2025 Yan Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

I spent only a night with my camper but for sure not the last time. Just an amazing place and for star lovers! take your telescope if you can, ther is no light pollution and a wonderful heaven. And sooo calm. Super hospitality Great setting with wonderful views and lovely welcoming hosts! It really is a lovely campsite – there were very few others staying whilst we were there and we chose a pitch at the far end of the site so really felt like there was no-one else around. Extremely peaceful. Some of the pitches didn’t look very level so if it was busy you would need to be prepared to be on a slope. #campinglover #tripblazers #fallingforfall #lovernature #malaysiaku #kedahan

Camp Amandara is campsite located in a 180-acre private estate adjacent to a forest reserve. Sungai Raga waterfall is just located 8-minutes walk away from the campsite. Before 6.30 am, campers may move your way and bring your cooking equipment & ingredients to Amandara Summit to enjoy breakfast while watching the sunrise. When the day is hot, campers may visit the river to refresh and chill by the river. For campers who love adventure, don't miss the challenging stream trekking towards waterfall activity. The stream is mysterious enough to attract your sensory inputs. You can see many different kinds of wild plants and insects in this area. #spooktaculartrip #tripblazers #fallingforfall #awesomepic #couplestrip

#spooktaculartrip Pulau Song Song is situated about an hour slow boat ride to the west of Yan, Kedah, south west of Song Song there is a rocky outcrop called Tukun Terendak, we did our first dive there. To the south of Song Song there are another 2 islands, Pulau Telor and Pulau Bidan, we didn’t dive there, but I believe it would also be interesting to dive there too. From Song Song we could see Gunung Jerai from the west, it looked gorgeous from that direction. There is this waterfall perhaps several hundred meter ASL, and at least a hundred meter tall that is visible even from Song song … I wonder what is that waterfall called? Batu Hampar?

Its Greeny paddy season 🌎🌈

#myhiddengems Stayed here for the night during my tour. Met the owner, very pleasant and friendly guy. Concept of the property is great, has a kampung style feel. Rooms are clean. Staff is were very helpful in providing information and arranging the needs of the guests. Lots of activities can be arranged and provided by resort. Morning view of the paddy fields we just awesome.

#myhiddengems The place was so scenic and the water was amazing. But visitors should be more responsible by not littering and leaving their garbage or personal belongings behind. Help the visitors, please make sure you don't leave the garbage you bring (plastic wraps and others) in the waterfall area, you have caused trouble and damaged the beautiful scenery of this area.. your cooperation is greatly appreciated, let's preserve this recreation area.

#myhiddengems The resort is beautiful, very calm, and offers a lot of fun activities. You can visit the front office to ask about all the activities they provide. The food provided is nice, and the buffet spread is varied. I love their steamboat buffet, and the Jungle Cafe is so beautiful. However, the drinks at the Jungle Cafe are too sweet for me, as if there is not enough coffee. The bed is comfy, and the room is spacious.

Within Kedah itself, the mountain stands at the border of Kuala Muda and Yan districts. Mount Jerai is known as the Hausberg of the town of Sungai Petani, the district capital of Kuala Muda.The summit of Jerai has been developed into a hill resort, and from there tourists can get to enjoy a wide angle view of the surrounding areas, including Penang Island and the rice fields of Yan District.#KedahDarulAman #PuncakGunungJerai #GunungJerai

#malaysiatrip Visiting Jerai Hill in Malaysia was a truly invigorating experience! The moment I stepped foot on the mountain, I was enveloped in a lush tropical rainforest, teeming with life and vibrant colors. The hike to the summit was challenging, but the breathtaking views of the Kedah plains and Penang island made it well worth the effort. I was struck by the tranquility and serenity of the surroundings, and the cool mountain air was a welcome respite from the heat of the city. Whether you're a nature lover, adventure seeker, or simply looking for a peaceful retreat, Jerai Hill is a must-visit destination in Malaysia.

Totally unexpected It was an impromptu outing, no expectation. It just feel like not knowing what to and where to go. Then Gunung Jerai crossed in mind. A few message exchanges with friend then we were already uphill. The journey itself was challenging but manageable. The views up there were breathtaking with cool breeze. Hydrangeas can be found everywhere. There were a few adventure activities available but I was not into it.

#malaysiatrip One of the waterfalls that is still open to public after the major flash floods that hit Yan last year. Good place for recreational and family activities. You can do BBQ and take a bath here. There are also facilities such as toilet and prayer room for muslim. The waterfall itself is majestic and beautiful to behold. This place also isn't usually crowded, so you can picnic with peace. Enjoy the lush nature, cooling and windy surroundings with birds chirping .
