Kedah state begins with its eastern boundary demarcated by the Main Range. The steep hills END rather quickly and the terrain changes into lowlands. Then, among the wide lowland plain at one spot beside the sea coast, a massive Gunong Jerai suddenly makes its presence felt. In the sparsely populated highland areas, many river sources are left intact including the 'original' waterfalls
The state is literally littered with waterfalls, only a couple of the larger ones have been developed as well visited picnic spots.
