bthampar Batu Hampar
A favourite weekend retread located in the district of Yan, 31 km south of Alor Setar. Picnickers revel in the cool depths of rocky pools amidst the thundering roar of the waterfalls. There are several others such waterfalls around the state :
. Puncak Janing-In the district of Padang Terap, about 25 km north-east of Alor Setar.
. Seri Perigi-A waterfall set within a park. The stream that runs through this park has its begining in Gunung Jerai.
. Peranginan Bukit Hijau-112 km south-east of Alor Setar, in the district of Baling, offers yet another park featuring a waterfall amidst lush greenery.
. Peranginan Sik & Lata Mengkuang-Surrounded by the hills and mountains of Sik, 72 km south-east of Alor Setar offer the adventurous spirit a blissful retreat from the everyday world. This area is ideal for hiking and camping amidst natural surroundings.
bujangv Bujang Valley
Lying between Gunung Jerai in the north and Sungai Muda in the south, is regarded as Malaysia's richest archaeological area. Archaeological findings indicate that this is one of the earliest centres of civilised settlement and development of Malay Peninsula-rending it significant to the history of Southeast Asia as a whole.
The ruins, like Candi Batu Pahat, believed to have been built in the 17th Century were mainly remains of temples and statues of Indian Gods and Goddesses, similar to those uncovered of historical sites in India. Obviously there has been some form of cultural exchange between the two countries through their trading conducts.
The Bujang Valley archaeological museum in pengkalan bujang houses the numerous artificial caskets, gem stones, beads, etc. 50 candis or temples were found along sungai bujang and to date, 8 of them has been restored to their original form using the same original materials.
Bukit Pinang
Bukit Pinang is an orchard which becomes a haven for fruit lovers during the fruit season, especially those who cannot resist the 'durian'. Another Interesting feature of Bukit Pinang is the fact that 'tuntong', a breed of river turtle, is found here. Folklore has it that eggs laid by these turtles were conducive to curing several diseases, hence in those days only the royalty had access to these eggs.
