Tips from locals
Will propose you a nice challenge, a 2hours nature walk to reach the top of the mountain. all details upon arrival ;-)
A good place to get a 360 view of Langkawi. It kase about 20 minutes to go up there with a car. If you go up in the afternoons, you might catch the wildlife there i.e. birds of various species, monkeys including the dusk monkeys.
This is one of the owner's favorite places in the world. The road up Gunung Raya is ~12Km long, it takes you through the various strata of tropical rain forest. Wind the windows down on your car to experience the sounds and smells of nature. The best times to go are early morning before before 9:30am and late afternoon about 6pm as you might be lucky enough to see and hear Great and Lesser Hornbills leaving or returning to their nests. On a clear day it is worth the trip any time during daylight hours. The vistas across the island at many of the parking spots give a great sense of the island. DO NOT visit during or just after heavy rain. Landslips do happen and the road isn't great.
