Sungai Kedah

Sungai Kedah at Kuala Kedah (10 November, 2015)




B. Melayu

Sungai Kedah is one of the most important rivers in Kedah. It flows right through Alor Setar, which is where Sungai Anak Bukit enters it. Sungai Kedah begins at the Alor Setar suburb of Alor Mengkudu, where Sungai Alor Penyengat flows into the larger Sungai Pendang. From there it begins a curling journey westward, passing the city centre of Alor Setar where Sungai Anak Bukit flows into it. The river empties into the Straits of Malacca at Kuala Kedah (the name meaning "mouth of Sungai Kedah").

There are a number of bridges across Sungai Kedah. The last and biggest is Jambatan Tok Pasai at Kuala Kedah. Several other bridges, the majority nameless, cross the river in Alor Setar.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
