★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is the access point to keriang hill's peak. The path to the hill is just behind the shops selling crystals. The is no sign board at the parking area to show the path, you should ask the locals if you are not sure about the direction. Once you see the sign "Laluan Ke Puncak", it roughly take about 30 minutes to reach the peak.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ You can take a short hike here but just be aware of the rock during the hike

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Gunung Keriang (Mount Keriang) is a 250 million year old lump of mainly limestone rock which is said to be in the shape of an elephant and reaches a height of 218 meters.
It is located about 8 km north-west of Alor Setar close to the Kedah Paddy Museum.
It is geologically unique and ten different rocks are found here including attractive calcite crystals which are much sought after by collectors and feng-shui believers.
Like most of Malaysia's limestone formations, the hill is riddled with caves including a larger one known as Gua Keriang.
On the south eastern edge of the hill is the Gunung Keriang Recreational Park which has walking trails with concrete railings and viewing gazebos. It is possible to hike up to the summit to obtain good views of the surrounding rice plains.
There is also a children's playground but the area is suffering from a lack of maintenance and the park's signposts and maps are no longer legible.
Entrance to the park is free.
Next to the recreational park is a street market selling food, clothing and sundry items but there are also a few stalls selling crystals which presumably have been extracted (looted?) from the caves.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A little limestone mountain to visit in alor setar, about 20mins only from town central. Surrounded by paddy fields
Worth visiting, especially in the evenings to get a spectacular view of the mountain with sunlight reflected on it.
Paddy museum, science center and aquatic centre with Olympic size pool are just around it.
