A morning at Gunung Jerai, Kedah

This morning, we decided to go hiking again at Gunung Jerai. As it was the year end school holidays, there were more hikers, cyclists and visitors  than usual.  There was a  group of students (about a hundred plus from a secondary school) hiking up for a couple days camp.  This must be the largest group of students we have seen so far ..... looks like it is going to be noisy weekend up there......!

Here are some shots to share....
Half way up...

Yes, should make more frequent trips, each time spot something different......and it is really nice up there.....esp at the waterfalls. Next time take you there again. We want to use the Museum track one day, that might be more interesting.
