Keriang Hill, Kedah, Back to Kampung Life

Basically, Keriang Hill Resort is located at the foot of Keriang Hill or Gunung Keriang. It’s about 10km or 20minutes drive from Alor Setar. The resort is surrounded by greenery, paddy field, and rivers.

Plus The Paddy Museum or Muzium Padi of Kedah is just next to the resort. Kedah is consider the “Rice Bowl” or “Jelapang Padi” of Malaysia, therefore along the road we see paddy fields on left and right too. For first timer, it is a must to get down and take photo at the paddy field.

Keriang Hill, Kampung House

The resort has 15 hut or pondok that were built with concept like kampung house, each house has a different design. Do you know that the kampung houses are transported to Keriang Hill from different towns of Kedah. It’s like village resort within the vicinity of city.

Breakfast will be sent to my hut every day at about 8am. I usually ate my breakfast at the balcony while enjoying the nature sight and sound.

My hut is equipped with air-conditioner, water heater, living room, working area, toilet and bathroom, television, dvd player, iron, mini bar, coffee tea making facilities, and king size bed. The hut design is traditional but equipped with modern facilities. However, there is no wifi in the room, you can have a stronger signal at the restaurant or reception area.
