Malaysia was my first trip abroad. I was extremely excited at the prospect of travelling abroad right from entering the airplane, visiting a new country and living in a foreign land! During our 9 months stay in Malaysia we explored almost every street in Malaysia, with our backpacks stuffed with food and drink. I will write more about my stay in Malaysia in my other posts.
Langkawi was on our "places-to-visit-at-any-cost" list, without a second thought we were all packed and ready to go to that beachy place! Here is a post about Langkawi - one of my favourite nature destinations!
Langkawi is truly a memorable place mainly for its fantastic beaches and calm life. It's a place with pristine pure Bluish-Green beaches, a lot of cool Islands, serene lakes and streams bordered by thick green trees. The soft, chilly- fresh breeze is sure to lift up your holiday spirits as soon as you hit the city. The beauties of nature in Langkawi will make you believe that GOD lives right there with his huge hands tenderly touching the place. You'll feel Life’s good…nope… Life’s GREAT!
Langkawi is located in Northern Malaysia, in a district called ‘Kedah’. Air Asia, Malaysian Airlines, Tiger Airways have 'exclusive offers' for trips to this place from Kuala Lumpur (Capital city of Malaysia). After you reach Langkawi International airport, you can hire taxis which take you into the city. Langkawi tourism board has setup makeshift stalls inside the airport, from where you can grab the route maps which would assist you in sightseeing.
Like I said, Langkawi sets you into the Holiday mood as it’s packed with beaches (Pantai) and Islands (Pulau). Beach resorts, hotels that offer classy facilities are everywhere. But ensure that you have enough converted currency (Malaysian Ringgits) in hand before you check in to the hotels or resorts, because few of them don’t have card swiping facilities (Even the good ones).
Tourist attractions in Langkawi.
Island Hopping: There are about 99 Islands in Langkawi. So Island hopping is a major attraction here where you pay for boating services and choose to visit a couple of Islands. You are considered lucky if the weather is great as Langkawi experiences rainfall from mild to heavy downpour, most of the year.
Underwater world: The smell of damp flora and fauna here makes you feel as if you are inside the Sea. This spot has exotic collections of Aquatic animals, reptiles with clear notes about them which will fascinate you to the core!
Cable Car ride: Get a breath taking ride on to those misty rainforest mountains sitting inside the cable Car. The entire system is meticulously constructed and it sure gives a big thrill!
Adventure and sports buffs will find numerous activities like Trekking, Hiking, Mountaineering, Rock climbing, Eagle feeding, Jet skiing, paragliding, parasailing, Banana Boating and the list is endless. So, work up your nerves to experience the adrenaline rush in your body at Langkawi!!
Biking: Love to bike? Just hire a bike and have a ride on those lengthy, calm roads in the balmy weather. No traffic to halt you and break your back bones silently; No honks! Yes, life’s all yours!!
Eating Out: Indulge yourself with the food that will have a lingering taste! Langkawi is packed with fabulous restaurants serving international cuisines. Indian Vegetarian restaurants like Tulsi Garden, Papadam takes you to your Grandma or Mom’s kitchen inspite of living miles away from home. The aroma of the spices mixed in these dishes will boost up your appetite. Oh, you’ll think you are born only to eat!!
Unwind @ the Beach: Get comfortable in your Beach clothes, Goggles, Sandals, Beach balls and put on your trendy hats. Play in the Beach sand, plunge yourselves in the sea water or take a warm sun bath. The place is all for beachy folks.
Spas and Bars: What’s a vacation without shelling out for a superb health spa?! Most of the resorts offer exclusive spa packages depending up on your choice. So, pamper yourselves and feel heavenly! Bars here are famous for their languid ambience.
Whether you want to curl on and sleep, or set out in thirst of Adventure, Langkawi is a place for all. So, Holidaymakers, pack your bags and set off to this Nature destination for utmost fun. What's more, your holiday album will have the best greenery and you smiling amidst it :)
