Spend your Day at the Telaga Tujuh Waterfalls
This waterfall is defined by the natural pools that collect all along its path. Traditional legend states that this Langkawi area is where fairies used to stop by in order to relax and frolic in the natural beauty of the waters. Whether you want to bathe in the pools, fly down the natural rock slide, or simply take in the scenic view, the choice is entirely yours. Just be sure to wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to hike a ways. You didn’t think you could find paradise that easily, did you?
Gunung Raya
Mountain lovers have been awestruck at the view offered from the top of this 881 meter mountain for years. Sip tea and simply take in the wonder that surrounds you at the summit and you will realize that heaven on earth may truly exist.
Langkawi Beaches
Sure, most tropical destinations offer some pristine beaches, but many travelers will tell you that you haven’t experienced anything until you snuggle into the sandy beaches of Langkawi. From Pantai Cenang, which offers powder like sand and beachfront bars, to the undisturbed waters and shoreline of Pantai Kok, there is a beach here to satisfy even the pickiest sun tanners and snorkelers. In fact, you could make an entire month long itinerary in Langkawi simply by jumping from beach to beach and enjoying all of the natural wonder.
While there are a few cities in Malaysia, such as Kuala Lumpur, that offer very few sites but are high on experience, Langkawi is an area that is bustling with activity and things to do. Tourists can journey through the mountains, tour the variety of museums, saunter through natural parks, aquariums, crocodile lands, enjoy scenic bird viewing tours, and engage in pretty much any activity one could imagine. In essence, Langkawi is the perfect blend of that small, natural island life feel and the excitement of modern activities, attractions, and splendour.
But do not take our word for it; this is one place you simply have to see for yourself.
