"Take time out for some fresh air at Gunung Medan, another limestone outcrop about 100m high with a road leading to the peak. It is situated 6km south of Kangar."
Some 6km south of Kangar is a popular picnic spot known as Gunung Medan. It is another limestone outcrop about 100m high with a road leading to the peak. An extensive network of stairways and walkways have been built here to take advantage of the view.
Anywhere you look, the hill offers a panoramic view of paddy fields, the green hills to the north leading to Thailand, sugarcane plantations and the clusters of islands to the west and south of which Langkawi is one of the most prominent.
