Views from Gunung Raya

Continued from The island of Dayang Bunting and its lake.

From the open waters we retreated inland to a place practically right smack in the middle of Langkawi main island.

We drove up a mountain called Gunung (mount) Raya, the tallest on the island.

There's a nice road leading all the way up as there are three main establishments on top... a telecommunications station, a hotel and a satellite link-up station.

The signboard here says we have reached 2,800 feet above sea level.

To casual visitors like me the best place to really take in the views is from on top the tower operated by the hotel.
