor facilities and maintenance. It has since been taken over by private sector and undergone renovation. Now run by The Regency, the place is reopened as Jerai Hill Resort, offering a renewed tourist destination for Kedah. At some 1200m high, Gunung Jerai uses its natural environment as main attraction for people seeking to escape city life and relax. 


I went up the mountain with my friends early in the morning to scout out the newly reopened resort. The environment is nice, the air refreshing, and we got to see the sun rising, what else is better?

A group photo is in order.


“Let’s see if I could catch the sun!”








Looking north is a vista of paddy fields and the Strait of Melacca.

Well, with the renovation the resort has become much better, though the rates also seem to have risen as well. Nonetheless it is still a nice place for groups to go up and party or have fun.
