Langkawi Waterfalls
|
The
natural scenic beauty of Langkawi with splendid beaches, cascading
waterfalls and virgin rainforest is its main attractions. Much of the
north side is virgin rainforest, centuries old. Treks are arranged by
some of the hotels near the forest. There are over 400 species of
butterfly alone and over 200 species of birds. Add to this macaque and
languir monkeys, fruit bats, and a wide range of snakes and lizards.
Walks are absorbing, even if some have been spoilt by poorly managed
mass tourism. Seven Wells Waterfall for example is littered.

Wells Waterfall |

The
Seven Wells Waterfall is locally known as Telaga Tujuh and is indeed a
geological marvel.
It
is a spot where freshwater streams plunges from seven pools into
this majestic waterfall creating an awe-inspiring sight. Although the
uphill trek to the top is less than a mile, the trip is quite
strenuous, and you'd be well advised to take water with you.

| Visiting
the pools, especially the top one, will definitely bring excitement
besides seeing greenery and enjoying cooling surroundings. Adding a
mystical touch to the natural splendor is the lush green forest that
surrounds it. Legend has it that fairies used to come down to frolic
and bathe. |
