Gunung Raya soars to a height of 881 meters and as such this is the highest peak in Langkawi. This is also the spot of another one of Langkawi’s famous legends as the mountain was said to have been cursed by a giant named Mat Raya.
The hike to the top of the mountain is rather steep in parts, and you can either go it alone or you can hire a guide.
On your way to the top you will pass wide swathes of primary rainforest and can expect to see animals like flying foxes, monkeys, eagles, and hornbills.
