Langkawi Waterfall, Langkawi

Langkawi Falls (5 June, 2005)


Langkawi Waterfall (GPS: 6.43489, 99.70739) is a man-made waterfall located along the road to Datai Bay, just a short distance from Temurun Waterfall. At 66.92 meter, Langkawi Waterfall is the highest manmade waterfall in Malaysia, as certified by the Malaysia Book of Records in 2004.

The Langkawi Waterfall was the brainchild of former prime minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. It is intended to showcase the lush beauty of Langkawi - although in an island of many waterfalls, adding an artificial one may not seem at all necessary. Grottoes are constructed around the Langkawi Waterfall, which is beautifully landscaped.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
