Highest Point in Langkawi, Malaysia - Mountain Gunung Raya and visit to Pantai Tanjung Rhu Beach
S1E18 - We continue to explore Langkawi Island! This morning we jumped on our motorbike and embarked on our new adventure to visit the highest point in Langkawi, mountain Gunung Raya followed by the visit to our favorite beach now - Pantai Tanjung Rhu.
Riding up to the mountain on the motorbike might be quite a challenge, especially last 10km from the main highway to the top. Winding road, steep & sharp turns, and in addition sometimes it gets pretty chilly, so make sure u get an extra piece of clothing to keep you warm.
After spending some time at the top of the mountain and visiting a few lookout points, we went back down and drove to Pantai Tanjung Rhu, where we had lunch and spent the rest of our day just lounging under the sun.

What To Do on Langkawi Island? Climb 4,287 Steps at Gunung Raya!
Climbing 4,287 steps up Gunung Raya Mountain on Langkawi Island, Malaysia. Kampung Buku Malaysia Park. Tangga Helang Seribu Kenangan - means, “Steps of a Thousand Memories.”What to do on Langkawi Island in Malaysia? Climb a mountain, that's what. There are a couple of places where you can climb to mountain peaks on the island. The one I did two days in a row was Gunung Raya. There are 4,287 concrete steps going straight up the side of the hill. There was nobody else climbing at 4 p.m. when I went the first day and nobody at 8:30 a.m. the next day either. Seems not many people like steps. The views at the top are spectacular. This video gives a taste of what Langkawi is like - from the ferry pier in Satun, Thailand, to the exterior and interior of the ferry, the island of Langkawi through the window of the boat as we approach. The pier as I exit - and the big parking lot - the drive over to my hotel - Hotel Panorama at the base of Gunung Raya mountain. Then I take you through the park and up the stairs to the top. At the top of Gunung Raya is a tower. You pay 10 ringgit (100 Thai Baht; $3 USD) and climb to the top. You are now around 900 meters high. They give you a cup of warm tea (it's chilly with the wind). Great views from the top if not raining. Rainy season about same as in Thailand. Dry season December through April.If you get a chance to go visit Langkawi and see the sights, this is worth it. So is the other 7 pools waterfall on the western side of the island at Mat Cincang. There are something like 650 steps to climb there and a trail through the rainforest.

Gunung Raya mountain - whole view of Langkawi Island, Malaysia
Feb 2016
Gunung Raya is Langkawi's highest peak at around 872m (2,860 feet). The mountain is roughly in the centre of the island and, from its peak, you can enjoy superb views over the whole of Langkawi and the surrounding seas.
Gunung Raya, Langkawi Island
Gunung Raya is the highest mountain in Langkawi with an altitude of 881 meters. It is located in central Langkawi and has the sprawling Gunung Raya Golf Course at the base. The mountain is covered with dense rainforest which is full of amazing flora & fauna. The forest reserve spreads over an area of over 5000 hectares.
During the day time also you can see many animals and bird life like the leaf monkeys, macaque monkeys, eagles like mountain hawk eagles & white bellied sea eagles, great hornbills etc. The great hornbills are the largest birds in Langkawi and can measure up to 1.3 meters from the beak to the tail end.
As you drive, you won't get much views for most part because of the lush foliage and forests on both sides of the road. However there are look out points on the way, but they are not very well maintained. The drive is however quite scenic and enjoyable. Look for the wildlife as you drive up to the summit. Early in the morning, you are almost guaranteed to see many wildlife and birds.
The peak is essentially a granite formation. There is a resort on top known as the D'Coconut Hill Resort. On a clear day, you get awesome panoramic view of the island and the Andaman sea from the peak.
The legend about Gunung Raya. The natives of Langkawi believe that once there used to be two giants, Mat Raya and Mat Cincang. Mat Raya's daughter and Mat Cincang's son were deeply in love, and the parents who too were great friends decided to get them married. However during the marriage, a fierce brawl broke out between the two giants as Mat Raya noticed Mat Cincang's son eyeing another woman during the wedding ceremony.
The two giants started throwing pots and pans towards each other. The legend says that the place where the broken pot fell became known as the village of Belanga Pecah (means broken pot in Malay), the place where the gravy fell became known as Kuah (means gravy), where the hot water fell became known as Air Hangat (meaning hot water, there is actually a natural hot water spring in Air Hangat Village), and the place where the wedding ring dropped became known as Tanjung Cincin (i.e. cape of the ring).
As the fight continued, a third and peaceful giant Mat Sawar tried to dissuade the two and amicably settle the matter. And all of a sudden a thunder bolt struck from the sky freezing all the three giants as mountains. Today Mount Mat Cincang which is the second highest peak in Langkawi with an altitude of 710 meters represents the giant Mat Cincang. The highest mountain Gunung Raya represents the giant Mat Gunung. And Bukit Sagar is the smaller giant Mat Sawar stands in between the two as if trying to separate them.

Die 8.000 Stufen des Gunung Raya | Langkawi | Malaysia • Vlog #62
Nicht nur in Norwegen waren wir wandern, sondern auch auf Langkawi in Malaysia. Wir bestiegen den größten Berg der Insel. Mit 881m ragt der Gunung Raya über den Wolken und ermöglichte uns eine tolle Aussicht. Der Weg ging mitten durch den Dschungel, mit all seinen Bewohnern.
Viel Spaß beim Anschauen.
