Gunung Raya is the highest peak in Langkawi Island, its height is 881 m. There is an observation deck on the top where you can see beautiful landscapes of the island. There are also a small cafe and a hotel on the top. We went there by bike and it was very convenient. There’s a good road leading to the peak with a parking lot. The road to the peak starts at the foot of the mountain on the western side. I recommend going there in the afternoon so you will have a chance to see a beautiful sunset! Some tourists like to hike to the top and I think it is a great idea too because you will have a chance to see more than 400 species of tropical plants, 230 species of exotic birds, insects, monkeys and other animals. #mountainview

#langkawitrip Amazing that they have been able to build a staircase all the way from the foot till summit. Absolute must do. Stairs will be slippery due to foilage after rain but other than that pretty safe. Tip for the lazy, go with grab up gunung raya, enjoy the view and then go down the stairs starting from langkawi viewing point. Tlthen take a bath in the river at the foot of the mountain :) Mind the bloodsucking leeches though! It may depend on the time of year (we got 5 leeches in May). They are harmless, but once latched it can be bit hard to flick them off once latched while the bleeding continues for some time too due to the hirudin they inject ^_^ Proper closed shoes are recommended. 📍Address:07000 Langkawi, Kedah, Malaysia

Perched atop Gunung Raya in Langkawi, I marveled at a breathtaking panorama. The ascent to the highest point on the island was rewarded with a captivating view that unfolded beneath me. A sea of emerald green rainforest stretched to the horizon, interrupted only by the occasional glimpse of distant waters. The air, crisp and invigorating, carried whispers of the island's rich biodiversity. At the summit, I found myself surrounded by a serene stillness, a stark contrast to the lively ecosystems thriving below. The distant sounds of nature's symphony added to the enchantment of the moment. From Gunung Raya's summit, Langkawi's beauty revealed itself in all its glory, an unforgettable testament to nature's grandeur. #mountain #natural #Greenary
