Kedah road trip

Over two days, my wife and I, together with 13 other people, including six monks from the Nandaka Vihara Meditation Society, went on a road trip to explore the southern and eastern parts of Kedah. Our journey took us up to Kedah Peak where we spent the night at the Jerai Hill Resort. The whole road trip went quite well except for one adventure when in our search for a durian plantation, our cars almost became stuck in the middle of a muddy jungle track.

The overnight journey took us to the Sungai Merbok mangrove forest reserve, the Sungai Batu archaeological site, the Bujang Valley archaeological museum, the Jerai Hill Resoirt, the Gurun Buddhist Association, the Wat Charok Padang, the Baling hot springs and the Sedim rainforest recreation park. We also visited a cafe in Yan known for a drink extracted from the fruit of the nipah palm.
