With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore all that Alor Setar, 25 miles away, has to offer. Darul Aman Stadium, Kuala Kedah Fort and Alor Setar Tower alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Situated 30 miles away, Butterworth is another popular choice. If you visit, make sure you check out KOMTAR, Gurney Drive and Gurney Plaza.
