Alor Setar sits inside Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Every distance on this page is a straight-line Great Circle (haversine) measurement — the shortest path a plane or signal would take between two GPS points, not the longer road-and-turns route a driver would actually cover. View the nearby cities, nearby states or nearby countries tables above.
Scroll down and this page also ranks the states closest to Alor Setar and the countries closest to Alor Setar by the same straight-line measurement. For the complete national picture, see every country bordering or near Malaysia. Handy for cross-border import/export planning, scouting a new travel corridor or lining up emergency logistics across Asia.
Next to every distance sits a compass heading from Alor Setar, plotted on the 16-point rose (N, NNE, NE, ENE, E, ESE, SE, SSE, S, SSW, SW, WSW, W, WNW, NW, NNW). The rotating arrow marks the bearing angle (0°–360°, where 0°/360° is due north) — see it in action in the cities, states and countries tables above. It's the same reference pilots, sailors and long-haul truckers use to picture the layout around Alor Setar at a glance.
If you're stringing together stops in Negeri Sembilan, the neighboring cities table above doubles as a rough day-trip planner from Alor Setar — shortest hops first. Pair it with the population and area data to gauge which nearby stop is worth the detour.

Every figure on this page is a Great Circle (haversine) distance — a straight aerial line between the GPS center of Alor Setar and the GPS center of the other place, not a driving distance. It's the same math airlines use to estimate flight paths. View the Alor Setar map for the exact coordinates behind these numbers.
It's a straight line — the shortest possible path between two points on Earth's surface, ignoring roads, terrain and detours. Actual driving distance from Alor Setar will almost always run longer, sometimes significantly, depending on the road network. Treat the figures here as a quick planning benchmark, not a substitute for a live route from a mapping or navigation app.
