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

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
