Gunung Jerai Foothills

The foothills serve as the main gateway to Gunung Jerai, Kedah's highest peak at approximately 1,217 metres above sea level. Located in Yan District, this area provides visitors with easy access to the mountain's natural beauty without the need for a full summit climb. The foothills offer various recreational activities including hiking, photography, and family-friendly picnic areas.
