Langkawi – Page 2

I didn’t realize there was such a lovely spot for a relaxing vacation in Langkawi with peaceful views of padi fields and mountains. Discover the tranquil beauty of Langkawi and enjoy a truly relaxing stay at Pak Raja Villa. This cozy place has everything you need for a comfortable and luxurious getaway. Let me tell you why Pak Raja Villa is the perfect choice for your Langkawi vacation.

Accommodation & Facilities
There are 10 houses within the vicinity of Pak Raja Villas, providing guests a peaceful place to stay in the lively atmosphere of Langkawi. These houses are nicely decorated with wooden furniture and classic touches, making them feel luxurious and cozy. Our house has 3 rooms, each with its own bathroom. You can relax and watch your favorite TV shows in the living room. The kitchen has everything you need, like a microwave, toaster, kettle, fridge, and utensils. There is also an iron and ironing board available. Plus, the rooms have air conditioning to keep you cool and comfortable after a long day outside. Parking is easy with a big yard where you can park your car.

Swimming Pool
One great thing about Pak Raja Villa is the swimming pool outside. It’s surrounded by lots of green plants and gets plenty of sunlight. This makes it a peaceful place where guests can relax and feel refreshed. Whether you want to swim or just sit by the pool with a cool drink, it’s a nice break from the busy day. It’s also a good spot to chat with family and friends, especially the kids, while enjoying the fresh air and pretty views.

Accessibility
When it comes to traveling, convenience is really important, and Pak Raja Villa is great for that. It’s only a short walk, about 25 minutes, from the historic Makam Mahsuri and just 20 minutes from the lively Ulu Melaka Night Market. This means guests can easily explore Langkawi’s cool stuff. And of course, you can always Grab or drive when you do not wish to walk. Plus, the villa is close to the city center, about 8 kilometers away, so it’s easy to get to other attractions and things you need. If you’re flying to Langkawi, Pak Raja Villa is just a quick 10-minute ride from the airport, so getting there and back is super easy and stress-free.

Surroundings
I loved the beautiful views at Pak Raja Villa! You can see the island’s natural beauty, like the rice fields, mountains, and blue sky. There’s also a pond with pretty lotus flowers and water lilies. It’s a view you don’t want to miss, especially in the morning.

To me, Pak Raja Villa is the one of the perfect spots for a Langkawi getaway, blending luxury, convenience, and natural beauty. From the comfy rooms to the cool swimming pool surrounded by greenery, everything here is designed for a great stay. Plus, it’s super easy to get to all the cool places around.

2 Must-Visit Attractions in Langkawi : Sky Bridge via SkyCab and Taman Lagenda

March 13, 2024March 13, 2024 dixonthum

A trip to Langkawi wouldn’t be complete without visiting these two key destinations: the Langkawi Sky Bridge (accessible via Langkawi SkyCab) and Taman Lagenda (Lagenda Park). Fortunately, I found time to discover these must-see spots during my Langkawi getaway.

Langkawi SkyCab’s entrance lies north of Telaga Harbour, Pantai Kok, nestled within ‘Oriental Village’ at the base of the Machinchang Mountain range. Positioned northwest of Langkawi International Airport, along the island’s western coast, it’s approximately a 30-minute drive from Kuah town and just 15 minutes from the airport.

LANGKAWI SKYCAB & LANGKAWI SKY BRIDGE
I was truly amazed by the exhilarating adventure and stunning panoramas I encountered during my ride on the Langkawi SkyCab and across the Langkawi Sky Bridge! The Langkawi Sky Bridge, a 125-meter curved pedestrian cable-stayed bridge, offers an enchanting journey atop Gunung Machinchang. Accessible via the Langkawi SkyCab, also known as the Langkawi Cable Car, this iconic attraction offers various gondola services to cater to every traveler’s preference.

Types of Gondola
I embarked on a thrilling ride with the Bottom Glass Gondola, which provided an adrenaline-pumping view of the forest and mountains beneath the feet. There are other types of gondola as well. The 53 units of Normal Gondolas can accommodate up to six persons each, and promises a seamless and captivating adventure. For those seeking luxury and privacy, the VIP Gondola offers exclusive services with delectable food and drinks served onboard. How I wish I could try this one day. For an exhilarating experience, opt for the 360° Gondola, embracing the open-air design amidst scenic surroundings.

Express Lane
It was a bustling Sunday with a massive crowd during my trip, but I was fortunate to have the Express Lane pass. During peak seasons, it’s a smart move to grab the Express Lane passes to skip long queues and ensure a smoother and faster journey.

Walk or Glide?
Upon reaching the Top Station, you can access or exit the Langkawi Sky Bridge either by taking the mountain trail, which could require 10-20 minutes of walking, or opt for the SkyGlide. Although the SkyGlide might entail a longer wait in the queue, it offers a less strenuous alternative to reaching and exiting the bridge.

@dixonthum
Amazing view at the top of Gunung Machinchang. There’s one more attractive coming soon. Hope to visit the Eagle Nest Skywalk soon. #QttGroupTravel #JupeterHolidays #KembaRojak #NaturallyLangkawi #LangkawiBestWey #JomMaiKedah #NatureBasedTraveler #EscapeToBeautifulNature #Langkawi99MagicalIslands #SkyCabLangkawi #SkyCabBridgeLangkawi @qttravelsgroup @QTT Group Plt @KembaRojak @langkawiskycab 📍 Jalan Telaga Tujuh, 07000 Langkawi, Kedah

Upcoming Attraction
The Eagle’s Nest Skywalk Langkawi, set to become the longest freestanding cantilever skywalk globally, has now open its doors to the public. Too bad it was closed for maintenance during my trip. I’m eagerly awaiting the opportunity to explore this remarkable attraction next.

TAMAN LAGENDA LANGKAWI

During my visit to Kuah town, I managed to take a quick stroll through Taman Lagenda. Taman Lagenda, also known as Lagenda Park, is a captivating open-air museum nestled in Kuah town, Langkawi. It offers a delightful showcase of Langkawi’s rich cultural heritage and natural marvels through meticulously landscaped gardens and exhibits.

Guys, be prepared to embark on a cultural journey through various sections of the park, each representing different aspects of Langkawi’s folklore, legends, and history. The park is adorned with intricately designed sculptures, statues, and structures depicting mythical creatures, legendary heroes, and historical events. Entrance is free and it’s definitely a great place for photo op!

Here are some examples of the folklore and legends showcased in Taman Lagenda:

Mahsuri
Among the renowned tales of Langkawi is the legend of Mahsuri, a young woman unjustly accused of adultery. Legend has it that Mahsuri faced a wrongful death sentence, subsequently casting a curse upon Langkawi for seven generations.

Pregnant Maiden Lake
This story narrates the romance between a fairy princess and a mortal man. The princess, enchanted by love, assumed the guise of a beautiful maiden to wed him. However, when her husband violated a sacred taboo, she reverted to her fairy form and vanished into the depths of the lake. Pregnant Maiden Lake, a notable highlight in Taman Lagenda, symbolizes this timeless legend.

The Battle of Garuda and Jentayu
This folklore depicts a mythical battle between Garuda, a divine bird in Hindu mythology, and Jentayu, a giant eagle from Malay folklore. The battle is said to have taken place over Langkawi, and visitors can witness sculptures depicting this epic confrontation in Taman Lagenda.

The Legend of the Seven Wells
Among all, I personally find this one very interesting. This legend portrays an epic clash between Garuda, a revered bird deity in Hindu mythology, and Jentayu, a colossal eagle from Malay folklore. Fought over the skies of Langkawi, this monumental battle is brought to life through sculptures within Taman Lagenda, allowing visitors to witness the legendary confrontation firsthand.

Mat Chincang and Mat Raya
This tale recounts the saga of two legendary giants, Mat Chincang and Mat Raya, locked in a fierce rivalry for the affections of a princess. Their tumultuous battle sculpted the very landscape of Langkawi into the majestic mountains present today. Within Taman Lagenda, visitors can behold sculptures that vividly depict this monumental clash, immortalizing the epic confrontation for generations to come.

I’m delighted to see that these folklore and legends are preserved in the park, reflecting the wealth and variety of cultural and historical tales of Langkawi. They offer visitors a deeper understanding of Langkawi’s heritage and traditions, enriching their experience and appreciation of this beautiful island.

Discovering the Charms of Langkawi Nature Park: A Journey Through Mangroves, Wildlife, and Seafood Delights

March 12, 2024March 12, 2024 dixonthum

Our next stop brought us to Langkawi Nature Park, and we opted for the route that commenced our expedition with a breathtaking ferry ride from the jetty situated in Kilim Karst Geoforest Park. The stunning landscapes along the Kilim River left me in awe, offering glimpses of soaring eagles and playful monkeys swimming in the water.

Upon arriving the Mangrove Boardwalk Jetty, we entered the park on foot to explore gem of a 35-acre mangrove forest reserve. This enchanting section boasts an 800-meter (about 991 steps) elevated boardwalk that weaves through the heart of the mangrove forest, leading to a breathtaking scenic point along the Kilim River.

The Mangrove Walk
As the highlight of our journey, the mangrove walk not only provided us with a unique perspective of the mangrove ecosystem but also offered a serene escape into the lush greenery. The elevated boardwalk allowed us to appreciate the delicate balance of nature while immersing ourselves in the soothing sights and sounds of the mangrove forest. With a keen eye, one might spot a diverse array of fauna within the mangrove forest, including woodpeckers, kingfishers, kites, sea eagles, migratory owls, hornbills, leaf monkeys, macaques, leaf snakes, tree vipers, crabs, mud lobsters, mudskippers, and various other marine life.

Recreational Park with Zoological Features
Exiting the Mangrove Walk, we ventured into the Recreational Park, seamlessly integrated with zoological features spread across 8-10 acres. Originally featuring eight separate animal themes, the park has refined its focus to six, with a current offering that includes a cackle of hyenas, a bird aviary that houses different kinds of birds, peacocks, and rabbits, all open to the public. Each area presents an opportunity to observe and appreciate the diverse wildlife in a carefully curated environment. Grab the opportunity to feed these animals by purchase the feeding packs at the counter.

Scarborough Fish & Chips
Regarded as one of the most popular fish and chip establishments in Langkawi, Scarborough Fish & Chips has expanded its presence with a third outlet, now situated within Langkawi Nature Park! Renowned for their delectable offerings, including an array of deep-fried fish steaks like Dory, Pacific Cod, Mackerel, and Halibut, as well as grilled dishes such as Chicken Chop, Steak, and Fried Calamari, Scarborough Fish & Chips caters to diverse palates. Whether you have a penchant for seafood or prefer non-seafood delights, the delectable cuisine from this eatery perfectly complements the natural splendor of the park, creating an ideal spot to recharge and relish the distinctive flavors of Langkawi.

Setting Up Expectation
To manage expectations, Langkawi Nature Park has resumed its operations after a temporary closure due to the global pandemic. The phased reopening began on 22 December 2023, and is anticipated to achieve full operational capacity by the third quarter of 2024. Nevertheless, over 70% of the park is now accessible to visitors, providing nature enthusiasts with the opportunity to immerse themselves in the captivating beauty of Langkawi. While the current condition may not be considered the optimal time to visit Langkawi Nature Park personally, but every Ringgit spent here contributes to making a positive impact as the park patiently awaits its complete operational restoration.

March 12, 2024March 12, 2024 dixonthum

My recent trip to Langkawi kicked off at Langkawi Adventure & X-Treme Park (LAXP), a haven for adrenaline junkies like myself.

From ATV jungle rides to the exhilarating SKY BIKE, every moment at Langkawi Adventure & X-Treme Park was nothing short of extraordinary.

A Sky-High Experience
The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the SKY BIKE, the first of its kind in Malaysia. Suspended high above the ground, this unique biking experience offered breathtaking views of the surrounding nature. Pedaling through the air, surrounded by lush trees and plants, was both surreal and exhilarating. It’s a sensation that simply cannot be replicated elsewhere. It was hilarious looking at how some of my friends reacted, being so nervous cycling on the thin cable and at the same, I felt proud of ourselves for finishing it despite the fear! Kudos, everyone!

ATV Adventures
Having had an exhilarating ATV experience in Baling, I eagerly anticipated another round of ATV excitement. Fortunately, Langkawi Adventure & Xtreme Park fulfilled my expectations with their thrilling ATV Jungle Ride. Navigating through the rugged terrain of Langkawi’s jungles was an unparalleled adrenaline rush. The twists and turns, combined with the surrounding natural beauty, crafted a harmonious fusion of excitement and wonder. I appreciated the well-designed trail that guided us through, allowing us to get up close with buffaloes, chickens, ducks, as well as passing by pineapple, banana and sugarcane farm. It’s a memorable experience for me!

One Stop Centre for Adventure in Langkawi
Langkawi Adventure & X-Treme Park truly lives up to its name with a diverse range of activities to choose from. The park’s commitment to providing 12 amazing activities in one location ensures there’s never a dull moment; whether it’s the speedy go-kart races (the first indoor go-kart in Langkawi), the adrenaline-pumping Flying Fox, Bungee Ejection, Paintball, the precision-testing archery sessions, Ghost House, 3D Art Museum, Upside Down Museum, 7D Cinema Motion and even horse-feeding, there’s something for every adventure seeker.
