The forests of Ulu Muda cover an area of approximately 160,000ha (about twice the size of Perlis) located within the districts of Baling, Padang Terap and Sik in the northeastern corner of Kedah.
Ulu Muda contributes about half of the forest cover of Kedah. Wildlife surveys have shown the area to have substantial populations of large mammals, especially elephants and tapirs, as well as a rich diversity of birds including large flocks of the globally-threatened plain-pouched hornbill. In addition to the Ulu Muda Forest Reserve, the area consists of a number of other forest reserves (see Table 1 below).
There are three large man-made lakes within the Ulu Muda area, namely Muda, Ahning and Pedu, formed by the construction of three correspondingly-named dams that regulate water for domestic use and irrigation for most of Kedah, Penang and Perlis.
Much of Ulu Muda has yet to be properly explored. A landmark scientific expedition in 2003 organised by the Forestry Department was the first concerted effort at investigating this hidden realm. This initial effort, although producing some impressive results, was merely a glimpse of what lies beneath a deep well of biodiversity.
The Kedah State Government has recently expressed its intention to establish a state park at Ulu Muda and this is widely acknowledged as the way forward for biodiversity conservation and nature tourism at Ulu Muda.

Geology: Limestones and Cave
Bukit Saiong
Sadly, these rocks, known as batu lilin (wax rocks), are now much depleted in the more accessible areas due to over-collection as a result of high demand by rock collectors who prize them for their aesthetic values.
Limestone Hills
Rumours of caves in the Ulu Muda area have floated about for many years but this has only recently been confirmed. Two moderately large caves have been surveyed by Hymeir Kamarudin and Rohani Rahmani (Ronn) from the Malaysian Nature Society. The presence of limestone caves provides the opportunity to add caving as another exciting recreational activity for visitors to Ulu Muda.
