Perlis Hills, Malaysia

Gunung Medan

Some 6 km south of Kangar is a popular picnic spot known as Gunung Medan. It is an easily accessible limestone outcropping about 100m high with a road leading to the peak.

An extensive network of stairways and walkways has been built here to take advantage of the view.

Anywhere you look, the hill offers a panoramic view of padi fields, the green hills to the north leading to Thailand, sugar cane plantations, and the clusters of islands to the west and south of which Langkawi is one of the most prominent.
