|
Bukit Kubu Recreational Forest is a great place to rest and relax. The recreational park is a natural limestone cave in the forested Wang Pinang limestone hill.
The caves have an interesting geological formation and natural landscape but members of the public are not allowed to enter the caves unless with permission from the Perlis Forestry Department.
Situated not far from the limestone hills is the Kota Al Marhum Kayang. It is the burial grounds of two of the 16th century Kedah Sultans where one can see simple mausoleums marked by grave stones with wooden ruins that used to pinpoint the site.
