Begin your nature exploration in Alor Setar Tower, the tallest telecommunication tower in Malaysia, which boasts an exceptional 360-degree panoramic view of the city. The 31st floor viewing platform stretches above 541 feet from the ground and offers impressive vistas of Kedah's mountains, rice fields and the Straits of Malacca. You can observe the city landmarks, like Menara Alor Setar and Aman Central Mall, while enjoying a serene atmosphere.
After embracing the refreshing view, head over to Zahir Mosque, one of the oldest and grandest landmarks of Alor Setar. One of the most remarkable architectural achievements of the state, the spectacular mosque is surrounded by lush gardens that add to its charming ambiance.
Immerse yourself in the diverse wildlife of the Sedim Tree Top Walk, a unique aerial walkway located in the heart of the Sedim Rainforest. Spend your day hiking through the lush green canopy, amidst the fauna and flora of the forest. The aerial walkway stretches for over 900-metre, with a highest point standing up to 60 metres above the rainforest floor. Snapping stunning photographs here is a must.
After exploring the magnificent flora and fauna in Sedim, take some time to rejuvenate yourself in Sedim River, the perfect spot for fresh-water swimming and rafting experiences.
If you have more time, consider visiting the Paddy Museum to learn about Kedah's rice cultivation history, or the Gunung Jerai Forest Reserve to witness different species of birds while trekking along its trails. For a more relaxed experience, visit the Animal Park for a picnic, orchid garden and animal scenery.
