Continued from Revisiting the Kedah royal mausoleum in Langgar.
After visiting the royal mausoleum we went to a number of places before heading to this hill outside of Alor Setar...
Called Gunung (mountain of) Keriang it is quite an imposing presence which could be see from the city itself.
Gunung Keriang is known for its abundance of crystals.
It is a limestone hill with many caves, you just got to know where to find the crystals.
Here's the wife posing with baby Al-Rasyid in front of a cave.
Situated at lower ground, I couldn't find any crystal here. Why? First explanation, maybe there's just none here. Second explanation, if there's some, it would probably have been taken or chipped away by traders.
Anyway this limestone hill is quite huge.
It is situated on quite a large tract of land and like I said before there's many caves.
There's also gardens for people to rest and enjoy the surroundings.
Observe. There's also caves at the upper levels and I understand that's where crystals could be found in abundance, if you dare to take the risk climbing up.
Anyway let's watch the rest of the pictures without comment ya. Just observe where the caves are, where the crystals could be found...
