Langkawi is adorned with the finest of nature's treasures. With scenic appeal and plenty of fascinating flora and fauna to enjoy, there are plenty of adventures you can undertake here.
If there is one thing you would have heard about Langkawi, it is probably just how amazingly beautiful this destination is. Even from sea level, you would not get enough of its beauty so you can just imagine how a bird's eye view of this place would look like. A SkyCab ride will open your eyes to panoramic views of the city that is nothing short of breathtaking. But just as tranquilizing as the ride feels, it may not be one for those afraid of heights. However, the experience is completely safe and as a whole is worth whatever fear you need to overcome. In addition to the absolutely unforgettable journey across the sky, the views on your arrival at Machinchang Mountain are just as spectacular.
Langkawi has a bustling atmosphere after sundown and this is due to the myriad of night markets that call Langkawi home. The night market is a fun place to absorb the typical East Asian vibe and purchase souvenirs and other items at rock bottom prices. However, the best part about the night markets is the absolutely mouth-watering range of street food sold here. It is lip-smackingly delicious and dirt cheap that you will have a hard time not coming back for more. There is a wide range of local food that is both sweet and savoury so you can decide what exactly you are in the mood for. To top this, there are fresh fruit juices, delicious homemade ice tea, cookies, ice cream, pancakes and what not; you will have a hard time not getting addicted to this place!
The best part about this destination is that there are many 5 star hotels in Langkawi that are located in the heart and soul of nature's finest setting. Take The Datai Langkawi for instance. Set in the midst of an absolutely picturesque rainforest there are plenty of nature excursions that one can undertake while staying here. The forest alone being over 10 million years old is etched with history in its core and is blessed abundantly with a plethora of rich flora and fauna.
Langkawi's biggest highlight is its natural beauty and the many islands in the vicinity contribute to this fact. So hop on a jet ski and indulge in an adventure where you get to explore the many raw unspoiled islands of Langkawi. This half day tour is exhilarating, to say the least and the ride alone is the perfect prologue for all the amazing wonders that lie ahead. Take your time and bask in the white sandy beaches, trek in the jungle and swim in the crystal clear lakes. While you are at it, don't forget to take as many photographs as you can.
This newly established adventure park is an absolute favourite among thrill seekers. Here you can swing, climb, crawl, glide and discover the jungle just like all those who call this place their home. A definite must try for those looking to get up close with nature.
