Durian Perangin Waterfalls, Langkawi

Durian Perangin Waterfall, Langkawi (5 June, 2005)


Durian Perangin Waterfalls is a 14-tier waterfall cascading down the slopes of Gunung Raya, on the northeastern part of Pulau Langkawi. A short distance of walkway and pavillion was built at the lower reaches of Durian Perangin, but sadly, was also poorly maintained.

Climbing up the path along the side of the cascade eventually brings you to a lovely pool which is good for a dip after the long climb. Unlike other attractions in Pulau Langkawi, Durian Perangin Waterfalls is often overlooked by visitors as it is slightly out of the way, and can only be reached by rented vehicle.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
