Ayer Hitam To Yan Kedah Cycling Route Map (70.0km)
The route is mainly on the coast and starts from Ayer Hitam at the border of Kedah and Perlis goes along a canal to head for the coast. At several stretches it detours slightly inland to avoid the bad coastal tracks (which were muddy or full of rubbish). It goes through several fishing villages and the town of Kuala Kedah. Just before ending at Yan, was a detour to Pulau Bunting along the Bunting Island Bridge.
Cycling Distance: 70.00 km. Level: Medium
