First ascent Hindu settlers about 800 AD

Mount Jerai (Malay: Gunung Jerai;) or formerly Kedah Peak is the highest mountain in the Malaysian state of Kedah with the height of 1,217 metres (3,993 ft). Within Kedah itself, the mountain stands at the border of Kuala Muda and Yan districts. The mountain is a massive limestone outcrop and is a lone feature from the surrounding geography of the area. There is an information board on top of the mountain stating that it used to be an island called Pulai Serai before the sea levels receded letting it form a mountain, but this fact has no research or historical basis.

In ancient times the mountain was considered sacred by the local Malays but this belief died out in the 20th century. The height of the mountain relative to its surrounding allowed traders to use the mountain as a navigational point. Bujang Valley, the richest archaeological site in Malaysia is located on the southern reaches of the mountain.

(Note: the holiday resort on top of the mountain is closed till the end of December 2007)
