Travel Review- Langkawi Island an Exotic Experience

Langkawi Island was one of my most spectacular tours I have ever had. It was a wonderful experience, and I wish I could visit that place once again.

We took this tour 2 years back, and the whole arrangements were made by the tour operator. We stayed there for around one week and had a lot of fun.

Actually Langkawi means “Eagle on the brown rocks”, is the landmark of Langkawi and here you can see a giant eagle on the brown rocks. It is a small picnic spot on the sea shore and most of the people including I and my husband were busy in taking our snaps. I have never seen such a prodigious eagle which was so realistic looking.

Langkawi is an island which consists of around 99 islands; though all of them are in continuation so often we could not demarcate the names of the islands. On the exact first day, we were quite tired after coming from Kuala Lumpur, so that day we decided to roam around the local beaches. It was truly such a refreshing feeling while walking on the cold sand of the beaches; Pantai Cenang is the most popular beach, which is on the west coast side of the turquoise blue Andaman Sea. This is the most developed, and liveliest beach of Langkawi, and you will always see it flooded with the tourists except in the sunny day time.

What a strange thing I had seen there, that most of the restaurants are closed after 2:30 p.m. till 4:00 p.m. in the evening. Once we were so engrossed in enjoying the natural beauty of that island, and we were unable to get any food, as it was already 3:00 p.m. Then we had to binge on the soft drinks that were available in the local shops.

Next day we took a Mangrove tour, which was extremely spectacular. We took a jetty for visiting the Sea, and the Killim River’s passage was truly remarkable. Here, you can see mangrove trees all around; there was one spot called Bat caves in the river which has got thousands of small bats glued on the wall of the caves. Fish and eagle feeding are also one of the enjoyable things.

“Underwater World” was our next target to be hit, and, as the previous day, it was quite hectic, so we planned to relax that day by just seeing the underwater world which was near to our resort. This was quite mindblowing and so maintained, like more than 200 aquatic species were there with their complete and natural ecosystem. Inside that building, we also saw a Zone shopping Paradise, Neptune café and Restaurant. So many penguins were taking a bath while an attendant was throwing water on them with the pipe.

Our next destination was cable car ride to the top of Mount Mat Chinchang, where one can see the breathtaking views of mountains and valleys. There was a spectacular sky bridge also, and this cable car is the longest made cable journey without the support of roads in the jungle. Down you can see, the Oriental Village, which is a, small shopping zone by the side of lake.

We stayed at Asiana Resort in Langkawi, and the ambience of that resort was remarkably gracious, with neat and clean swimming pool and delicious and mouth watering buffet breakfast.

So, during our stay at Langkawi we had a lot of fun and life seemed to be so beautiful that we cherished each and every moment out there. In my opinion, it is a must watch island with richness of natural beauty and least pomp and show.
