An early start and drive ensures we get to the top of Gunung Raya in time to greet the sunrise. Gunung Raya is Langkawi’s highest peak, surrounded with over 5,000 hectares of magnificent rainforest and home to the Great Hornbills.
We stop at the top of Gunung Raya to witness the sunrise and enjoy the panoramic view of langkawi. After a bit of coffee and tea, we then begin to bike downhill. Along the way we will get to enjoy the best views of a rainforest and wildlife in particular the Hornbills, Macaque monkeys, Dusky-leaf Langur, Giant Squirrel. Lets your sense take over, hear the sounds of wildlife as they waking up and start their daily chores.
As we arrive at the base, we continue biking through the countryside along fruit orchards and rice fields. Along the way we make a visit at Langkawi Buffalo Farm to see the farmer ant work and have a taste of fresh yogurt and milk. By late morning we would have built up enough appetite for a good breakfast at a local joint. After the hearty breakfast, we will take the drive back to the hotel.
