Peranginan Seri Perigi, Kedah

Peranginan Seri Perigi, Kedah (17 July, 2015)


Peranginan Sri Perigi (GPS: 5.80982, 100.40693) is a forest recreation area in Yan District, Kedah. It is on the slopes of Gunung Jerai, and is roughly to the northwest of the peak. The recreational forest is best known for its waterfall, which is approached through the village of Yan Kechil. Look out for the sign for Rekreasi Sri Perigi or Seri Perigi Recreation Park as you drive from Yan Kecil.

Sri Perigi is has a two-tier waterfall. This is one of the tallest waterfalls that I have ever seen in this country. I do not know how tall exactly it is, but it is very tall and awesome. It is possible to climb up to the first tier, and from this view point, you can actually see the Straits of Malacca. But when we saw the waterfall, we surrendered! At the top of the first tier is also a pool created by the upper tier, which is the more impressive fall.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
